کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Mahdi will pledge allegiance to seven scholarly men who went to Mecca from different parts of the world without an appointment. Three hundred and twelve men have pledged allegiance to each of them. They gather in Mecca and pledge allegiance to him, and Allah pours His love into the hearts of the people. He leads them along, and he turns to those who pledged allegiance to the horses of the Sufyani. On them is a man of crime. When he leaves Mecca behind his companions and walks in a loincloth and robe until the crime comes, he pledges allegiance to him, and a dog will regret his pledge of allegiance. Then he will come to him and pledge allegiance to him and he will dismiss him, then he will mobilize his armies to fight him and defeat him, and Allah will defeat the Romans at his hands, and Allah will remove the temptations at his hands and descend on the Levant.
