کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Walid told us, on the authority of a sheikh, on the authority of Jabir, on the authority of Abu Jaafar, he said: “They will be eclipsed, and only two men from Kalb will be saved from them. Their names are: Wabar and Wabir. Their faces will turn in their backs.”

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali, (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “If an army descends in search of those who went out to Mecca and they camp in Al-Bayda, they will be swallowed up and destroyed. This is the Almighty’s saying: {And if you could see, when they panicked, they did not escape, and they were seized from a nearby place} [Saba: 51] from under their feet. them, and it is He who narrates their news to people.”

He sends an army of twelve thousand to the city and destroys them in Al-Bayda

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “Two missions will be sent from the people of Kufa: one to Marv, and one to Hijaz, and a third of his mission to Hijaz will be eclipsed, and a third will be transformed, their faces will be turned between their shoulders, they will see their backs as they see their private parts, they will walk backwards with their heels, as they used to walk with the tops of their feet, and a third will remain and they will march to Mecca.”

Saeed Abu Othman told us, on the authority of Jabir, on the authority of Abu Jaafar, he said: “When Sufyani was informed of the killing of the pure soul, and he was the one prescribed for it, then the majority of Muslims fled from the sanctuary of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the sanctuary of Allah Almighty in Mecca, and when he was informed of that, he sent soldiers to Medina with a man of Kalb on them, until when they reached Al-Bayda, they were eclipsed, and their prince escaped, and they mentioned that he was from Madhhij, and some of them said: from Kalb.”

No one escapes from them except a good tidings and a warner. As for the good tidings, he comes to the Mahdi in Mecca and his companions and informs them of what happened to them, and the witness of that is in his face with his face turned to his back, and they believe him when they see the turning of his face, and they know that the people have been eclipsed by them, and the second is like that, he has turned his face to his back. The Sufyani comes and tells him what was revealed to his companions and he believes it and knows that it is true because of the sign he sees in it, and they are two men of a dog.

If an army collapses in Al-Bayda, it is a sign of the emergence of the Mahdi

The sign of the Mahdi’s exit is that if the army of Al-Baida is eclipsed, it is a sign of the Mahdi’s exit

The sign of the Mahdi is when the Turks descend upon you, and your caliph who collects money dies, and a weak person is appointed as his successor, and he is deposed two years after his pledge of allegiance, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and the departure of three people from the Levant, and the departure of the people of the Maghreb to Egypt, and that is the leadership of the Sufyani.

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “After the eclipse, a caller will call from the sky: The truth is in the family of Muhammad, at the beginning of the day, then a caller will call at the end of the day: The truth is in the son of Jesus, and that is similar to Satan.”

Three members of the Quraish will go to Mecca from the Sufyani army, and they will be looked at. When the eclipse reaches them, they will gather in Mecca to those three people from the country, and one of them will pledge allegiance unwillingly.

Al-Walid and Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, he said: Abu Zur’ah told me, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali, he said: “When the seeker in Mecca hears of the eclipse, he will go out with twelve thousand, including Al-Abdal, until they come down to Ilya. Then the one who sent the army when he hears the news of Ilya’ says: By Amr, Allah has made this man an example. I have sent to him what I have sent, so they will disperse in the land. This is a lesson and an insight, and the Sufyani will lead him to him.” Then he goes out until he meets a dog, and they are his uncles, and they reproach him for what he has done and say: “May Allah cover you with a shirt, but you took it off?” He says: “What do you think? Should I give him the pledge of allegiance?” They say: “Yes.” Then he comes to Ilya and says: “I will not do it.” He says: “Yes.” He says: “Do you like me to remove you?” He says: “Yes.” Then he says: “This is a man who has taken off my obedience.” Then he orders him to be slaughtered on a slab Ilya, then he walks to Kalb, and he who is disappointed is the one who is disappointed on the day Kalb is looted.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Al-Haytham bin Abdul Rahman, he said: Someone who heard Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) told me: “If Al-Sufyani sends an army to the Mahdi and he overwhelms them in Al-Bayda, and this reaches the people of the Levant, they say to their caliph: The Mahdi has left, so pledge allegiance to him and enter into obedience to him, otherwise we will kill you. Then he will be sent to him with the pledge of allegiance, and the Mahdi will march until he descends on Jerusalem, and the treasuries will be transferred to him, and the Arabs, Persians, and people of war will enter.” And the Romans and others obeyed him without fighting, until mosques were built in Constantinople and below it, and a man from his household in the East would emerge before him, carrying the sword on his shoulder for eight months, killing and mutilating, and heading to Jerusalem, and not reaching it until he died.”

