کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam, on the authority of his sheikhs, who said: “The Sufyani is brought in his dream and it is said to him: Get up and go out. He gets up and does not find anyone. Then he comes the second time and is told the same thing. Then he is told a third time: Get up and go out. Look who is at the door of your house. The third time he descends to the door of his house and finds him with seven or nine people and a banner with them. They say: We are your companions. So he goes out and people follow him.” From Qurayyat Wadi al-Yabis, the ruler of Damascus would go out to meet him and fight him, and when he saw his banner, he would be defeated, and he would be the governor of Damascus on that day, nor of Banu Abbas.”

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abu Ubaidah Al-Ashja’i, on the authority of Abu Umayyah Al-Kalbi, on the authority of a sheikh who entered pre-Islamic times and his eyebrows fell over his eyes. He said: “If the people of the black banners disagreed, they separated into three groups: a group calling for the Banu Fatima, a group calling for the Banu Abbas, and a group calling for themselves.”

Then Al-Sufyani appears against the Marwanites and kills them, then he follows the Banu Marwan and kills them, then he approaches the people of the East and the Banu Abbas until he enters Kufa. Al-Sufyani disputes in Damascus with one of the Banu Marwan, so he appears against Al-Marwani and kills him, then he kills the Banu Marwan for three months, then he approaches the people of the East until he enters Kufa.

Their destruction at the hands of a man of this gender

If an otter prevails and appears in the west, and their companion, Bani Abbas, comes, then their nephew enters Kufa with those who are with him and destroys it, then an ulcer afflicts him, and he comes out of it, heading to the Levant, and is destroyed between Iraq and the Levant. Then they assign a man from his family over them, and he is the one who does evil to the people, and his command becomes apparent, and he is the Sufyani. Then the Arabs gather against him in the land of the Levant, and there is a fight between them until the fight turns to Medina, so the epic will take place in Baqi’ al-Gharqad.

His cause is ignited in Homs, and he kindles it in Damascus, and his passion is in the war of Banu Abbas

Al-Sufyani defeats the group twice, accepts the tribute, and takes captive the offspring, and they slaughter a woman from the Quraysh, with which he rips open the stomachs of the women of Bani Hashim, then he dies, and then a rebel from the family of that woman arises after years called Abdullah. He never worshiped Allah Almighty. He is the most vile of creatures, deformed, cursed. Whoever follows him and calls for him will be cursed by the people of heaven and the people of earth. He is the son of the eater of livers. He comes to Damascus, sits on its pulpit, and catches fire. He commanded him to go to Homs, and to light a fire in Damascus, and that is when two men from the Abbasids are removed, and they are the two branches, and when the second one is different, Al-Sufyani emerges, young in age, curly-haired, white, with a long body, and his middle finger is shaved, and there will be clashes between him and them in the Levant, and he will take the women of the Abbasids captive until he brings them to Damascus.

Al-Walid told us, a muhaddith narrated to me, “Bedouin, due to the dispute between the Abbasids, a banner would emerge from Khorasan, and there would be a battle between them in the saffron beds, in which all people and tribes would be killed. Then the people would reach the battle that was in the saffron beds while he was in the pure city between the rivers, and he would go out with the wealth he had collected there until he settled in the city of idols, meaning Harran. Then the news would come to him that a king in Morocco had revolted, so he would send soldiers to defeat them, until He will descend with those who are with him in the Levant, and a caller will call from the sky: Woe to the land of Homs, Al-Ain Al-Sinja. So every man who has Baal will bear her husband, and every woman who has the son of her son. Then he will go until he descends between the rivers, and he will kill a great tyrant with it, and swear by it. Then he will go to the city of idols, meaning Harran, and he will rip open the belly of its owner there, and disperse his crowds. He will be sent to the East and pledge allegiance to them, unwilling and disobedient, and will stay there for eight months. Then he will go to Al-Khabur and will stay there for seven months. A week, then he goes to the bull's paddock and leaves it as a ram, and the owner of the East withdraws him to the mountains of Al-Jawf, then a man from his house betrays him and kills him. Then the owner of the East comes until he settles between Harran and Edessa, then the rebellious person comes out of the house of the head.”

