Al-Sufyani brings out three reeds in his hand, and he does not knock anyone with them unless he dies

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam, on the authority of his sheikhs, who said: “The Sufyani is brought in his dream and it is said to him: Get up and go out. He gets up and does not find anyone. Then he comes the second time and is told the same thing. Then he is told a third time: Get up and go out. Look who is at the door of your house. The third time he descends to the door of his house and finds him with seven or nine people and a banner with them. They say: We are your companions. So he goes out and people follow him.” From Qurayyat Wadi al-Yabis, the ruler of Damascus would go out to meet him and fight him, and when he saw his banner, he would be defeated, and he would be the governor of Damascus on that day, nor of Banu Abbas.”
