کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “There are three trials that will occur in the Levant: the trial of bloodshed, the trial of severing ties of kinship and the plundering of money, then followed by the trial of the Maghreb, which is blindness.”

Sedition will still stagnate as long as it does not start from the Levant

The West is blind

Abdul Quddus and Amr bin Al-Harith told us, they said: Abdullah bin Salem Al-Homsi told us, on the authority of Ali bin Abi Talha, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “Allah Almighty created the world in the position of a bird, so He made the two wings the east and the west, and He made the head the Levant, and He made the top of the head hummus, and in it is the beak, and if the beak decreases, the people disagree, and He made the neck Damascus, and in it is the heart, so if the heart moves, the body moves, and the head has two blows: a blow from the wing.” The eastern wing is on Damascus, and a blow is from the western wing and it is on Homs, and it is the heaviest of them. Then the head approaches the wings and plucks them out, feather by feather.”

The head of the earth is the Levant, its wings are Egypt and Iraq, the tails are the Hijaz, and the goshawks are skinned on the tails.

The people still have a period of time until the head knocks, and if the head knocks, the people will perish, and the Levant will be devastated

The earth will be destroyed forty years before the Levant
