کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

The fourth sedition started from Raqqa

A man emerges from the East, and their king is repulsed by him. He is killed between Raqqa and Haran. A man from the Quraish kills him. A man from the West, from the family of Abu Sufyan, emerges from the wilderness and kills the king of Kufa at Haran.

A man from the descendants of Abbas descends on Raqqa, stays there for two years, then invades the Romans, and his calamity for the Muslims will be greater than his calamity for the Romans. Then he returns from the expedition to Raqqa, and something he hates comes from the East, so he returns to the East, but does not return from it, then he appoints his son as governor, and upon his head will be the departure of the Sufyani and the cessation of their kingdom.
