Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

If one man rules the Levant and the other reigns Egypt, and the Levant and the Egyptian fight, and the people of the Levant take captive tribes from Egypt, and a man from the East comes with small black banners before the ruler of the Levant, then he is the one who will lead obedience to the Mahdi.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “When the millstone of Banu Abbas has turned, and the owners of the black banners tie their horses to the olive trees of the Levant, and Allah destroys for them the red-haired man, and kills him and all of his household at their hands, until there is no Umayyad among them left except one who flees or disappears, and the two palms fall: Banu Ja’far and Banu Abbas, and the son of the liver-eater sits on the pulpit of Damascus, and the Berbers go out to The navel of Syria is the sign of the emergence of the Mahdi.”

The leaders of the Mahdi are the best of people. The people who supported him and pledged allegiance to him were from the people of Kufan ​​and Yemen, and the Abdal of the Levant. His leader was Gabriel, and his leader was Michael. He is beloved among creation. Allah Almighty will extinguish blind strife, and the earth will be secure, so much so that a woman will perform Hajj with five women who do not have a man with her. She does not fear anything except Allah. She gives the earth her alms, and the sky her blessing.

He was called the Mahdi because he guides to books from the books of the Torah, extracts them from the mountains of the Levant, invites the Jews to them, and greets a large group of people to those books. Then he mentioned about thirty thousand people.

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “The people of Yemen are fighting fiercely in Mesopotamia ، Allah will defeat him and those with him ، The people of the East and those with him are terrified only by the dead floating on the river ، They know of their defeat ، Their rider heads to Yemen as they descend between the two rivers ، Then Allah Almighty and those with him will appear ، And people's affairs will be fixed ، Their words come together happily ، Then they walk until they reach the Levant ، They stay for a period of time in a righteous state ، Then Qais revolts against them ، The people of Yemen kill them until anyone thinks that there is no Qais left ، Then a man from the people of Yemen rises and says: Allah, Allah, for your brothers ، Allah and the rest ، Then Qays went with those who remained of it until they came down between the two rivers ، They gather a great crowd ، They will be put in charge of a man from Banu Makhzum ، Then the governor of Yemen dies ، Qais rejoices at his death ، The Makhzoumi continued until the last of them crossed the Euphrates, and the Makhzoumi died ، Yemen will become separate ، Measure separately ، Then the loyalists get angry, and they are the majority of people on that day ، They say: Come, let us appoint a man from the people of religion to me ، They will send a group of people from Yemen ، And a bunch of harmful ، And a group of people who are loyal to Jerusalem ، They recite the Book of Allah Almighty and ask Him for good ، Then those people return, having appointed a man from among the loyalists as their guardian ، So woe to the people in the Levant and its land due to his guardianship ، He goes to Mudar and wants to fight them ، Then a man from Morocco walks ، A tall, powerful man with broad shoulders ، He kills whoever he meets until he enters the Holy House ، Then the animal hits him ، He dies a death ، So the world will be as evil as it was ، Then after him comes a man from Mudar ، He kills righteous people ، Ominous cursed ، Then after him comes Al-Madari Al-Omani Al-Qahtani ، He follows the path of his brother Mahdi ، And at his hands the city of Rum will be conquered.” Abu Abdullah Naeem said: He emerges from a village called Yakli, behind Sana’a, at a stage. ، His father is Qureshi ، His mother is Yemeni

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.”
