Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

I swear

O people of Egypt, do not take revenge on me. By Allah, I have increased your number, increased your support, and strengthened you over your enemy. Know that I am better than those who come after me, and the last one is evil.

Ibn Aliya told us, on the authority of Ibn Aoun, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sirin, on the authority of Uqba ibn Aws Al-Sadusi, he said: Abdullah ibn Amr said: “Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, you have corrected his name. Omar Al-Farouq is a horn of iron. You have corrected his name. Ibn Affan Dhul-Nour was killed unjustly. He was given two guarantees of mercy. The king of the Holy Land: Muawiyah and his son.” They said: Don’t you remember Hassan? Don’t you mention Hussein? He said: So he repeated the same words, until he reached Muawiyah and his son, and added: “Al-Saffah, Salam, Mansur, Jabir, Al-Amin, and the Emir of Al-Asab are all of them. The like of him is not seen, nor is the like of him recognized. They are all from Banu Ka’b bin Luay. Among them is a man from Qahtan. Some of them are only two days old. Among them is someone who is told: ‘Pledge allegiance to us or we will kill you. If he does not pledge allegiance to them, they will kill him.’” Abu Bakr bin Abdullah bin Ahmed bin Raidah told us, Abu al-Qasim Suleiman bin Ahmad bin Ayyub al-Tabarani said: Abu Zaid Abd al-Rahman bin Hatim al-Muradi told us in Egypt in the year two hundred and eighty. Nu`aym bin Hammad told us.

I am fighting for what is right so that it may arise, but it will not arise and the matter is up to them

If the people have a cross-haired caliph, then if you are able to leave Egypt to the Levant, then do so, and that is before the caliphate of Hisham.

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Masar, on the authority of Aoun bin Abdullah, he said: “While a man was in Egypt during the turmoil of Ibn al-Zubayr, he was making fun of the ground when a man stood up to him and said to him: What are you talking to yourself about, in this world? He said: Rather, think about what has befallen the people, for I am interested in it. He said: Allah has saved you from it because of your thought about it. Who is the one who asked Allah and He did not give it, or relied on Him and He was not sufficient for it?”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Yazid bin Abi Habib, he said: It was said: “If the people are over a caliph who is cross-eyed, then if you are able to leave Egypt to the Levant, then do so.” He said: This was before the caliphate of Hisham.

After them will come the owners of the black banners, and their command and duration will prolong until the pledge of allegiance to two of them is given. When they come together, they disagree among themselves, and their disagreement will prolong until three banners are raised in the Levant, and if they are raised, this is the reason for the interruption of their term. If it is read in Egypt from Abdullah Abdullah, the Commander of the Faithful, it is not long before another letter is read to them from Abdullah Abd al-Rahman, the Commander of the Faithful, and he is the ruler of the Maghreb, and he is worse than a king, and they are ruining Egypt and the Levant. If their command in the Levant intensifies, the black banners and the companions of The three banners and those in them from the Maghreb against the people of the Maghreb, so they all gather against them and fight them, so the people of the three banners will prevail, and the Berbers will be cut off. Then they will fight the owners of the black banners until their order will be cut off.

Iraq will soon be in a state of war, the Levant will be torn to pieces, and Egypt will be scattered and the wasteland will be destroyed, then the matter will come down.

The last sign of the demise of the rule of the Banu Abbas are three kings among them who succeed one another. Their names are the names of the prophets. They will not exceed them after these kings. The duration of the Banu Abbas among these three kings is forty years. If you see differences among them, and a group of Banu Hashim gathered between the two rivers, and the mandate of a man from the Banu Abbas towards the west, and the clashing of the black flags, and zeroing in the navel of the Levant, and the killing of the governor of Egypt, and the prevention of its tax, then it is a sign of the interruption of their period.

When Al-Abbas reaches Khorasan, the Qarn of Shafa will rise in the East, and the first thing that will appear was with the destruction of Noah’s people when Allah drowned them, and it will rise in the time of Abraham (peace be upon him) when they threw him into the fire, and when Allah destroyed Pharaoh and those with him, and when Yahya bin Zakariya was killed, so if you see that, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of temptations, and it will rise after the eclipse of the sun and moon, and then they will not wait until the spotted man appears in Egypt.

