Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Damascus is the Muslim stronghold of the Romans, and a bull’s paddock there is better than a great house in Homs. And whoever wants to be saved from the Dajjal is the Abu Fatrus River, and if you want the home of the caliphs, then you should go to Damascus, and if you want effort and jihad, then you should go to Homs, the stronghold of the Muslims from the epics, Damascus, and from the Dajjal, there is the Abu Fatros River, and from Gog and Magog, you should go to Damascus.

The Muslim stronghold of the epics is a city called Damascus, a land called Ghouta

If a city is built on the Euphrates, then it is Naqf and Naqaf, and if a city is built six miles from Damascus, then it is Hazma for the epics.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “There will be a truce between the Mahdi and the Romans, then the Mahdi will perish, then a man from his family will follow him, and he will be just a little, then he will draw his sword on the people of Palestine, and they will revolt with it, and he will seek help from the people of Jordan, and he will stay among them for two months, and will be just as the Mahdi is, then he will draw his sword on them, and they will revolt with it, and he will escape until he descends on Damascus. Have you seen the ceilings that At the gate of al-Jabiya, where the coffins are located, there is a round stone below it, on five cubits, on which he slaughters and the remembrance of his blood will not be extinguished until it is said: The Romans have established therein between Tire and Acre, for they are the epics.”

By the One in whose hand is my soul, it will expand upon whoever of the Muslims comes to it just as the womb expands upon a child. A mountain in the land of the Levant, from Homs, on a river called Al-Arunt, so the descendants of the Muslims will be at the top of the neck, and the Muslims are on the Arunat River, and the polytheists behind the Arunat River will fight them morning and evening. When the owner of Constantinople sees this, he directs six hundred thousand across the land to Qinnasrin until seventy thousand come to them in Yemen. May Allah unite their hearts with faith, with them forty thousand. From Himyar, until they come to Jerusalem, and they fight the Romans and defeat them, and drive them out from one army to another, until they come to Qinnisrin and the material of the loyalists comes to them.

If you build a city six miles from Damascus, then gather for epics

O Abu Amer, if these two dustbins are blown up, then remove your family from Homs. If you enter Antarsus and three hundred martyrs are killed there, then remove your family from Homs. The Persians will close it in on the descendants of the Muslims and their women. Then we surrounded ourselves until we entered Deir Mashal. You will see this wood. On that day, it will be the catapults of the Muslims. It is not permissible for them to complete three years. The Romans have three outings. This is the first, and the other. An army will come to the sea with a thousand castles and they will disperse them. They recruit their share, and prepare to go out in one day, and when that day comes, each people goes out to the next Muslims, burns their ships, and makes their fortresses tents, then they fight and the affliction and fighting intensify in all of Syria, and some of them are unable to defeat others, and Allah withholds victory, and gives weapons, and softens the people until it becomes the Muslims’ business to fortify themselves in Al-Mada’in, and notifies the Roman scribes in the breaches of Al-Mada’in, and then the Persians of Homs are closed. Its doors are upon the descendants of Muslims and their women, and the fighting intensifies in the land of Palestine for four consecutive days.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“When the fierce battles take place, Allah will send a troop of freed slaves who will be the best Arab horsemen and the best armed, with whom Allah will support His religion.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“When the fierce battles take place, Allah will send a troop of freed slaves who will be the best Arab horsemen and the best armed, with whom Allah will support His religion.”

When the epics took place, he would emerge from Damascus, sending them the best of Allah’s servants, the first and the last

Naeem told us, Damra bin Rabia told us ، On the authority of Yahya bin Abi Amr Al-Sibani ، On the authority of Amr bin Abdullah Al-Hadrami ، On the authority of Abu Umamah Al-Bahili ، (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the Dajjal ، Umm Sharik said: Where are the Muslims on that day, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “In Jerusalem.” ، He will go out until he besieges them, and the imam of the people on that day will be a righteous man ، It is said: Pray the morning prayer ، When he grows up and enters it, Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), will descend. ، If he sees that man, he recognizes him ، So he went back to walking backwards ، Issa comes forward and puts his hand between his shoulders ، Then he says: Pray ، Prayer was established for you ، So Jesus prays behind him ، Then he says: Open the door ، They open the door ، With the Dajjal on that day will be seventy thousand Jews ، They all have teak and a local sword ، If he looked at Jesus, he melted like lead melts ، Just as salt dissolves in water ، Then he runs away ، So Jesus says: I have a blow in you that I will not miss ، He overtakes him and kills him ، There is nothing left of what Allah Almighty created for a Jew to hide without Allah making it speak ، No stone ، And no trees ، There is no animal but he says: O Abdullah Muslim ، This is a Jew, so kill him ، Except Gharqad ، It is from their trees ، Don't speak ، And Jesus will be a just judge in my nation ، And a just imam ، The cross beats ، And he kills the pig ، And he imposes the tribute ، And he abandons charity ، He does not run after a sheep ، It removes resentment and hatred ، And you will remove the bitterness of every living creature ، Until the newborn puts his hand into the throat, it will not harm him ، The newborn meets the lion and it does not harm her ، It is as if it were a camel’s dog ، The wolf in the sheep is like its dog ، The earth will be filled with Islam ، And the infidels take away their property ، There will be no king other than Islam ، The earth will be like silver ، Then its plants will grow as they were during the time of Adam (peace be upon him). ، The group gathers to harvest and is satisfied ، The group gathers at the pomegranate ، The bull will have such and such amount of money ، The horse will be paid in dirhams.” Nu`aym told us, Baqiyya ibn al-Walid told us ، On the authority of Safwan bin Amr ، On the authority of Shurayh bin Ubaid ، About heel ، He said: “The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), will descend at the white arch at the eastern gate of Damascus to the tip of the trees.” ، A cloud carries him ، He placed his hands on the shoulders of two angels ، He has two ribbons on him ، An apron with one of them ، An apostate with the other ، If he bows his head, it drops like a camel ، Then the Jews would come to him and say: We are your companions ، He says: You lied ، Then the Christians come to him and say: We are your companions ، He says: You lied ، Rather, my companions are immigrants ، The rest of the epic owners ، Then the Muslim assembly comes to where they are ، He finds their successor praying with them ، He will come back to Christ when he sees him ، He says: O Christ of Allah ، Pray for us ، He says: Rather, you are a chapter to your companions ، May Allah be pleased with you ، I sent a minister ، I did not send a prince ، The Caliph of the Emigrants would pray for them two rak’ahs at once ، And Maryam's son is among them ، Then Christ prays for them after him ، And their successor will be removed.”

Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), descends at the minaret at the eastern gate of Damascus. He is a young, red-haired young man, with two angels tied to his shoulders. He does not find himself or smells like an infidel except that he dies, and that is because his soul reaches as far as his sight. He perceives himself as the Dajjal, and he melts like wax and dies. Son of Mary goes to the Muslims in Jerusalem, informs them of his killing, and prays one prayer behind their prince, then the son of Mary prays for them, which is the epic. He greets the rest of the Christians, resurrects Jesus, and gives them good news of their ranks in Paradise

The stronghold of Gog and Magog, Al-Tur, and from the epics, Damascus
