کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Mahdi will be sent to fight the Romans, he will be given the jurisprudence of ten, the Ark of Tranquility will be extracted from a cave in Antioch, in which is the Torah that Allah Almighty revealed to Moses (peace be upon him), and the Gospel that Allah Almighty revealed to Jesus (peace be upon him), and he will judge between the people of the Torah according to their Torah, and between the people of the Gospel according to their Gospel.

He is called the Mahdi because he guides to a hidden matter, and extracts the Torah and the Gospel from a land called Antioch.

The leaders of the Mahdi are the best of people. The people who supported him and pledged allegiance to him were from the people of Kufan ​​and Yemen, and the Abdal of the Levant. His leader was Gabriel, and his leader was Michael. He is beloved among creation. Allah Almighty will extinguish blind strife, and the earth will be secure, so much so that a woman will perform Hajj with five women who do not have a man with her. She does not fear anything except Allah. She gives the earth her alms, and the sky her blessing.

He was called the Mahdi because he guides to books from the books of the Torah, extracts them from the mountains of the Levant, invites the Jews to them, and greets a large group of people to those books. Then he mentioned about thirty thousand people.

If you see a caliph in Bayt al-Maqdis, and another without him, meaning in Damascus, do not follow the one without him, for he is more misguided than his people’s donkey.

The Mahdi is humble to Allah like the humility of an eagle spreading its wings

Al-Mahdi is one or fifty-two years old

The name of Mahdi Muhammad is the name of a prophet

Al-Mahdi is from the descendants of Abbas

Al-Mahdi is from the descendants of Fatima

The Mahdi is only from the Quraysh, and the caliphate is only among them, except that he has origin and lineage in Yemen

Al-Mahdi dies a death, then the people will follow him after him, a man from his family in whom there is good and evil, and his evil is greater than his good. He angers the people, calls them to disunity after the group, his survival is short, a man from his family revolts against him and kills him, and the people after him fight intensely, and the one who killed him after him remains for a short time, then he dies a death, then a man from Mudar from the east follows them, he makes the people infidels, and expels them from their religion, the people of Yemen fight fiercely in Mesopotamia. Allah will defeat him and those with him

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “The people of Yemen are fighting fiercely in Mesopotamia ، Allah will defeat him and those with him ، The people of the East and those with him are terrified only by the dead floating on the river ، They know of their defeat ، Their rider heads to Yemen as they descend between the two rivers ، Then Allah Almighty and those with him will appear ، And people's affairs will be fixed ، Their words come together happily ، Then they walk until they reach the Levant ، They stay for a period of time in a righteous state ، Then Qais revolts against them ، The people of Yemen kill them until anyone thinks that there is no Qais left ، Then a man from the people of Yemen rises and says: Allah, Allah, for your brothers ، Allah and the rest ، Then Qays went with those who remained of it until they came down between the two rivers ، They gather a great crowd ، They will be put in charge of a man from Banu Makhzum ، Then the governor of Yemen dies ، Qais rejoices at his death ، The Makhzoumi continued until the last of them crossed the Euphrates, and the Makhzoumi died ، Yemen will become separate ، Measure separately ، Then the loyalists get angry, and they are the majority of people on that day ، They say: Come, let us appoint a man from the people of religion to me ، They will send a group of people from Yemen ، And a bunch of harmful ، And a group of people who are loyal to Jerusalem ، They recite the Book of Allah Almighty and ask Him for good ، Then those people return, having appointed a man from among the loyalists as their guardian ، So woe to the people in the Levant and its land due to his guardianship ، He goes to Mudar and wants to fight them ، Then a man from Morocco walks ، A tall, powerful man with broad shoulders ، He kills whoever he meets until he enters the Holy House ، Then the animal hits him ، He dies a death ، So the world will be as evil as it was ، Then after him comes a man from Mudar ، He kills righteous people ، Ominous cursed ، Then after him comes Al-Madari Al-Omani Al-Qahtani ، He follows the path of his brother Mahdi ، And at his hands the city of Rum will be conquered.” Abu Abdullah Naeem said: He emerges from a village called Yakli, behind Sana’a, at a stage. ، His father is Qureshi ، His mother is Yemeni

At the hands of that Yamani, the Lesser Epic of Akka would take place, when the fifth of Heraclius’s people would rule

Al-Yamani appears and kills Quraysh in Jerusalem, and epics are written at his hands

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Zur’ah, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If there is a lot of commotion among the people, the people say: This fighting is for Quraysh and for them, so kill them until you are at peace. They kill them until not a single one of them remains, and the people attack each other as they were in their pre-Islamic era, and the people are ruled by a man of the loyal ones.”

If Al-Yamani appears, the Quraysh will be killed on that day in Jerusalem

Baqiyya and Abd al-Quddus told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr, on the authority of al-Mashikha, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If Yemen kills the owner of Bayt al-Maqdis, they will go to the Quraysh and kill them, and not one of them will remain without killing him, until one of their sandals is damaged and it is said: This is a Quraysh sandal.”

The king was in Jurhum, so they became arrogant and fought among themselves, envying the kingship until they were exhausted. And the Quraysh would fight in the same way, envying the kingship, until a man sought from the Quraysh in Mecca and Medina and would not be able to defeat him, just as no man is able to defeat them today.

Days will not pass until a caliph from the Quraysh descends on Jerusalem, gathering all his people from the Quraysh in their position and position, and they exaggerate in their affairs and enjoy their possessions, until they make gold and silver sills for their homes, and the lands are developed for them, and the nations are indebted to them, and the tribute is paid for them, and the wars bear their burdens.

A man from Banu Hashim descends on Jerusalem, guarded by twelve thousand people

His guard was thirty-six thousand, and twelve thousand on each road to Jerusalem

Then the people of Yemen will go out to the front of the earth and settle on Lakhm and Jadham, and will comfort them in their livelihood until they are equal in it.

Baqiyya ibn al-Walid, Abd al-Quddus, and Abdullah ibn Marwan told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam, on the authority of al-Mushaykhah, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “The person responsible for the evacuation of the people of Yemen is a man from Banu Hashim, whose home is Jerusalem, and his guard is twelve thousand. He evacuates the people of Yemen until they reach the front of the land, and they descend on lakhm and leprosy and comfort them in their livelihoods until they become equal therein. Then the people of Yemen accept each other, and they say: Where will you go? And when will you return? Then a man from among them will delegate them, and he will say: I am your messenger to this ruler of yours, and he will go until he is presented to him in Jerusalem with their letter and their message to relieve them and return them to their homes, and he will order that he be beheaded. If he delays, they send another man against them. When he arrives at them, he orders that he be beheaded, and if he delays, they send another man, who orders that he be beheaded, so Allah Almighty will save him until he comes to them, and he informs them of killing his two companions, and he did not want. Whoever killed him, then they gather and appoint a leader from among them over them, then they march to him and fight him, and Allah Almighty gives them victory over him and they kill him. Then they attack the Quraysh, and not a Quraysh remains unless they kill him, until one of their sandals is damaged and it is said: This is a Quraysh sandal.”

Your affairs will be handled by young men from Quraish, who will be like the heifers tending to the stalls. If they let go, they will eat what is in their hands, and if they let go, they will gore whoever they catch.