The head of the earth is the Levant, its wings are Egypt and Iraq, the tails are the Hijaz, and the goshawks are skinned on the tails.

Basra and Egypt are the two wings of the earth, and if they are destroyed, the matter will happen

The world was represented on a bird. Basra and Egypt are two wings, and if they are destroyed, the matter will happen

To inform me that a man from my brothers has taken up residence in Mount Hebron, and I envy him because the people of Egypt will descend upon him, either blocking their Nile, or extending it and drowning until they move Mount Hebron between them with ropes.

The first devastation will be in Egypt and Iraq, and when the construction reaches Sila, you must, O Abu Dharr, in the Levant, coordinate with them, wherever they lead you.

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Masar, on the authority of Aoun bin Abdullah, he said: “While a man was in Egypt during the turmoil of Ibn al-Zubayr, he was making fun of the ground when a man stood up to him and said to him: What are you talking to yourself, father of the world? He said: Rather, do you think about what has befallen the people? He said: Allah has saved you from it by thinking about it, from the one who asked Allah and He did not give it, or relied on Him and He was not sufficient for it.”

Muhammad bin Himyar told us, on the authority of Al-Saqr bin Rustam, he said: Al-Alaa bin Suleiman told me, he said: I heard Abu Qabil say: “If you hear, or, if you come, this pulpit, meaning the pulpit of Egypt, and it reads to Abdullah: Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then you are about to hear Abdullah: Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful.”

Muhammad bin Abdullah told us, on the authority of Abd al-Salam bin Maslama, he heard Abu Qabil say: “If it was recited on the pulpit of Egypt: From Abdullah Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, it would only take a short time until it was recited: From Abdullah Abd al-Rahman, Commander of the Faithful, and he is the ruler of the Maghreb, and he is worse than a king.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah Al-Amri, on the authority of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to a people from the people of Egypt: “If a letter comes to you from the East reading to you: From Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then wait for another letter to come to you from the West, reading to you: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful. By the One in whose hand is Hudhayfah’s soul, you and they will fight at the bridge, and he will expel you from the land of Egypt and the land of The Levant is blasphemy, blasphemy, and the Arab woman will be sold on the steps of Damascus for twenty-five dirhams.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Salamah bin Khalid Al-Yazani, on the authority of Abu Saba Utbah bin Tamim Al-Tanukhi, who said: “Kingdom belongs to the Abbasids until a letter read in Egypt reaches you: From Abdullah Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful. If that is the beginning of the demise of their kingdom and the end of their term.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If a man from the Abbasids called Abdullah reigns, and he is the one with the Eye of the Hereafter among them, with it they open it and with it they seal it, then he is the key to the sword of annihilation. If a letter is read for him in the Levant: From Abdullah Abdullah Commander of the Faithful, you will soon be informed of a letter that has been read on the pulpit of Egypt: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman Commander of the Faithful. If that happens, the people of the East and the people of the West will rush to the Levant as a betting horse, seeing that the kingship will not be fulfilled. Except for those who control the Levant, everyone says: Whoever conquers it has captured the kingdom.”

If the yellow flags enter Egypt and gather in the bridge, wait until the people of the East and the people of the West mount an army and fight with it seven times, and there will be as much blood between them as there was in all the strife, and then the people of the East will be defeated until they put them down at Ramla.

If Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman comes to you from Morocco, you and they will fight at the bridge, and there will be seventy thousand dead among you, and they will expel you from the land of Egypt and the land of the Levant in blasphemy, and they will sell the Arab woman on the steps of Damascus for twenty-five dirhams. Then they will enter the land of Homs and stay for eighteen months, in which they will divide the money, and kill the male and female. Then an evil man will emerge against them from the canopy of the sky, and he will kill them and defeat them, until... He brings them into the land of Egypt

If the people of Morocco enter the land of Egypt and stay in such-and-such, they will kill and take captive its people. On that day, the wailing women will stand up, crying over the loss of their private parts, crying over their humiliation after their glory, crying over their children, crying over the killing of their men, and crying over the longing for their graves.
