Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

If a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, then the Turks and the Romans will gather together and fight, and three flags will be raised in the Levant, and then the Sufyani will fight them until they reach Qarqisiya. Those who ride the openwork ones will fall on the hills of the Peninsula and the Levant and take their women captive, to the point that a man will see the white of his wife’s anklets and will not be able to defend her.

The first people of the Maghreb entered the Damascus Mosque, and while they were looking at its marvels, the earth trembled, and it sank to the west of its mosque, and it eclipsed a village called Harasta. Then the Sufyani went out and killed them until they entered Egypt, then returned and fought the people of the East until he returned them to Iraq.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، He said: “The Berbers come and camp between Palestine and Jordan ، Then the crowds of the East and Syria will march towards them until they stop the tax collector ، A man emerges from Weld Sakhr in weakness ، He throws the Moroccan armies on the Bisan fold and deters them from it ، Then he will meet them the next day and deter them from it ، They side with her ، Then he will meet them on the third day and drive them back to the spring of the wind ، Then the death of their leader comes to them, and they separate into three groups: one group turns back on its heels ، And a group joins the Hijaz ، A band follows Al-Sakhri ، He walks to the rest of their crowd until he comes to Thanyat Fayq ، And they meet her ، Vidal rocks them ، Then you turn to the masses of the East and the Levant and meet them ، He guides them between the reward and the waste ، Until the horses wade in blood ، The people of the Levant kill their president ، They side with Al-Sakhri, who enters Damascus and represents him there ، Banners will emerge from the East, blackened ، They descend on Kufa and their leader hides there ، He does not know his location ، And that army will rise ، Then a man who had been hidden in the depths of the valley comes out and is in command of that army ، Its main source was anger at what Al-Sakhri did to his family ، He marches with the soldiers of the East towards the Levant ، Al-Sakhri reaches his destination and heads the soldiers of the people of Morocco towards him ، They meet the mountain of pebbles ، A lot of world will perish between them ، And the Mashriqi leaves ، The rock follows it and overtakes it in Qarqesya at the complex of the two rivers and they meet ، Their patience exhausts them, and seven of the Levantine soldiers are killed out of every ten ، Then Al-Sakhri's soldiers entered Kufa and attacked its people ، He directs a soldier from the Maghreb to the soldiers from the East next to him ، Then they will bring him their captives ، Perhaps this is the case when the news of the Mahdi’s appearance in Mecca comes to him ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa, and he will be eclipsed by it.” Artah said: “And he will be between the people of the West and the people of the East at the bridge of Fustat for seven days.” ، Then they meet Al-Arish, and the people of the East will be defeated until they reach the Jordan ، Then the Sufyani will come out after them ، The Romans who were in Homs were afraid of the Berbers ، And they say: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.

Al-Sufyani is from the descendants of Khalid bin Yazid bin Abi Sufyan. He is a huge man, with smallpox marks on his face and a white spot on his eyes. He comes out of the direction of the city of Damascus in a valley called Wadi Al-Yabis. He goes out with seven people, with a man among them with a tied flag. They know victory by his banner. They march in front of him for thirty miles. No one who wants it sees that flag unless he is defeated.

Al-Sufyani emerges from the dry valley, and the owner of Damascus comes out to fight him, and when he looks at his banner, he will be defeated

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam, on the authority of his sheikhs, who said: “The Sufyani is brought in his dream and it is said to him: Get up and go out. He gets up and does not find anyone. Then he comes the second time and is told the same thing. Then he is told a third time: Get up and go out. Look who is at the door of your house. The third time he descends to the door of his house and finds him with seven or nine people and a banner with them. They say: We are your companions. So he goes out and people follow him.” From Qurayyat Wadi al-Yabis, the ruler of Damascus would go out to meet him and fight him, and when he saw his banner, he would be defeated, and he would be the governor of Damascus on that day, nor of Banu Abbas.”

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “If the Turks and the Romans meet, and a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, three flags will be raised in the Levant: Al-Aqba’, Al-Ashab, and Al-Sufyani. A man will be besieged in Damascus and he will be killed and those with him, and two men from Banu Abi Sufyan will come out, and the victory will be for the second. If Al-Aqba’s army arrives from Egypt, Al-Sufyani will appear on them with his army, and the Turks will be killed. And the Romans in Qarqisia until the lions of the earth are satisfied with their meat.”

