کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

O fool, do not separate your horses

If you see two Arab tribesmen fleeing to the Romans, this is a sign of the Battle of Alexandria.

On that day, the foolish Quraish would attack Alexandria in its epic, so the epic would take place in the market of whales, and the Roman kings would place their chairs in Caesarea, the Green Dome, and Johns, and the Muslims would side with the Mosque of Solomon until the vanguard of the Arabs would overwhelm them, among them a knight on the horse of Aghar Mujeeb, with a bolt on the lighthouse hill.

A man of known lineage through father and mother will emerge from the Quraysh, angry with the Romans, and they will accept him and place him in a place of honor. Then twenty months will pass from the day of his departure to the Romans. Then he will go with the Romans to Alexandria in their ships, and they will be met by a strong wind, and none of them will return to the land of the Romans except an informant.

The sign of the Alexandria Epic: If you see two Arab raiders going out to the Romans, it is a sign of the Alexandria Epic.

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: “The battle of Alexandria is approaching the Romans from the direction of Antipolis, until when they reach the slaughterhouse of Bardhun from the land of Lubya, the owner of Alexandria informs them of their news, and he sends to them his guard, and they do not return to him until the Romans descend on Alexandria. I wish I were alive on that day to the Hamiq of Quraysh, so I would say: O fool, imprison your horses, for they are deceiving you.”
