Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid al-Tanukhi, on the authority of al-Zuhri, who said: “If the black flags differ among themselves, the yellow flags come to them, and they gather in the bridge of the people of Egypt, and the people of the East and the people of the West fight seven times, and then the attack will be on the people of the East until they descend on Ramla, and something will happen between the people of the Levant and the people of the West, and the people of the West will become angry and say: We have come to support you, and then you will do what they do? between you and the people of the East, and they will plunder you, due to the scarcity of the people of the Levant on that day in their eyes. Then the Sufyani will emerge, and the people of the Levant will follow him, and he will fight the people of the East.”

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.”

If their words differed, and the century of healing rose, they would only remain for a short time until the spotted man appeared in Egypt, killing people until they reached Iram, then the deformed one would revolt against him, and there would be a great battle between them, then the cursed Sufyani would appear and defeat them all, and before that he would raise twelve well-known flags in Kufa, and a man from the descendants of Hussein who would call for his father would be killed in Kufa, then the Sufyani would send out his armies.

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali, who said: “If the owners of the black banners disagree, one of the villages of Iram will be eclipsed, and the western side of its mosque will fall, then three banners will emerge in the Levant: the reddish, the spotted, and the Sufyani. The Sufyani will emerge from the Levant, and the spotted from Egypt, and the Sufyani will appear over them.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, who said: “The people disagree in Safar, and the people separate into four groups: a man in Mecca who is seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant, one of whom is Sufyani and the other is from the progeny of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt who is a mighty man, so those are four.”

Ibn Lahi’ah said, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali, he said: “Three flags will emerge in the Levant: the red-haired, the spotted, and the Sufyani. The Sufyani will emerge from the Levant, and the spotted one will emerge from Egypt, and the Sufyani will appear over them.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, he said: “The people differed in Safar, and separated into four groups: a man in Mecca who was seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant: one of them was the Sufyani, the other was from the birth of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt, a tyrant. So those are four. Then a man from Kindah gets angry and goes out to those in the Levant. To the one in Mecca.”

If the Sufyani enters the land of Egypt, he will stay there for four months, killing and taking its people captive, and on that day the wailing women will stand up, weeping, crying over the permissibility of her private parts, crying, crying over the killing of her children, crying, crying over her humiliation after her glory, and crying, crying longing for her graves.

If the Sufyani appears on the Aqaba and enters Egypt, then Egypt will be ruined

Al-Sufyani spreads his soldiers across the horizons after entering Kufa and Baghdad, and his branch from across the river reaches him from the people of Khorasan, and the people of the East attack them and kill their unclean things. When he hears that, he sends a great army to Istakhr, against whom is a man from the Umayyads, and they will have an attack in Qums, an attack in Dawlat al-Ray, and an attack on the borders of Zaranj. Then, the Sufyani orders the killing of the people of Kufa and the people of Medina, and at that point The black flags will come from Khorasan, and over all the people will be a young man from Banu Hashim, with his right hand empty. May Allah make his affairs and his path easy. Then there will be an encounter with him on the borders of Khorasan, and Al-Hashemi will go on the road to irrigation, and a man from Banu Tamim from the loyalists called Shuaib bin Saleh will be sent to Istakhar to the Umayyad. He, the Mahdi, and Al-Hashemi will meet in the white area of Istakhr, and there will be a great battle between them. A man from Bani Uday will be upon them, so Allah will appear. His supporters and soldiers, then there will be an attack in al-Mada'in after the two attacks of Rayy, and in Aqarqufa there is an attack in Saylimiyya, about which every survivor will report. Then after that there will be a great slaughter in Babylon, and an attack in a land of the land of Nisibis. Then, in particular, a group of people from among their ranks, namely the Asab, mostly from Kufa and Basra, will emerge in order to rescue the Kufan captives in their hands.

When Al-Sufyani reached the one in Egypt, he would send an army to the one in Mecca, and they would destroy Medina more severely than Al-Harrah, until when they reached Al-Bayda, they would be eclipsed.

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.

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.”