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Khaled bin Abi Imran, on the authority of Hanash bin Abdullah, he heard Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) say: “If the Sufyani army was eclipsed, the ruler of Mecca would say: This is the sign that you were informing about. They will march to the Levant, and he will inform the ruler of Damascus and send him his pledge of allegiance and he will pledge allegiance to him. Then a dog will come to him after that and they will say: What have you done? You went to our pledge of allegiance and took it off and made it for him? Then he says: What should I do? Give me the pledge of allegiance. The people say: We are with you, so pledge your pledge of allegiance. He sends a message to Al-Hashimi and he demands his pledge of allegiance from him. Then they fight him and Al-Hashemi defeats them. On that day, he who focuses his spear on a living dog will be his. The one who is disappointed is the one who will be disappointed on the day a dog is plundered.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “The Mahdi will emerge from Mecca after the eclipse with three hundred and fourteen men, equal to the number of the people of Badr, and he and the companion of the Sufyani army will meet, and the Mahdi’s companions will meet on that day their Paradise Al-Barada’, meaning their terrace. It was called before that: the Day of Al-Barada’, and it is said: On that day he will hear a voice from the sky calling out: Indeed, the guardians of Allah are the companions of so-and-so, meaning the Mahdi, so the plan will be on The companions of the Sufyani, and they fight, and nothing remains of them except the fugitive, and they flee to the Sufyani and inform him, and the Mahdi goes out to the Levant, and the Sufyani receives the Mahdi with his pledge of allegiance, and people rush to him from every direction, and the earth will be filled with justice as it was filled with injustice.”

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، About Artaat ، He said: “Al-Sakhri enters Kufa ، Then he will be informed of the appearance of the Mahdi in Mecca ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa ، It will be destroyed and none of them will be saved except a herald of the Mahdi ، A rocky portent ، The Mahdi will arrive from Mecca ، Al-Sakhri is from Kufa towards the Levant ، As if they were betting horses ، It is preceded by rocky ، Then another mission will be sent from the Levant to the Mahdi ، They will meet the Mahdi in the land of Hijaz ، They pledge allegiance to him as a pledge of guidance ، They continue with him until they reach the border of the Levant, which is between the Levant and the Hijaz ، And he resides there ، And it is said to him: Execute ، He hated Hijaz and said: Write to my cousin ، If he abandons his obedience, then I am your friend ، When the letter reached Al-Sakhri, he handed it over to him and pledged allegiance ، The Mahdi walked until he came to Jerusalem ، The Mahdi will not leave a portion of the land in the hands of a man from the Levant without returning it to the people of the Dhimmah ، He returned all Muslims to jihad ، He stays there for three years ، Then a man emerges from a dog called Kinana ، A planet helps him among a group of his people ، Until Al-Sakhri comes and says: We pledged allegiance to you and supported you, so that when you took power, you pledged allegiance to our enemy? Let them go out and fight ، He says: Who should I take out? He says: There is no longer an Amriya whose mother is older than you unless she joins you ، And no one with a shoe or a hoof will leave you behind ، He leaves and all of Amer leaves with him ، Until Besan comes down ، Al-Mahdi sends a banner to them ، The greatest banner in the time of the Mahdi was one hundred men ، They descend on Abraham's father ، So she describes her horses, her men, her camels, and her sheep ، If the two horses gloat ، Her dog is gone ، He took the stone and slaughtered it on the Safa, which lies on the face of the earth, near the church which is in the depths of the valley at the end of the stairs of Tur Zeta ، The bridge to the right of the valley on Al-Safa, which crosses the face of the earth ، It is slaughtered just as a sheep is slaughtered ، The one who is disappointed is the one who is disappointed on a dog’s day ، Until the virgin slave girl is sold for eight dirhams.”

In his time, there will be trembling, distortion, and collapse. The beginning of his time is for you, O people of Yemen, and the end of it is upon you, until he orders the expulsion of the people of Yemen, the Levant, and Al-Hamra, and they go out, until they end up at the outskirts of the countryside from where they were expelled.

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.