While the owners of the black banners were fighting among themselves, the seventh of seven came out, and he sent to the people of the villages asking them to support him, but they refused him. The Abbasid official at Tiberias was informed of his exit, and he sent to him a large crowd. If they confronted him, they all turned to him, except for their friend who led them. Then he fights him at the Lake of Tiberias, until the calves of the lake are red with their blood, then he defeats them, then they gather for him in Al-Jabiya a great crowd, so woe to him whose family is from Al-Jabiya five miles away, and blessed is he whose family is behind that, so he defeats them. Then they gather for him in Damascus a crowd similar to the one they entered Damascus with, and they fight there until the horses run in blood to their knees, then he defeats them.

If the other disagreement occurred among the Banu Abbas, after the departure of Al-Sufyani bin Aqla Al-Akbad, and in their other disagreement annihilation, then wait for the Battle of Al-Thaniyya, and the Battle of Palmyra, a village to the west of Salima, and a great battle at Al-Has, so that the Banu Al-Abbas and the people of the East would prevail until their women were taken captive, and they would enter Kufa.

He takes the women of Bani Abbas captive until he brings them to the villages of Damascus

A black flag of Banu Abbas will emerge, then another black flag will emerge from Khorasan. Their hoods are black and their clothes are white. At the front of them is a man called Shuaib bin Saleh bin Shuaib from Tamim. They will defeat the companions of the Sufyani until he descends on Jerusalem. The Mahdi will establish his authority and extend to him three hundred men from the Levant. There will be seventy-two months between his emergence and the handing over of authority to the Mahdi.

Black flags of Banu Abbas will emerge from the East, then they will stay as long as Allah wills, then small black flags will emerge from the East, fighting a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan and his companions, performing obedience to the Mahdi.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “When the millstone of Banu Abbas has turned, and the owners of the black banners tie their horses to the olive trees of the Levant, and Allah destroys for them the red-haired man, and kills him and all of his household at their hands, until there is no Umayyad among them left except one who flees or disappears, and the two palms fall: Banu Ja’far and Banu Abbas, and the son of the liver-eater sits on the pulpit of Damascus, and the Berbers go out to The navel of Syria is the sign of the emergence of the Mahdi.”

Abu Harun told us, on the authority of Amr ibn Qais al-Malai, on the authority of al-Minhal, on the authority of Zirr ibn Hubaysh, he heard Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: “May Allah relieve the temptations of a man among us who afflicts them with shame and gives them nothing but the sword. He places the sword on his shoulder for eight months of chaos, until they say: By Allah, this is not a descendant of Fatima. If he were hers, he would have mercy on us. Allah tempts him with the sons of Abbas and the sons of Umayyad.”

The Mahdi will descend in Bayt al-Maqdis, then there will be caliphs from his family after him, their term will be prolonged, and they will be arrogant until the people pray against the Banu Abbas and the Banu Umayyad from what they receive from them.

Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Tahirti told us, on the authority of Abd al-Salam bin Maslama, on the authority of Abu Qabil, who said: “After the Mahdi, there will not be anyone from his family who treats the people justly, and their oppression of the people after the Mahdi will continue until the people pray for the Abbasids and say: I wish they were in their place. So the people will continue like this until they invade Constantinople with their governor, who is a righteous man and hand it over to Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him), and the people will continue to be in prosperity unless The rule of the Abbasids will be destroyed, and if their rule is destroyed, they will not cease to be in turmoil until the Mahdi arises.”

The affairs of the Abbasids will be divided in the year ninety-seven or ninety-nine, and the Mahdi will rise in the year two hundred

