Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

By Allah, I wish that no tower would be built without a tower falling, and I say that, but a turmoil descended from the sky, with only a span between us and it falling, and if the construction of this mosque had been completed, it would have occurred. And that was when this Sheikh Othman bin Affan was killed, yes, a hundred thousand or more. Then killing would occur between Aden and Abyan to the paths of the Romans, and an army would emerge from the west, and an army would emerge from the east, and they would meet in a land called Siffin, and there would be a great battle between them, and then they would not separate except About two rulings

Al-Sufyani enters Kufa and takes it captive for three days, and kills sixty thousand of its people. Then he stays there for eighteen nights, dividing its wealth. He enters Kufa after fighting the Turks and Romans in Qirqisa. Then he splits a gap on them from behind them, and a group of them returns to Khurasan. He kills the horses of Al-Sufyani and demolishes the forts until he enters Kufa. He seeks the people of Khurasan, and a people calling for the Mahdi will appear in Khurasan. Then he sends Al-Sufyani to Medina. Then he takes a group of people from the family of Muhammad until he returns them to Kufa, then Al-Mahdi and Mansour leave Kufa on the run, and Al-Sufyani sends in search of them. When Al-Mahdi and Mansour reach Mecca, the Sufyani’s army descends on Al-Bayda and overwhelms them. Then Al-Mahdi goes out until he passes through Medina and rescues those who were in it from Bani Hashim. The black flags come forward until they descend on the water, and the Sufyani’s companions in Kufa inform of their landing and they flee, then he descends on Kufa to rescue those in it from Bani Hashim, and a people called the Asab emerge from the black of Kufa. They have no weapons except a few, and among them is a group of the people of Basra. They overtake the companions of the Sufyani and rescue what is in their hands from the captives of Kufa, and the black banners send out the pledge of allegiance to the Mahdi.

I have heard that the Mahdi will stay for fourteen years in Jerusalem, then he will die, and then after him he will be of honorable mention from the people of Tabi’. He is called Mansour in Jerusalem. Twenty-one years, fifteen of which are justice, three years of oppression, and three years of which are deprivation of property. No one is given a dirham. The people of the Dhimma are divided among those who fight him. He is the one who exiles the loyal ones to the depths of the depths. He is the one who tramples the son of Ishmael like the rarest cow is trampled upon. A prophet, and his nickname is the nickname of a prophet. He goes to him from the depths until he meets a victor in the depths of Jericho, and he fights him and kills him. Then the Lord reigns and banishes the sons of Qahtan and the sons of Ismail, to the two cities of Kanz al-Arab, Medina and Sana’a. He is the one who will expel the Turks and the Romans at his hands until they rule from the depths of Antioch to Mount Carmel in Palestine in the meadow of the city of Acre. The Lord reigns for three years, then he is killed, and after him Haim the Second Mahdi will reign. Who kills the Romans and defeats them, and conquers Constantinople, and resides there for three years, four months and ten days, then Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), descends and the kingdom is handed over to him.

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.

Far from, far from, by the One in whose hand is my soul, O Hudhayfah, write it down to six qualities. The first of them is my death, then the Holy House will be conquered, then after that there will be a strife in which two great factions will fight, in which there will be a lot of killing, and a lot of chaos in them. Their call is the same, then death will be imposed upon you and it will kill you in a lump just as sheep die, then money will increase and it will overflow until a man is called for a hundred dinars and he refuses to take it, then a boy will arise among the children of the yellow people. Their kings

O brother of the people of the Levant, the Romans will expel you from the Levant, and the Roman cavalry will stand on this mountain, which on that day will be on Mount Sila, and let the people of Medina be captured captive, and then Allah will send down His victory upon them.

Jarrah said ، About Artaat ، “The first epic, according to Daniel, takes place in Alexandria ، They leave with their ships, and the people of Egypt seek help from the people of the Levant ، They meet and fight fiercely ، The Muslims defeat the Romans after intense effort ، Then they will camp on it and gather a great crowd ، Then they come and go to Jaffa, Palestine ، Ten miles ، Its people and their descendants take shelter in the mountains ، The Muslims will meet them and defeat them ، And they kill their king ، The second epic: After their defeat, they gather a greater gathering than their first gathering ، Then they would come and camp in Akka ، Their king, the son of the murdered person, perished ، The Muslims will meet in Acre ، Victory will be withheld from the Muslims for forty days ، The people of the Levant seek help from the people of the cities ، They are slow in their victory ، On that day, there will not remain a free polytheist nor a Christian slave except the Romans ، A third of the people of the Levant flee ، A third are killed ، Then Allah would grant victory to the rest, and they would defeat the Romans with a defeat the likes of which had never been heard of ، And they kill their king ، The third epic: Those who returned at sea return ، Those who fled on land will join them ، And they own the son of their murdered king ، When he was young, he did not have a wet dream ، It spreads affection for him in their hearts ، He accepts what their first two kings did not accept in terms of number ، They descend to the depths of Antioch ، The Muslims gather and camp in front of them ، They will fight for two months ، Then Allah will grant victory to the Muslims and they will defeat the Romans ، And they are killed while they are running away on the road ، Then aid will come to them ، They stand in support of the Muslims ، Then a campaign would occur against them and they would kill them and their king ، The rest of them are defeated ، The immigrants seek them and kill them horribly ، Then the cross will be invalidated ، The Romans departed to the nations behind them, from Andalusia ، They kill them until they go down the paths ، The immigrants are divided into two halves ، So half walks on land toward the path ، The other half ride in the sea ، The migrants who are on land and those on the path will meet their enemy ، Then Allah will give them victory over their enemy and defeat them with a defeat greater than the previous defeats ، They direct the good news to their brothers at sea ، Your appointment is the city ، So Allah will guide them in the best way until they descend on the city and storm it and destroy it ، Then after that there will be Andalusia and nations ، They will gather and come to the Levant, and the Muslims will meet them, and Allah Almighty will defeat them.”

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.

Yes, the Romans' lions will beat in the alleys of Elijah, yes, until they will not have a path from the countryside. If Allah wills, He will reveal it. Then Allah will defeat them, and they will march on, and no one will stop them. And the mules will rise on that day to a burden the likes of which they have never raised, and they will never rise again, until they reach Medina, and the day has gone with a group from it, and a group will remain and they will conquer it, and each people will take on their side.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, until they destroy the Romans all together, and only an informer escapes. Then they set off for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay with Batha. Then they open it with the takbir. They say the takbir, and one of its walls falls. Then they say the takbir another, and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek protection from Rome and open it with the takbir, and on that day they will sway their spoils. Enough of deceit
