کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

An army comes from the west, seeking this house, until when they are in Al-Bayda, it eclipses them, and whoever was in front of them returns to see what the people did, and what befell them will happen to them, and he follows them behind them to see what they did, and what befell them will befall them. Whoever was hiding it will be hit by what befell them, then Allah Almighty will resurrect each one of them according to his intention.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, until they destroy the Romans all together, and only an informer escapes. Then they set off for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay with Batha. Then they open it with the takbir. They say the takbir, and one of its walls falls. Then they say the takbir another, and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek protection from Rome and open it with the takbir, and on that day they will sway their spoils. Enough of deceit

Abd al-Razzaq told us, on the authority of Muammar, on the authority of al-Zuhri, Amr ibn Abi Sufyan al-Thaqafi told me that a man from the Ansar told him, on the authority of some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), on the authority of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “While the Muslims in the Levant were besieged by the Dajjal in one of its mountains, wanting to kill the Dajjal, when darkness overtook them in which no one could see his hand, and the son of Mary would descend and lose sight of them. And among the most prominent of them is a man against his nation, and they say: Who are you, O servant of Allah? He says: I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger, and His spirit and His word, Jesus, son of Mary. They chose between one of three: between Allah Almighty sending a torment from the sky upon the Dajjal and his soldiers, or causing them to collapse into the earth, or placing your weapons on them, and stopping their weapons. Then they say: This, O Messenger of Allah, will heal our chests and our souls. He said: Then on that day he will see the great, tall, corroded Jew. When he sees the Son of Mary, the Dajjal melts, and his sword hand does not diminish from the trembling, so they descend upon them, and the Dajjal melts when he sees the son of Mary, just as bullets melt until he reaches him or Jesus overtakes him and kills him.”

My nation has five classes, each class lasting forty years. The first class is me and those with me who are people of certainty and knowledge. The second class is people of righteousness and loyalty. The third class is people of communication and compassion. The fourth class is people of intersection and deliberation. The fifth class is people of joy and joy, chaos and pandemonium. At two hundred and ten, slander, eclipse, and metamorphosis occur. At two hundred and twenty, death occurs among the scholars of the earth, until only one man remains after another. At two hundred and thirty, the sky rains hail like white, and the livestock perish. At two hundred, the Nile and Euphrates are cut off until it is planted on their shores, and at two hundred and fifty the roads are cut off, and lions dominate the sons of Adam, and every people is confined to their city. At two hundred and sixty, the sun is blocked for half an hour, and half of humanity and half of the jinn perish. At two hundred and seventy, no child is born to them and no female becomes pregnant. At two hundred and eighty, women become like dull mules, to the point that a woman is intercourse with forty men without seeing anything of it. And at two hundred and ninety, The year will become like a month, and a month will become like a Friday, and a Friday will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour, and an hour will be like the burning of a palm tree, until a man leaves his house and does not reach the gate of the city until the sun sets, and in the Three Hundred Days the sun rises from the west, and every heart is imprinted with what is in it, {And of no benefit will a soul whose faith has not previously believed or earned good in its faith} And do not ask about what is behind that.
