کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Mahdi dies a death, then the people will follow him after him, a man from his family in whom there is good and evil, and his evil is greater than his good. He angers the people, calls them to disunity after the group, his survival is short, a man from his family revolts against him and kills him, and the people after him fight intensely, and the one who killed him after him remains for a short time, then he dies a death, then a man from Mudar from the east follows them, he makes the people infidels, and expels them from their religion, the people of Yemen fight fiercely in Mesopotamia. Allah will defeat him and those with him

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “The people of Yemen are fighting fiercely in Mesopotamia ، Allah will defeat him and those with him ، The people of the East and those with him are terrified only by the dead floating on the river ، They know of their defeat ، Their rider heads to Yemen as they descend between the two rivers ، Then Allah Almighty and those with him will appear ، And people's affairs will be fixed ، Their words come together happily ، Then they walk until they reach the Levant ، They stay for a period of time in a righteous state ، Then Qais revolts against them ، The people of Yemen kill them until anyone thinks that there is no Qais left ، Then a man from the people of Yemen rises and says: Allah, Allah, for your brothers ، Allah and the rest ، Then Qays went with those who remained of it until they came down between the two rivers ، They gather a great crowd ، They will be put in charge of a man from Banu Makhzum ، Then the governor of Yemen dies ، Qais rejoices at his death ، The Makhzoumi continued until the last of them crossed the Euphrates, and the Makhzoumi died ، Yemen will become separate ، Measure separately ، Then the loyalists get angry, and they are the majority of people on that day ، They say: Come, let us appoint a man from the people of religion to me ، They will send a group of people from Yemen ، And a bunch of harmful ، And a group of people who are loyal to Jerusalem ، They recite the Book of Allah Almighty and ask Him for good ، Then those people return, having appointed a man from among the loyalists as their guardian ، So woe to the people in the Levant and its land due to his guardianship ، He goes to Mudar and wants to fight them ، Then a man from Morocco walks ، A tall, powerful man with broad shoulders ، He kills whoever he meets until he enters the Holy House ، Then the animal hits him ، He dies a death ، So the world will be as evil as it was ، Then after him comes a man from Mudar ، He kills righteous people ، Ominous cursed ، Then after him comes Al-Madari Al-Omani Al-Qahtani ، He follows the path of his brother Mahdi ، And at his hands the city of Rum will be conquered.” Abu Abdullah Naeem said: He emerges from a village called Yakli, behind Sana’a, at a stage. ، His father is Qureshi ، His mother is Yemeni

Baqiyya and Abd al-Quddus told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr, on the authority of al-Mashikha, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If Yemen kills the owner of Bayt al-Maqdis, they will go to the Quraysh and kill them, and not one of them will remain without killing him, until one of their sandals is damaged and it is said: This is a Quraysh sandal.”

Then the people of Yemen will go out to the front of the earth and settle on Lakhm and Jadham, and will comfort them in their livelihood until they are equal in it.

Baqiyya ibn al-Walid, Abd al-Quddus, and Abdullah ibn Marwan told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam, on the authority of al-Mushaykhah, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “The person responsible for the evacuation of the people of Yemen is a man from Banu Hashim, whose home is Jerusalem, and his guard is twelve thousand. He evacuates the people of Yemen until they reach the front of the land, and they descend on lakhm and leprosy and comfort them in their livelihoods until they become equal therein. Then the people of Yemen accept each other, and they say: Where will you go? And when will you return? Then a man from among them will delegate them, and he will say: I am your messenger to this ruler of yours, and he will go until he is presented to him in Jerusalem with their letter and their message to relieve them and return them to their homes, and he will order that he be beheaded. If he delays, they send another man against them. When he arrives at them, he orders that he be beheaded, and if he delays, they send another man, who orders that he be beheaded, so Allah Almighty will save him until he comes to them, and he informs them of killing his two companions, and he did not want. Whoever killed him, then they gather and appoint a leader from among them over them, then they march to him and fight him, and Allah Almighty gives them victory over him and they kill him. Then they attack the Quraysh, and not a Quraysh remains unless they kill him, until one of their sandals is damaged and it is said: This is a Quraysh sandal.”

The Mahdi is only from Quraysh, and the caliphate is only from Quraysh, but he has origin and lineage in Yemen.

After the Mahdi, there will be a caliph from the people of Yemen, from Qahtan, the Mahdi’s brother in religion, who will do his work, and he will conquer the city of Byzantium and seize its spoils. The people will be succeeded by a man from Banu Hashim in Jerusalem, who will extinguish traditions that were known and invent traditions that were not, until you will not find a scholar who narrates a single hadith. Al-Qatadad on a dark night, and he sends his daughter to go to the markets with her, wearing a blanket of gold. She cannot hide, coming or going. If a man spoke about that, his neck would be struck.
