کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

What did you see? To tell me, what did you give me? It is as you mentioned

There will be a trial in the Levant in which their women and nobles will rise, then only a few will come to it until their fools and lowlifes rise up in it until they enslave their women as they used to enslave them before that.

I wished that every pearl on the face of the earth had become tar. People do not stop until they take sheep, milk them, and compete over them, until when they become numerous, they leave the cities, communities, and mosques, and flock to them. Allah has not sent a prophet, nor appointed a caliphate, nor a king except among the people of the villages and the civilization, and they did not aspire to place them among the people of the pillars or the Bedouins, so if Allah sees their desire for the groups and mosques, Allah will send to them what their right hands possess. People who speak to them in Arabic, and beat them with the Musharrafiyya until they return to the congregation and the mosques. Do not take too much captivity of the Persians. If I were to control the captives in your hands, I would kill nine out of every ten. And look at the remaining ten, then exile them to Wadi Al-Shajar, or Wadi Al-Arj, or Wadi Al-Junir. By Allah, if they remain yours, He will make life easier for you.

Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Najih al-Qurashi, on the authority of Abu al-Zahiriyya, who said: “How will you be if the people of your desert enter and share with you your wealth? Do not refrain from them until someone says: ‘You have been blessed for so long while we have been in misery.’”

You will not continue to be well as long as your Bedouins dispense with you, and you will not cease to be well as long as you find a back to bear

Ibn Ayyash said, and Al-Azhar bin Rashid told me, on the authority of Abu Al-Zahiriyya, he said: “There are no people among your people who are more severe for you in these afflictions than the people of the East who have salt and lotion. A woman from among their wives would stab her finger in the stomach of a Muslim woman and say: ‘Jizana’,” gloating over her, saying: “Give the jizyah.”

Ibn Ayyash said: Dawud bin Abd al-Rahman told me, on the authority of Qais bin Asim al-Thaqafi, on the authority of Ibn al-Musayyab, he said: I said: If you went out and wandered with your people? He said: Allah forbid that I abandon the twenty-five and one hundred prayers for five prayers. Then Saeed said: I heard Ka’b al-Ahbar say: “I wish this milk were tar.” It was said: Why that? He said: The Quraysh followed the tails of camels into the paths, and Satan is with the one, and he is further away from the two.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ narrated to us, on the authority of Katheer bin Murrah, on the authority of Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) what he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “You will never cease to be well as long as the people of your Bedouins do not need the people of your presence. So when they come to you, you will not be deterred from them because of the large number of people pouring on you. They say: ‘We were hungry and you were full, and we were miserable and you were blessed, so comfort us today.’”

You will enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, or Allah will send foreigners upon you, and they will behead you, and they will eat your spoils, and they will be a lion that will not flee.

There is nothing that is not indicative of it, even the nook has a state on the bag

There is nothing that is not indicative of it, to the point that the Nouks will have a state, and even the idiots who rule will have a state

Everything has a state that affects it. The supervising vagabonds will have a state, then the vagabonds and the lowly people will have a state at the end of time, until some of the most noble people will come to them. If that is the case, then Freud is the Dajjal. Then comes the Hour, and the Hour is worse and more bitter.

Her choice is gone

One of the signs of the Hour is that the good people will be humbled, the bad people will be exalted, and their hypocrites will prevail over every people

The Hour will not come until someone who does not weigh a horn of hair rises against the people on the Day of Resurrection

How can people be sifted for so long, and only scum will remain, so if that is the case, then take what you know, abandon what you deny, and accept the affairs of your own, and abandon the affairs of the common people.

Baqiyya told us, on the authority of Safwan bin Amr, on the authority of someone who heard Abdullah bin Qais, he said: “We used to hear that it was said: How are you when you see twenty men or more and do not see among them a man who fears Allah?”

Because I fear for my nation regarding milk, I fear for them regarding wine. They love milk, so they distance themselves from the groups and waste them

One of the signs of the Hour is that someone who does not deserve to rule will rule, and the lowly will be exalted and the high will be humbled

If you see the Arabs being negligent in the matter of the Quraysh, then you see the followers being negligent in the matter of the Arabs, then you see the Muslim lands being negligent in the matter of the Quraysh, then the signs of the Hour have overtaken you.
