کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

By the One in whose hand is my soul, it will expand upon whoever of the Muslims comes to it just as the womb expands upon a child. A mountain in the land of the Levant, from Homs, on a river called Al-Arunt, so the descendants of the Muslims will be at the top of the neck, and the Muslims are on the Arunat River, and the polytheists behind the Arunat River will fight them morning and evening. When the owner of Constantinople sees this, he directs six hundred thousand across the land to Qinnasrin until seventy thousand come to them in Yemen. May Allah unite their hearts with faith, with them forty thousand. From Himyar, until they come to Jerusalem, and they fight the Romans and defeat them, and drive them out from one army to another, until they come to Qinnisrin and the material of the loyalists comes to them.

The Romans from the Levant will come up for forty mornings, and only Damascus and Upper Balqa will abstain from it

A Roman king conquers all of the Levant except Damascus and Amman, then he is defeated and Caesarea, the land of the Romans, is built, and it becomes a host of the people of the Levant, then fire appears from Aden and Abyan.

If you build a city six miles from Damascus, then gather for epics

The Romans will enter the Holy House with seventy crosses until they demolish it, and obedience will continue to be practiced as long as the caliphate is in the land of Jerusalem and the Levant. The first coast that Allah will be angry with will be eclipsed by Al-Sarfiyya, Caesarea, and Beirut. The Romans and the Levant will rule for forty days from the seashore to the Jordan and Beit Shean. Then the Muslims will gain victory over them. They will reconcile it until their authority over them runs out, and the entire earth will be secure for seven-nine days.

The Arabs migrate to each other from different parts of the world ، The two wings meet: Egypt and Iraq in the Levant ، It is the head ، The Roman king arrives on a platform carried on two mules ، They

that day should be in the first march ، If he cannot, then the second, third, fourth, or the other ، If he is not able to bear it, then he should stick to the group’s tent and not leave it ، The hand of Allah Almighty is upon them ، Whoever flees on that day will not feel the scent of Paradise ، The Romans say to the Muslims: Leave our land for us ، Return to us all the red and hybrid ones among

supports those who are patient ، They will be rewarded just as He was required of the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ. ، It fills their hearts and chests with courage and boldness ، When the Romans saw the lack of patient group, they became greedy and said: Ride on every hoof ، So I trampled them and destroyed them ، Then a Muslim rider stands on his saddle and looks to his right, to his left, and

necks ، And the weapons of the Almohads are directed at them ، If a believer were to hit a peg, it would be cut off ، Gabriel and Michael descend and push them away with the angels with them ، Allah will defeat them ، They drive them like sheep until they take them to their kings ، Their kings fell down with fear on their faces ، Their crowns will be removed from their heads ، They trample them with horses and feet until they kill them ، Until their blood reaches the size of two horses and the ground does not dry it ، And every blood that reaches two horses is an epic ، He slaughtered ، That was the cessation of the Roman kingdom ، And Allah Almighty sends angels to the outskirts of its islands informing them of the killing of the Romans.”

If that is the case, then remain steadfast in your homes, O people of Homs, for they will perish at the hill of Fahmaya, and they will not reach you. Whoever remains steadfast will be saved, and whoever walks to Damascus will perish of thirst.

Naeem told us, Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Safwan, he said: Some of our sheikhs told us, he said: “A man came to us while I was staying, when I was circumcised with a vein, and he said: Is there anyone to stay tonight?” So they went down, and there was a man worthy of goodness when you looked at him, as if he was seeking knowledge, and he said: Do you have knowledge of Susiya? They said: Yes, he said: Where is it? We said: Khirbat towards the sea. He said: Does it have a spring to which one can go down with stairs and fresh cold water? They said: Yes, he said: Is there a ruined fortress next to it? They said: Yes, we said: Who are you, Abdullah? He said: I am a braver man. They said: What is the matter with what you mentioned? He said: The Roman ships will approach at sea until they land near that spring, and they will burn their ships. Then the people of Damascus will send to them and they will stay for three days. They will invite them to evacuate the country for them, but they will refuse, so the immigrants will fight them, and it will be the first day of killing in both groups, and the second day. On the enemy, and the third, Allah will defeat them, and only the smallest of them will reach their ships, and they have burned many ships, and they said: We will not leave this country, and Allah will defeat them. The Muslims described that day as the shoes of the ruined tower, and while they were like that, Allah had defeated their enemy until he came coming from behind them, and told them that the people of Qinnasrin had arrived and were heading to Damascus, and that the Romans had attacked them, and there was a rendezvous with them on land and sea, so the Muslim stronghold on that day would be in Damascus.

O Abu Amer, if these two dustbins are blown up, then remove your family from Homs. If you enter Antarsus and three hundred martyrs are killed there, then remove your family from Homs. The Persians will close it in on the descendants of the Muslims and their women. Then we surrounded ourselves until we entered Deir Mashal. You will see this wood. On that day, it will be the catapults of the Muslims. It is not permissible for them to complete three years. The Romans have three outings. This is the first, and the other. An army will come to the sea with a thousand castles and they will disperse them. They recruit their share, and prepare to go out in one day, and when that day comes, each people goes out to the next Muslims, burns their ships, and makes their fortresses tents, then they fight and the affliction and fighting intensify in all of Syria, and some of them are unable to defeat others, and Allah withholds victory, and gives weapons, and softens the people until it becomes the Muslims’ business to fortify themselves in Al-Mada’in, and notifies the Roman scribes in the breaches of Al-Mada’in, and then the Persians of Homs are closed. Its doors are upon the descendants of Muslims and their women, and the fighting intensifies in the land of Palestine for four consecutive days.

Naim told us, on the authority of Baqiyya, and Abd al-Quddus, on the authority of Safwan, on the authority of Shuraih ibn Ubaid, on the authority of Ka’b, that he said to Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan: “For people to be covered with chickpeas is something that frightens them, until they leave it hastily, having left their world behind them. Even when a woman comes out, her slave girl follows her until she takes off her cloak and says: Where, where? And until seventy thousand of them die from thirst, and until The man keeps asking his family in Ghouta: Who saw her? Who felt her? So the one who says: I saw her in the wormwood, carrying her child on her shoulders, wrapping her legs with her veil. I don’t know what she did yet. So how about you, O people of Homs, if the lightest of your women were taken away by you, and the heavy ones were your enemy’s? When people heard this hadith in that time, they cursed her with the curse of Allah if they saw the burdened woman.

Seventy thousand people will perish between Homs and Thaniyat al-Uqab, and whoever of you realizes that must take the eastern road from Homs to Sarbol, and from Sarbol to Al-Khumayra, and from Al-Khumayra to Al-Dhakhira, and from Al-Dhakhira to Al-Nabk, and from Al-Nabk to Al-Qutayfa, and from Al-Qutayfa to Damascus. Whoever takes this route will remain in continuous waters.

You will still be fine as long as the people of the Peninsula do not ride with the people of Qinnasrin, and the people of Qinnasrin ride with the people of Homs. If that happens, then there will be panic, and the people will flee to Damascus.
