کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

So Lakhm, Leprosy, Jadis, and Amila will be Mughtha to them on that day, just as Yusuf was Mughtha to the family of Yaqub. So Yemen and Al-Hamra, who are the loyal ones, correspond, and they will gather together in a group like the gathering of autumn clouds, meaning the intermittent clouds.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “There will be a truce between the Mahdi and the Romans, then the Mahdi will perish, then a man from his family will follow him, and he will be just a little, then he will draw his sword on the people of Palestine, and they will revolt with it, and he will seek help from the people of Jordan, and he will stay among them for two months, and will be just as the Mahdi is, then he will draw his sword on them, and they will revolt with it, and he will escape until he descends on Damascus. Have you seen the ceilings that At the gate of al-Jabiya, where the coffins are located, there is a round stone below it, on five cubits, on which he slaughters and the remembrance of his blood will not be extinguished until it is said: The Romans have established therein between Tire and Acre, for they are the epics.”

At the hands of that Caliph, Yaman, the Battle of India, which Abu Hurairah said about, would take place

The prince of the nerves is Yamani

I have heard that the Mahdi lives forty years, then dies in his bed, then a man emerges from Qahtan with pierced ears, following the manner of the Mahdi, he lives for twenty years, then he dies with weapons, then a man from the family of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) emerges, a Mahdi of good character, who conquers the city of Caesar, and he is the last prince from the nation of Muhammad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), then the Dajjal will emerge in his time, and Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend in his time.

After the Mahdi, there will be a man from Qahtan with pierced ears, in the manner of the Mahdi. His life will be twenty years, then he will die with a weapon, then a man from the family of Ahmad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) of good conduct will emerge and conquer the city of Caesar. He will be the last king or prince from the nation of Ahmad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), and the Dajjal will emerge in his time, and Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend in his time.

At the hands of that Yamani Caliph, through whom Constantinople and Rome were conquered, the Dajjal will emerge, and in his time Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), will descend. The Battle of India will take place at his hands, and he is from Banu Hashim.

Naim told us, Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “If the companion of Al-Adham appears in Alexandria and the land of Egypt, the Arabs will follow Yathrib and the Hijaz, and will emerge from the Levant, and each tribe will follow its people, and Allah will send an army to them. When they finish between the two islands, their herald calls: Let every honest person or intruder who is among us among the Muslims come out to us. The loyalists will become angry, and they will pledge allegiance to a man called Saleh bin Abdullah bin Qays bin Yasar, and he will come out. And the Roman army meets them and kills them, and death occurs among the Romans, while they are in Jerusalem that day, and they have captured it, so they die like locusts, and the owner of Al-Adham dies, and Salih descends with the governors in the land of Syria, and enters Ammuriyah, having stayed there, and descends on Qamuliya, and conquers Zantia, and the voices of his army there in calling for monotheism are loud, and he divides its money among them with utensils, and he appears in Rome, and extracts from it the Gate of Zion, and an onyx coffin, in which is an earring. Eve, and Adam’s garment, meaning his garment, and Aaron’s garment (peace be upon them), so between us they are like that when news comes to him and it is false and he returns.”

There will be a reconciliation between the Mahdi and the Roman tyrant after he is killed by the Sufyani, and Kalb is plundered, until your merchants differ to each other and their merchants to you, and they take three years to master the craftsmanship of their ships. Then the Mahdi perishes, and a man from his family reigns and does justice a little, then he is tyrannical, and he is killed, and his memory will not be extinguished until the Romans anchor between Tire and Akka. These are the epics.

Constantinople will be conquered, then the news will come to them of the emergence of the Dajjal, and it will be false. Then they will stay for three-seven weeks, and the sky will retain a third of its diameter in that year, and in the second year two-thirds of it, and in the third year it will retain its entire diameter. Not a fingernail nor a fang will remain but perish, and hunger will occur and they will die, until out of every seventy there will not remain ten, and people will flee to the mountains of Al-Jawf to Antioch, and among the signs of the emergence of the Antioch is an eastern wind that is neither hot nor cold, destroying. The idol of Alexandria, and the olives of the Maghreb and the Levant are cut from their roots, and the Euphrates, springs, and rivers are dried up, and the times of the days and months and the times of the new moons are fixed for them.

Jesus will remain after the Dajjal for thirty years, each year of which he will come to Mecca and pray there and chant Allah

It will be in the time of Al-Hashemi, who will be arrogant in Jerusalem after Al-Mahdi, who will send a slave girl wearing clothing that does not cover her. In his time, there will be trembling, disfigurement, and eclipse.

There will be fire or smoke in the East for forty nights
