کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Allah Almighty gave Ishmael, peace be upon him, twelve leaders from his blood, the best and best of them being Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Omar ibn al-Khattab, and Uthman Dhul-Nour, who is killed unjustly and is given his reward twice, and the king of the Levant and his son, and al-Saffah, and Mansour, and Sin and Salam, meaning goodness and well-being.

This matter will take place in Medina, then in the Levant, then in the Peninsula, then in Iraq, then in Medina, then in Bayt al-Maqdis. If it is in Bayt al-Maqdis, then it is the home of its home, and it does not leave a people and return to them.

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir, he said: I was informed that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Prophecy was revealed to me in three places: Mecca, Medina, and the Levant, and if I left one of them, I would not return to it until the Day of Resurrection.”
