کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id bin Al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, who said: “Then people will disagree over four groups: two men in the Levant, a man from the Al-Hakam family who is blue and red-haired, a man from Mudar, short and mighty, Al-Sufyani, and Al-A’idhi in Mecca, so that is four groups.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, who said: “The people disagree in Safar, and the people separate into four groups: a man in Mecca who is seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant, one of whom is Sufyani and the other is from the progeny of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt who is a mighty man, so those are four.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, he said: “The people differed in Safar, and separated into four groups: a man in Mecca who was seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant: one of them was the Sufyani, the other was from the birth of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt, a tyrant. So those are four. Then a man from Kindah gets angry and goes out to those in the Levant. To the one in Mecca.”
