کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

After the Mahdi, there will be a caliph from the people of Yemen, from Qahtan, the Mahdi’s brother in religion, who will do his work, and he will conquer the city of Byzantium and seize its spoils. The people will be succeeded by a man from Banu Hashim in Jerusalem, who will extinguish traditions that were known and invent traditions that were not, until you will not find a scholar who narrates a single hadith. Al-Qatadad on a dark night, and he sends his daughter to go to the markets with her, wearing a blanket of gold. She cannot hide, coming or going. If a man spoke about that, his neck would be struck.

The Romans will enter the Holy House with seventy crosses until they demolish it, and obedience will continue to be practiced as long as the caliphate is in the land of Jerusalem and the Levant. The first coast that Allah will be angry with will be eclipsed by Al-Sarfiyya, Caesarea, and Beirut. The Romans and the Levant will rule for forty days from the seashore to the Jordan and Beit Shean. Then the Muslims will gain victory over them. They will reconcile it until their authority over them runs out, and the entire earth will be secure for seven-nine days.

The Lord approaches the sky and returns the water to his element, and the earth trembles, and the people bow down with their faces prostrated, and free most of their slaves. Then it calms down for a while, then returns, and it shakes its people more severely than the first time, and they free most of their slaves. Then it cracks and eclipses a portion of the earth, its valleys, and the people, to the point that a man walks and passes through the neighborhood and they are unharmed, and others are eclipsed by them, and the two men will grind, and a thunderbolt will strike them, and one of them will die, or They will also be afflicted in their sleep, and the earth will suffer an earthquake like the burrows of a hard stallion, until the people of the cities and villages take refuge in the mountains and are with the wild beasts, and the jewels of the earth will cram their gold and silver into Jerusalem, and until the man and woman open the baskets and basins and they will not find any of their jewellery, and the wood and roof of Jerusalem will rattle, the pastures and animals will perish, the kingdom of the peninsula and Armenia will be cut off, their trees will wither, and their animals will perish from the earth. The earthquake, and satiates them with hunger, and the man even rebels and takes off from his place and escapes three times, all of that is returned to his place, so his last take-off and escape is to Tiberias, so he leaps upon it, and seeks refuge with Allah in His holy name not to bring him back and make him poor.