Then Al-Sufyani appears against the Marwanites and kills them, then he follows the Banu Marwan and kills them, then he approaches the people of the East and the Banu Abbas until he enters Kufa. Al-Sufyani disputes in Damascus with one of the Banu Marwan, so he appears against Al-Marwani and kills him, then he kills the Banu Marwan for three months, then he approaches the people of the East until he enters Kufa.

The darkness of the people of that time gathers for the murderer, until when they look at their enemy and think that they have defeated their country, the head of their tyrant approaches, who was not known before. He is a tall man, with curly hair, sunken eyes, and prominent eyebrows with yellow hair, until when he looks at Al-Mansur at the end of that year in which the darkness of the people of that time gathers for the murderer, Al-Mansur dies while they are separated in more than one town, and when the news reaches them, they are struck where they were, and they pledge allegiance to Abdullah, and he returns. Al-Sufyani, so he calls a group of the people of the Maghreb to himself, and they gather together as they had never gathered for anyone else, as previously mentioned in the knowledge of Allah Almighty. Then he sets off a delegation from Kufa, and if the delegation is from Basra, then the majority of them will perish from burning and drowning, and then there will be an eclipse in Kufa. If the delegation is from the Maghreb, then it will be a minor attack, then woe to Abdullah from Abdullah. Then he will revolt in Homs and be kindled in Damascus, and a man will emerge in Palestine who appears on the He mourned him, at his hands the destruction of the people of the East, he possessed the burden of a woman, and three armies went out for him to Kufan, with which they attacked verses of the Quraysh, saving them from their day.

If Al-Sufyani returns, he will summon a group of the people of the Maghreb to himself, and they will gather for him as they have never gathered for anyone else, as Allah Almighty has previously known. Then he will send a delegation from Kufa Al-Anbar, and then the two groups will meet in Qarqisiya, and patience will be exhausted on them and victory will be lifted from them, until they devote themselves. And if his mission was from the Maghreb, it would be in a minor battle, so woe to Abdullah from Abdullah, for he will revolt in Homs, which is the most vile of the wilderness, and will be kindled in Damascus. At his hands, the people of the East were destroyed

Al-Sufyani defeats the group twice, accepts the tribute, and takes captive the offspring, and they slaughter a woman from the Quraysh, with which he rips open the stomachs of the women of Bani Hashim, then he dies, and then a rebel from the family of that woman arises after years called Abdullah. He never worshiped Allah Almighty. He is the most vile of creatures, deformed, cursed. Whoever follows him and calls for him will be cursed by the people of heaven and the people of earth. He is the son of the eater of livers. He comes to Damascus, sits on its pulpit, and catches fire. He commanded him to go to Homs, and to light a fire in Damascus, and that is when two men from the Abbasids are removed, and they are the two branches, and when the second one is different, Al-Sufyani emerges, young in age, curly-haired, white, with a long body, and his middle finger is shaved, and there will be clashes between him and them in the Levant, and he will take the women of the Abbasids captive until he brings them to Damascus.

Al-Sufyani sends to the Iraqi army a man from Banu Haritha who has two glands, called Nimr or Qamar ibn Abbad, a strong man with a short, bald, broad-shouldered man from his people in front, and he fights him from the Levant from the people of the East, and in a place called Al-Thaniyya, and the people of Homs are in the war of the East and their supporters, and there on that day is a great army of them fighting them in the vicinity of Damascus, all of which defeats them, then the people of Damascus and Homs side with Al-Sufyani. They will meet with the people of the East in a place called Lidin, which lies east of Homs, and seventy-odd thousand people will be killed there, three-quarters of whom are from the East. Then the attack will be upon them, and the army that was sent to the East will march until they descend on Kufa. How much blood will be spilled, stomachs cut open, newborns killed, looted property, and blood permissible. Then Al-Sufyani writes to him to march to Hijaz after he has ravaged it through the battle of eternity.

The sign of the Mahdi is when the Turks descend upon you, and your caliph who collects money dies, and a weak person is appointed as his successor, and he is deposed two years after his pledge of allegiance, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and the departure of three people from the Levant, and the departure of the people of the Maghreb to Egypt, and that is the leadership of the Sufyani.