The Banu Abbas owned nine hundred months

There must be three sons of Abbas whose first name is Ayn

Abdullah bin Marwan told us ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، And Abu Al-Mughirah ، On the authority of Ibn Ayyash ، He said: Our sheikhs told us ، About heel ، One of them exceeds the other in the hadith ، They said: Ka'b Al-Ahbar and a monk called Joshua met ، He was a scholar and reader of books ، So they thought about the world and what was happening in it ، Joshua said: O Kaab! ، A prophet appears who has a religion whose religion prevails over all religions ، So Joshua said to him: Tell me about their kings, O Kaab, I will believe you and embrace your religion ، Ka'b said: "I find in the Torah that there are twelve kings among them." ، The first of them is a friend who dies ، Then Al-Farouq is killed ، Then the prince is killed ، Then the head of kings dies a death ، Then the owner of the guards dies ، Then a mighty man dies ، Then the owner of the nerve, who is the last of the kings, dies ، Then the owner of the mark dies ، Joshua said: Then tell me about their deafening sedition in which blood is being shed ، And affliction abounds therein ، Ka'b said: This will happen if Ibn Mahiq kills the golden ones ، When he is killed, the affliction falls ، It raises prosperity ، It is lit by intelligent and humble people ، Then they will have four kings from the family of the owner of the sign ، Two kings whose books are not read ، And an angel dies in his bed and stays for a short time ، And a king will come from the valley, and calamity will be on his hands ، On his hands, wreaths are broken ، He lives in Homs for four months ، Then terror comes to him from his land ، So he left ، The calamity falls in the stomach ، If that happened, chaos would break out between them ، The strife of Bani Abbas occurred ، They send eleven passengers to the East, but Allah is not pleased with their deeds ، The people of that time would be afflicted with them, and there would not remain any family among the Arabs without their harm entering upon them ، They come from the East like a bride ، And then their flags appear ، Black flags ، They tie their horses to olive trees ، Allah will kill every tyrant or enemy of theirs at their hands ، Until all that remains is a fugitive or a disappeared person ، Of their family there will be three: Al-Mansour ، And the serial killer ، And the Mahdi ، Joshua said: Who will be their leaders and governors? He said: Those who walk in droves ، And they wear outfits ، Then the murderer blames the people of Morocco for eclipse ، Iram stays at forty-five in the morning ، Then seventy thousand drawn swords will enter it ، Their slogan: Die, die ، Then after that, the incest has two incidents: one in Morocco ، And another in Al-Jawf ، Then the war ends ، Joshua said: How long will their reign last? Ka'b said: Nine times seven ، And at the end of that woe will be theirs ، Joshua said: What is the sign of their destruction? He said: Drought in the East ، And this is in Morocco ، And redness in the stomach ، And Fash died in the kiss ، Then he gathers for the murderer the darkness of the people of that time ، They take their religion as a mockery and a game ، They sell it for dinars and dirhams ، Even if they are where they are looking at their enemy ، They thought they were attacking their country ، I kiss the head of their tyrant ، He didn't know before ، A quarter man ، curly ، Sunken eyes ، Eyebrow supervisor ، Small ، Even if it came to Al-Mansour at the end of that year in which the people of that time gathered to mourn the incest, Al-Mansour died ، They are dispersed in more than one town ، When the news reached them, they struck wherever they were ، So they pledged allegiance to Abdullah ، So Sufyani returns and calls for himself to join the people of Morocco ، They gather for him as they have never gathered for anyone else ، Then he departs from Kufa ، If the resurrection was not from Basra, then most of them would perish from burning and drowning ، And then there will be an eclipse in Kufa ، The two groups meet in a land called Qarqisya ، Their patience is exhausted ، Victory will be lifted from them until they devote themselves ، If the resurrection occurred before sunset, it would have been a minor event ، Then woe to Abdullah from Abdullah ، I fear for you that the yellow flags will come down from Morocco to Egypt. They will have two attacks: one in Palestine ، The other is in the Levant ، Then the Muhajireen leaned on them after a woman from the Quraish had been slaughtered ، If I wanted to name it, I would name it ، They are destroyed, then a rebel named Abdullah rises up ، The most insidious wilderness ، His affairs are on fire in Homs ، It is lit in Damascus ، He leaves in Palestine ، It appears on those who oppose him ، The people of the East will perish at his hands ، His invitation is an evil invitation ، And they killed him the worst ، Owns a woman's pregnancy ، He leaves with three armies to Kufan ، They include verses from Qais ، They save their day ، And an army to Mecca and Medina, and they were struck by an eclipse ، Only two men from Juhayna escaped from them ، A man returns to the Levant ، And a man sets off for Mecca.”
