کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

If an army collapses in Al-Bayda, it is a sign of the emergence of the Mahdi

The Mahdi will not emerge until the sun appears with a sign

The sign of the Mahdi’s emergence is banners coming from Morocco, bearing a lame man from Kinda

The Sufyani and the Mahdi will emerge as betting horses, so the Sufyani will prevail over what follows him, and the Mahdi over what follows him.

During the rule of Sufyani II, you see a sign in the sky

The Mahdi will not emerge until the Sufyani rises on its pillars

The Sufyani will not emerge until the darkness is cleared

The Mahdi will not emerge until he denies Allah openly

Damrah told us, on the authority of Ibn Shawdhab, on the authority of Ibn Sirin, who said: The Mahdi will not emerge until he kills seven out of every nine.

The Mahdi will not emerge until a third is killed, a third dies, and a third remains

The Mahdi will not come out until some of you spit in each other's faces

The sign of the Mahdi’s exit is that if the army of Al-Baida is eclipsed, it is a sign of the Mahdi’s exit

People gathered around the Mahdi in the year two hundred and four

The sign of the Mahdi is when the Turks descend upon you, and your caliph who collects money dies, and a weak person is appointed as his successor, and he is deposed two years after his pledge of allegiance, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and the departure of three people from the Levant, and the departure of the people of the Maghreb to Egypt, and that is the leadership of the Sufyani.

And I reported on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Salem bin Abdullah, on the authority of Abu Muhammad, on the authority of a man, from the people of Morocco, who said: “The Mahdi will not come out until a man brings out a beautiful, beautiful slave girl and says: Who will buy this for food by her weight? Then the Mahdi will come out.”

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “If a caller calls from the sky: The truth is in the family of Muhammad, then the Mahdi will appear on the people’s lips, and they will drink his love, and they will have no mention of anyone else.”

There will be temptations, then there will be a group headed by a man from my family, who has no share with Allah, and he will be killed or die, and then the Mahdi will arise.

Damra told us, on the authority of Ibn Shawdhab, on the authority of some of his companions, who said: “The Mahdi will not emerge until there is no Qayyil left, nor will Ibn Qayyal remain unless he perishes, and it is said: the head.”

A man from the Banu Hashim reigns and kills the Umayyads until only a few of them remain, and no one else is killed. Then a man from the Umayyads emerges and kills two for each man, until only the women remain. Then the Mahdi emerges.

The Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold and silver, and seven out of every nine will be killed for it. If you reach it, do not approach it.

The fourth sedition lasts for twelve years, and it will clear up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded from a mountain of gold, so seven out of every nine will be killed on it.

There will be a large community in the Euphrates region in the Levant region, or a little after it, and they will fight over money, and seven out of every nine will be killed, and that will happen after the guidance and failure in the month of Ramadan, and after the separation of three banners, each one of them will seek kingship for himself, and among them is a man named Abdullah.

The fourth trial lasts eighteen years, then it clears up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded, creating a mountain of gold upon which the nation will fall, and seven out of every nine will be killed.