Al-Mahdi, Al-Sufyani, and Kalba fight in Bayt Al-Maqdis when the pledge of allegiance resigns, and Al-Sufyani is brought captive, ordered to be slaughtered at the Gate of Mercy, then their women and spoils are sold on the steps of Damascus.

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Khaled bin Abi Imran, on the authority of Hanash bin Abdullah, he heard Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) say: “If the Sufyani army was eclipsed, the ruler of Mecca would say: This is the sign that you were informing about. They will march to the Levant, and he will inform the ruler of Damascus and send him his pledge of allegiance and he will pledge allegiance to him. Then a dog will come to him after that and they will say: What have you done? You went to our pledge of allegiance and took it off and made it for him? Then he says: What should I do? Give me the pledge of allegiance. The people say: We are with you, so pledge your pledge of allegiance. He sends a message to Al-Hashimi and he demands his pledge of allegiance from him. Then they fight him and Al-Hashemi defeats them. On that day, he who focuses his spear on a living dog will be his. The one who is disappointed is the one who will be disappointed on the day a dog is plundered.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، And Abu Al-Mughirah ، On the authority of Ibn Ayyash ، He said: Our sheikhs told us ، About heel ، One of them exceeds the other in the hadith ، They said: Ka'b Al-Ahbar and a monk called Joshua met ، He was a scholar and reader of books ، So they thought about the world and what was happening in it ، Joshua said: O Kaab! ، A prophet appears who has a religion whose religion prevails over all religions ، So Joshua said to him: Tell me about their kings, O Kaab, I will believe you and embrace your religion ، Ka'b said: "I find in the Torah that there are twelve kings among them." ، The first of them is a friend who dies ، Then Al-Farouq is killed ، Then the prince is killed ، Then the head of kings dies a death ، Then the owner of the guards dies ، Then a mighty man dies ، Then the owner of the nerve, who is the last of the kings, dies ، Then the owner of the mark dies ، Joshua said: Then tell me about their deafening sedition in which blood is being shed ، And affliction abounds therein ، Ka'b said: This will happen if Ibn Mahiq kills the golden ones ، When he is killed, the affliction falls ، It raises prosperity ، It is lit by intelligent and humble people ، Then they will have four kings from the family of the owner of the sign ، Two kings whose books are not read ، And an angel dies in his bed and stays for a short time ، And a king will come from the valley, and calamity will be on his hands ، On his hands, wreaths are broken ، He lives in Homs for four months ، Then terror comes to him from his land ، So he left ، The calamity falls in the stomach ، If that happened, chaos would break out between them ، The strife of Bani Abbas occurred ، They send eleven passengers to the East, but Allah is not pleased with their deeds ، The people of that time would be afflicted with them, and there would not remain any family among the Arabs without their harm entering upon them ، They come from the East like a bride ، And then their flags appear ، Black flags ، They tie their horses to olive trees ، Allah will kill every tyrant or enemy of theirs at their hands ، Until all that remains is a fugitive or a disappeared person ، Of their family there will be three: Al-Mansour ، And the serial killer ، And the Mahdi ، Joshua said: Who will be their leaders and governors? He said: Those who walk in droves ، And they wear outfits ، Then the murderer blames the people of Morocco for eclipse ، Iram stays at forty-five in the morning ، Then seventy thousand drawn swords will enter it ، Their slogan: Die, die ، Then after that, the incest has two incidents: one in Morocco ، And another in Al-Jawf ، Then the war ends ، Joshua said: How long will their reign last? Ka'b said: Nine times seven ، And at the end of that woe will be theirs ، Joshua said: What is the sign of their destruction? He said: Drought in the East ، And this is in Morocco ، And redness in the stomach ، And Fash died in the kiss ، Then he gathers for the murderer the darkness of the people of that time ، They take their religion as a mockery and a game ، They sell it for dinars and dirhams ، Even if they are where they are looking at their enemy ، They thought they were attacking their country ، I kiss the head of their tyrant ، He didn't know before ، A quarter man ، curly ، Sunken eyes ، Eyebrow supervisor ، Small ، Even if it came to Al-Mansour at the end of that year in which the people of that time gathered to mourn the incest, Al-Mansour died ، They are dispersed in more than one town ، When the news reached them, they struck wherever they were ، So they pledged allegiance to Abdullah ، So Sufyani returns and calls for himself to join the people of Morocco ، They gather for him as they have never gathered for anyone else ، Then he departs from Kufa ، If the resurrection was not from Basra, then most of them would perish from burning and drowning ، And then there will be an eclipse in Kufa ، The two groups meet in a land called Qarqisya ، Their patience is exhausted ، Victory will be lifted from them until they devote themselves ، If the resurrection occurred before sunset, it would have been a minor event ، Then woe to Abdullah from Abdullah ، I fear for you that the yellow flags will come down from Morocco to Egypt. They will have two attacks: one in Palestine ، The other is in the Levant ، Then the Muhajireen leaned on them after a woman from the Quraish had been slaughtered ، If I wanted to name it, I would name it ، They are destroyed, then a rebel named Abdullah rises up ، The most insidious wilderness ، His affairs are on fire in Homs ، It is lit in Damascus ، He leaves in Palestine ، It appears on those who oppose him ، The people of the East will perish at his hands ، His invitation is an evil invitation ، And they killed him the worst ، Owns a woman's pregnancy ، He leaves with three armies to Kufan ، They include verses from Qais ، They save their day ، And an army to Mecca and Medina, and they were struck by an eclipse ، Only two men from Juhayna escaped from them ، A man returns to the Levant ، And a man sets off for Mecca.”

