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 Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “When the black banners defeat the horses of the Sufyani, which contains Shuaib bin Saleh, the people will wish for the Mahdi, and they will search for him, and he will leave Mecca with the banner of the Prophet ﷺ, and he will pray two rak’ahs after the people despaired of his exit due to the affliction that befell them, and when he finished his prayer, he departed, and he said: O people, the affliction has befallen the nation of Muhammad ﷺ, and his family in particular, oppressing us and oppressing us.”

Three members of the Quraish will go to Mecca from the Sufyani army, and they will be looked at. When the eclipse reaches them, they will gather in Mecca to those three people from the country, and one of them will pledge allegiance unwillingly.

Abu Omar told us ، On the authority of Ibn Lahia ، On the authority of Abdul Wahab bin Hussein ، On the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit ، On the authority of his father ، About Al-Harith ، On the authority of Abdullah bin Masoud ، (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “If trade and roads are cut off ، And temptations abounded ، Seven scholars emerged from various horizons ، On time ، Three hundred and fifteen men pledge allegiance to each man ، Until they meet in Mecca ، The seven meet ، So they say to each other: What has brought you here? They say: We have come in search of this man, at whose hands these temptations must subside ، And Constantinople opens to him ، We have known him by his name, the name of his father and mother, and his name ، The seven agree on that ، They search for him and find him in Mecca ، They say to him: Are you so-and-so, son of so-and-so? He says: No ، Rather, I am a man from the Ansar ، Until he escapes from them ، They describe it to people with experience and knowledge of it ، It is said: He is your friend whom you are looking for ، He caught up with the city ، They asked him to go to Medina and he went to Mecca ، They search for him in Mecca and find him ، They say: You are so-and-so, son of so-and-so ، Your mother is so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so ، And you have such-and-such verse ، He got away from us once ، So extend your hand so we can pledge allegiance to you? He says: I am not your friend ، I am so-and-so bin so-and-so Al-Ansari ، Go through us and I will guide you to your friend ، Until he escapes from them ، They asked him to go to Medina and he went to Mecca ، They hit him in Mecca at the corner ، They say: Our sin is on you ، And our blood will be on your neck if you do not extend your hand to pledge allegiance to us ، This Lashkar Al-Sufyani has directed us at our request ، They have a man of crime ، He sits between the corner and the shrine ، He extends his hand and pledges allegiance to him ، Allah pours His love into the hearts of people ، He walks with Asad's people during the day ، "Monks at night"
