کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Every nation has a scourge, and the scourge of this nation is the Umayyads

Everything has a scourge that spoils it, and the scourge of this religion is the Umayyads

When the Umayyads reached forty, they took the servants of Allah as horses, Allah’s wealth as trees, and the Book of Allah as jungle.

The people of my household will be severely killed by my nation after me, and the people who hate us the most are the Banu Umayyah and the Banu Mughirah from the Banu Makhzum.

Hush me until I die? Banu Umayyad, Thaqif, and Banu Hanafiya

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Sulaiman Al-Ahwal, on the authority of Mujahid, on the authority of Tabi’, who said: “Four of the Umayyad tribe are ruled by a man’s lineage: Suleiman bin Abdul Malik, Hisham, Yazid, and Al-Walid.”

Perhaps you are the bravest of the Umayyads

After Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), there will be twelve kings from the Umayyads, or even kings

I advise you to stay in your homes, for this matter will happen to a man from the Umayyads who will follow you for twenty-two years, then he will die, and then after him will be followed by caliphs who will succeed each other for a few years, until a man with his mark in his eye will follow you, meaning Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, who collects money in a way that no one had collected before him, who lives for nineteen years and something, then dies, then a man among them will follow you, a young man who will give people gifts that no one before him had given him, then a man from his household will attack him. It was hidden and he was not mentioned, so he kills him and blood spills on his hands, then he comes to you heading from here, and he pointed to the island.