Ibn Ayyash said: Some told me ، People of knowledge ، On the authority of Muhammad bin Jaafar ، He said: Ali bin Abi Talib said: “A man will emerge from the descendants of Hussein whose name will be the name of your Prophet ، The people of heaven and earth rejoice at his departure ، A man said to him: O Commander of the Faithful ، Sufyani, what is his name? He said: He is from the descendants of Khalid bin Yazid bin Abi Sufyan ، Huge important man ، He has traces of smallpox on his face ، And his eye is a white joke ، His departure is the exit of the Mahdi ، There is no authority between them ، He pushes the caliphate to the Mahdi ، It emerges from the Levant from a valley in the land of Damascus called Wadi Al-Yabis ، He comes out in seven people ، With a man among them holding a banner ، They know victory in his banner ، He walks in his hands for thirty miles ، No one who wants to see that knowledge will be defeated ، He comes to Damascus and sits on its pulpit ، Jurists and readers are drawn to me ، And he puts the sword to the merchants ، And the owners of money ، He guides readers and helps them in their affairs ، None of them would prevent him from killing him ، The army is preparing an army for the East ، And another to Morocco ، And another to Yemen ، The Iraqi army appoints a man from Banu Haritha called Qamar bin Abbad ، A massive man with two glands ، In front of him is a short, bald man from his people ، Broad shoulders ، He will be fought by people from the Levant and from the East ، And on that day there would be a great army of them among them ، He fights them between Damascus ، And in a place called the structure ، And the people of Homs in the war against the people of the East and their supporters ، All of this was defeated by the Sufyani ، Then he sides with the people of Damascus and Homs with Al-Sufyani ، They meet with the people of the East in a place in the land of Homs called Lidin, next to Salamiya ، Sixty-odd thousand people are killed ، Three quarters of them are from the Levant ، Then the plan will be upon them ، Let the army he directs march towards the east until it lands in Kufa ، There will be intense fighting between them ، There are many deaths ، Then defeat will befall the people of Kufa ، How much blood was spilled? ، And a bloated stomach ، Walid was killed ، And looted money ، And relief is impossible ، People fled to Mecca ، Al-Sufyani writes to the owner of that army that he should march to Hijaz ، And he walks after he fights her with the fight of the eternal ، So he goes down to the city ، Then he put the sword against the Quraysh ، Four hundred men from among them and from the Ansar were killed ، And it turns stomachs ، The boys are killed ، He kills two brothers from Quraish, from Banu Hashim ، He crucifies them at the door of the mosque ، A man and his sister are called Muhammad and Fatima ، People flee from him to Mecca ، So he marches with his army to Mecca, which he wants ، So the desert descends ، So Allah Almighty commands Gabriel (peace be upon him) and he shouts in his voice: O Bayda, my hand is with them ، They will be wiped out from the last of them ، Two men remain among them, whom Gabriel (peace be upon him) will meet. ، He turns their faces towards their backs ، It's as if I'm looking at them walking backwards ، They tell people what they found,” he said
