کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

I warn you of seven trials that will come after me: a trial that will come from Medina, a trial from Mecca, a trial that will come from Yemen, a trial that will come from the Levant, a trial that will come from the East, a trial that will come from the West, and a trial that will come from the interior of the Levant, which is the trial of the Sufyani.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artah, he said: “The Sufyani kills everyone who disobeys him, saws them, and cooks them in pots for six months. He said: And the two Easts and the two Wests will meet.”

Spare me from this, O Commander of the Faithful. How excellent the people of Khurasan are, and Banu Umayyad from Banu Hashim have gores, and Banu Hashim from Banu Umayyah have gores. Then the Sufyani will come out.

Abu Amr Al-Basri told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit Al-Banani, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Harith Al-Hamdani, on the authority of Ibn Masoud (may Allah be pleased with him), on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “The seventh of the Abbasids calls people to disbelief, but they do not respond to him. Then his family says to him: Do you want to expel us from our livelihood? So he says: I am following the path of Abu Bakr and Omar (may Allah be pleased with him) among you.” However, he refuses to do so, then an enemy of his from his family from Banu Hashim kills him, and if he attacks him, they disagree among themselves.” He mentioned a long disagreement until the emergence of Al-Sufyani.

If two men from Banu Abbas were deposed, and they were the two branches, the first disagreement occurred between them, then the second disagreement followed, which involved annihilation, and the emergence of the Sufyani upon their second disagreement.

If a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, then the Turks and the Romans will gather together and fight, and three flags will be raised in the Levant, and then the Sufyani will fight them until they reach Qarqisiya. Those who ride the openwork ones will fall on the hills of the Peninsula and the Levant and take their women captive, to the point that a man will see the white of his wife’s anklets and will not be able to defend her.

The Sufyani will fight the Turks, then their eradication will be at the hands of the Mahdi, and it is the first brigade that the Mahdi will convene and send to the Turks.

If the Turks and Khazars appear in the peninsula and Azerbaijan, and the Romans in the depths and its outskirts, the Romans will fight a man from Qays, from the people of Qinnasrin, and the Sufyani will fight the people of the East in Iraq, and each side will be occupied with an enemy. If he fights them for forty days and does not come to him, he will extend the favor of the Romans, provided that neither party gives anything to the other.

If Al-Sufyani appears against Al-Aqba’ and Al-Mansur Al-Yamani, the Turks and Romans will emerge and Al-Sufyani will appear over them

In the exit of Sufyani, you will see a sign in the sky

During the term of Sufyani II, his emergence was a sign seen in the sky

In the time of the second Sufyani, the character was distorted, he was guided in the Levant until every people thought that he would be the ruin of what came next to them.

If the matter of the Sufyani appears, no one will be saved from that calamity except those who are patient under the siege

Only those who are patient with the siege will be saved from its affliction. The stronghold of the Sufyani, Allah Almighty willing, is three cities. For the non-Arabs near the Thughwar, a city is called Antioch, a city is called Qurs, a city is called Samisat, and the stronghold from the Romans is a mountain called Al-Mutaq.

The bearers of the black flags and the bearers of the yellow flags meet at the bridge and fight until they reach Palestine, then the Sufyani revolts against the people of the East. When the people of the West descend on Jordan, their leader dies. They separate into three groups: a group that returns to where it came from, a group that performs Hajj, and a group that remains constant. Then the Sufyani fights them and defeats them, and they enter into obedience to him.

The first people of the Maghreb entered the Damascus Mosque, and while they were looking at its marvels, the earth trembled, and it sank to the west of its mosque, and it eclipsed a village called Harasta. Then the Sufyani went out and killed them until they entered Egypt, then returned and fought the people of the East until he returned them to Iraq.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid al-Tanukhi, on the authority of al-Zuhri, who said: “If the black flags differ among themselves, the yellow flags come to them, and they gather in the bridge of the people of Egypt, and the people of the East and the people of the West fight seven times, and then the attack will be on the people of the East until they descend on Ramla, and something will happen between the people of the Levant and the people of the West, and the people of the West will become angry and say: We have come to support you, and then you will do what they do? between you and the people of the East, and they will plunder you, due to the scarcity of the people of the Levant on that day in their eyes. Then the Sufyani will emerge, and the people of the Levant will follow him, and he will fight the people of the East.”

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، He said: “The Berbers come and camp between Palestine and Jordan ، Then the crowds of the East and Syria will march towards them until they stop the tax collector ، A man emerges from Weld Sakhr in weakness ، He throws the Moroccan armies on the Bisan fold and deters them from it ، Then he will meet them the next day and deter them from it ، They side with her ، Then he will meet them on the third day and drive them back to the spring of the wind ، Then the death of their leader comes to them, and they separate into three groups: one group turns back on its heels ، And a group joins the Hijaz ، A band follows Al-Sakhri ، He walks to the rest of their crowd until he comes to Thanyat Fayq ، And they meet her ، Vidal rocks them ، Then you turn to the masses of the East and the Levant and meet them ، He guides them between the reward and the waste ، Until the horses wade in blood ، The people of the Levant kill their president ، They side with Al-Sakhri, who enters Damascus and represents him there ، Banners will emerge from the East, blackened ، They descend on Kufa and their leader hides there ، He does not know his location ، And that army will rise ، Then a man who had been hidden in the depths of the valley comes out and is in command of that army ، Its main source was anger at what Al-Sakhri did to his family ، He marches with the soldiers of the East towards the Levant ، Al-Sakhri reaches his destination and heads the soldiers of the people of Morocco towards him ، They meet the mountain of pebbles ، A lot of world will perish between them ، And the Mashriqi leaves ، The rock follows it and overtakes it in Qarqesya at the complex of the two rivers and they meet ، Their patience exhausts them, and seven of the Levantine soldiers are killed out of every ten ، Then Al-Sakhri's soldiers entered Kufa and attacked its people ، He directs a soldier from the Maghreb to the soldiers from the East next to him ، Then they will bring him their captives ، Perhaps this is the case when the news of the Mahdi’s appearance in Mecca comes to him ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa, and he will be eclipsed by it.” Artah said: “And he will be between the people of the West and the people of the East at the bridge of Fustat for seven days.” ، Then they meet Al-Arish, and the people of the East will be defeated until they reach the Jordan ، Then the Sufyani will come out after them ، The Romans who were in Homs were afraid of the Berbers ، And they say: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.

Al-Sufyani wanted to leave a village in the west of the Levant called Andra with seven people

Al-Sufyani has the ability to carry a woman

Al-Sufyani is three and a half years old

He owns the pregnancy of a woman. His name is Abdullah bin Yazid, and he is Al-Azhar bin Al-Kalbiyyah, or Al-Zuhri Ibn Al-Kalbiyyah, the mutilated Sufyani.

The Sufyani who dies, fighting the first of the black flags and the yellow flags in the navel of the Levant, emerging from the mandarin east of Baysan, on a red camel, wearing a crown, defeats the group twice, then perishes while accepting the tribute, taking the offspring captive, and tearing open the stomachs of the pregnant ones.

Al-Sufyani is from the descendants of Khalid bin Yazid bin Abi Sufyan. He is a huge man, with smallpox marks on his face and a white spot on his eyes. He comes out of the direction of the city of Damascus in a valley called Wadi Al-Yabis. He goes out with seven people, with a man among them with a tied flag. They know victory by his banner. They march in front of him for thirty miles. No one who wants it sees that flag unless he is defeated.

Al-Sufyani emerges from the dry valley, and the owner of Damascus comes out to fight him, and when he looks at his banner, he will be defeated
