کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

The Banu Umayyads reigned for a hundred years, and the Banu Marwan had sixty-odd years of that. Their dominion will not go until they take it away with their own hands. They want to block it but they cannot do it. Every time they block it on one side, it collapses on the other. They begin with a mim and end with a mim. Their dominion will not go until a caliph of theirs is deposed and he is killed, and his lambs are killed, and the red-haired donkey of the peninsula kills Marwan, then their dominion is cut off and the wreaths are torn down at his hands.

There will be a strife in the Levant in which blood will be shed, family ties will be severed, and money will be wasted, then the East will follow

After his death, there will be a man who will carry out a woman’s pregnancy and wean her child, and another will rule, and nothing will exist until he dies. Then a man will come who comes from Taima, and his time has come. He and his child will be fifty years old.

I find in the Torah twelve kings, the first of whom is Siddiq, then Al-Farouq, then Al-Amin, then the head of kings, then the owner of the guards, then Jabbar, then the owner of the clan, and he is the last of the kings to die, then the owner of the sign will die, and as for the tribulations, they will come when the son of the one who destroys the gold is killed, then calamity will prevail and prosperity will be lifted, and at that time there will be four kings from the family of the owner of the sign, two kings who do not read a book, and a king who dies in his bed and stays for a short time. And an angel will come from the land of Jawf. On his hands will be calamity, and on his hands wreaths will be broken. He will reside in Homs for twenty-one hundred mornings. Fear will come to him from his land and he will depart from it. So calamity will fall on Jawf, and calamity will fall among them, then their affairs will be cut off, and he will come from another family and overwhelm them.
