There will be a turmoil in the Levant in which bribes and nobles will rise, then their fools and lowlifes will increase in it until their leaders will be enslaved as they used to enslave them before that.

There will be a trial in the Levant in which their women and nobles will rise, then only a few will come to it until their fools and lowlifes rise up in it until they enslave their women as they used to enslave them before that.

If the idol of the Khalsa is worshiped, the Romans will appear in the Levant, and on that day they will send to the people of Qardh to seek help from them, and they will come on their heels, Qarth, meaning the people of Hijaz.

If you worship Dhu al-Khalasa, the Romans will appear in the Levant

If you worship Dhu al-Khalasa, an idol that was trampled upon in pre-Islamic times, it would be the appearance of the Romans in the Levant

The Romans mobilize, and the people of the Levant seek help, and not a believer is left behind.

I found them living after that for a long time, but the general standard of living in the Levant is modern

Nu'aym told us, then Rushdin, on the authority of Ibn Lahi'ah, on the authority of Bakr ibn Sawadah, that a servant of Abdullah ibn Amr told him, on the authority of Abu Zur'ah, on the authority of Shafi, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: “You and the people of Andalusia are fighting handsomely, and your reinforcements will come to you from the Levant, and when the first of them descends, Allah will defeat your enemy, and they will continue to kill them as far as Lubiyah, and then you will return, and Abyssinia will come to you with three hundred thousand, upon them. Then you and the people of the Levant fight them, and Allah Almighty defeats them. Then you return to the Copts and say: Why did you help us against our enemy? They say: You did this to us. You took away our strength. You did not leave us a weapon, and you are the people most beloved to us. He said: Then they forgive them.

The people of Andalusia fight you handsomely, then your supplies come from the Levant, and Allah defeats them

The Abyssinians will come with three hundred thousand, and over them will be a man called Asbis. You and the people of the Levant will fight them, and Allah will defeat them.

Naim told us, then Al-Walid, on the authority of Saeed bin Bashir, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Uqba bin Aws, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: “The Banu Qantura bin Karkara are about to go out and drive the people of Khurasan violently, until they tie their horses to the palm trees of the grove, and they send a message to the people of Basra: Either you join us, or leave it to us, and a third will join them, and a third will join the Bedouins, and a third will go to the Levant.”

Salamah b. Kuhail said:Zaid b. Wahb al-Juhani told us that he was in the army which proceeded to (fight with) the Khawarij in the company of `Ali. `Ali then said: O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: there will appear from among my community people who recite the Qur'an, and your recitation has no comparison with their recitation, and your prayer has no comparison with their prayer, and your fasts have no comparison with their fasts. They will recite the Qur'an thinking that it is beneficial for them, while it is harmful for them. Their prayer will not pass their collar-bones. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. If the army that is approaching them knows what (reward) has been decided for them at the tongue of their Prophet (ﷺ), they would leave (other good) activities. The sign of that is that among them there will be a man who has an upper arm, but not hand; on his upper arm there will be something like the nipple of a female breast, having white hair thereon. Will you go to Mu`awiyah and the people of Syria, and leave them behind among your children and property? I swear by Allah, I hope these are the same people, for they shed the blood unlawfully, and attacked the cattle of the people so go on in the name of Allah. Salamah b. Kuhail said: Zaid b. Wahb then informed me of all the halting places one by one, (saying): Until we passed a bridge. When we fought with each other, `Abd Allah b. Wahb al-Rasibi, who was the leader of the Khawarij, said to them: Throw away the lances and pull out the swords from their sheaths, for I am afraid they will adjure you as they had adjured on the day of Harura. So they threw away their lances and pulled out their swords, and the people pierced them with their lances. They were killed (lying one on the other). On that day only two persons of the partisans (of `Ali) were afflicted. `Ali said: Search for the man with the crippled hand. But they could not find him. Then `Ali got up himself and went to the people who had been killed and were lying on one another. He said: Take them out. They found him just near the ground. So he shouted: Allah is Most Great! He said: Allah spoke the truth, and His Apostle has conveyed. `Ubaidat al-Salmani stood up to him, saying: Commander of the Faithful! Have you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: Yes, by him, there is no Allah but He. He put to swear thrice and he swore