Abu Ayoub told us ، About Artaat ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “A man from the Quraysh will be appointed as successor from the evil of creation ، He descends on Jerusalem ، The treasuries and noble people are transferred to him ، They are arrogant in it ، And his veil becomes tighter ، Their money is abundant ، Until one man feeds them for a month and the other for two or three months ، So that their lean person will be like the fat of all other people ، They grow up therein like calves reared on stalls ، And the Caliph extinguishes our age that was known ، And he innovates our age that was not ، Evil appears in his time ، Adultery appears ، And drink alcohol in public ، He frightened the scholars of his time with fear ، Even if a man rode a camel and then traveled around all the regions, he would not find a scholar among the scholars to tell him a hadith of knowledge out of fear. ، And in his time, there will be metamorphosis and eclipse ، Islam is strange ، The one who adheres to his religion is like holding a burning ember ، Or like the map of astragalus on a dark night ، Until it became his business to send his daughter through the market with the condition ، It has blankets of gold on it ، A garment that does not hide her, whether coming or going, due to its elegance ، If any of the people uttered a single word to denounce him, I would strike his neck ، It begins to deprive people of livelihood ، Then he prevents them from giving ، Then after that, he orders the expulsion of the people of Yemen from the Levant ، So the condition brings them out separately ، Do not let one soldier reach another until they have expelled them from the entire countryside ، They end up at Busra ، And that is at the end of his life ، The people of Yemen correspond with each other until they meet like an autumn gathering ، They set out from where they were to each other, team by team ، Then they say: Where will you go and leave your land and your immigrants? Their minds agree to pledge allegiance to one of them ، While they were saying: We pledge allegiance to so-and-so ، Rather, so-and-so ، When they heard a voice neither human nor jinn said: Pledge allegiance to so-and-so ، He names them ، So he was a man they were satisfied with ، I was convinced of it ، It is neither from nor from ، Then they would send a group of them to the mighty of Quraysh ، He kills them and brings back one of their men who tells them what happened ، Then the people of Yemen march to it ، And the mighty of Quraysh have twenty thousand of the police ، Then the people of Yemen marched, and Lakhm, Judham, Amila, and Jadis fought against them ، They bring them food and drink ، And a little and a lot ، On that day, they will be a help to Yemen, just as Joseph was a help to his brothers in Egypt ، By the one in whose hand is the same heel ، Lakhm, Jadham, Amila, and Jadis are among the people of Yemen ، O people of Yemen ، If they come to you seeking their lineage from you, pray for them ، They are from you ، Then they all walk until they overlook Jerusalem ، Then the mighty of Quraysh met them ، In crowds ، The people of Yemen defeat them ، And they do not support the people of Yemen if a man is satisfied with his clothing in battle.”

A third disbelieved, and a third returned in doubt, and they were destroyed

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.

Safwan said: Shurayh ibn Ubaid and Salim ibn Aamir al-Khaba’iri told me that Ka’b used to say: “If the great epic was the Roman epic, a group of you escaped and joined the enemy, and another group went out and surrendered to you. Allah will destroy some of them and send birds upon those who remained of them to snatch their sight. Then the remaining group will remain. O servants of Allah. Whoever of you realizes that and is overcome by self-restraint, let him enter under His reward.” Or he should hold on to the pillar of his tent and be patient, for Allah Almighty is the supporter of the remaining group. That is when the Romans weaken you and covet you. The companion of the Romans says: When you wake up, mount a hoofed animal, then give them one step. This religion is never mentioned on earth, meaning Islam. He said: Then Allah Almighty becomes angry at that, until he is in the fourth heaven, and in it is the weapon and torment of Allah, and he says: There is nothing left but me and my religion, Islam, and my people. Yemen and Qais, I will help my servants today, and the hand of Allah is between the two ranks, when He inclines it against a people, it will be against them. O people of Yemen, do not hate Qays, and O Qays, love the people of Yemen, for Qays is among the best of people in soul and morals, and by the One in whose hand is the soul of the Kab, no one will dispute the religion of Islam that day except you, O people of Yemen and Qays, and Qays on that day will kill enemies and not be killed, and the Azd will kill enemies and be killed, or He said: And they do not kill, and Lakhm and Leprosy kill enemies but are not killed.

Ibn Wahb told us ، On the authority of Ibn Lahia ، Walith bin Saad ، On the authority of Khalid bin Yazid ، On the authority of Saeed bin Abi Hilal ، On the authority of Abu Salamah ، On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas ، He said: “A boy will grow up in the Romans who will grow young in one year, as young as a boy in ten years ، So it will be in Roman land and the Romans will own it for themselves ، He says: Until when will we defeat these people over a part of our land? I will go out and fight them until I defeat them for what they have defeated, or they will defeat me for what remains under my feet. ، He will depart in seven thousand ships until he is between Akka and Al-Arish ، Then he sets fire to his ships ، Then the people of Egypt will leave Egypt ، The people of the Levant are from the Levant ، Until they reach the Arabian Peninsula ، That was the day when Abu Hurairah used to say: Woe to the Arabs because of the evil that has approached ، On that day, the rope and the helmet are dearer to the man than his family and wealth ، The Arabs seek help from their Bedouins ، Then they walk until they reach the depths of Antioch ، It will be the greatest of epics until the horses go to their knees ، And Allah raises victory over everyone until the angels say: O Lord ، Do you not support your faithful servants? He says: Until their martyrs increase ، A third is killed ، A third is returned ، And a third is patient ، Then Allah will lose the third that is returned ، The Romans say: We will continue fighting you until you come out to us, every few of you who are not among you ، Then the non-Arabs come out and say: Allah forbid that we go into disbelief after Islam ، That is when Allah Almighty becomes angry and strikes with his sword ، And stabbed with his spear ، There is no informant left among them except he is killed ، Then they move on ، They do not pass by a city without opening it with the takbir ، Until they come to the city of Rum and find its bay, Batha ، Then Allah Almighty will open it for them ، On that day, such-and-such and such a virgin will be removed ، ، ، They meet him at Elia's house ، They find that he has confined eight thousand women and twelve thousand fighters there ، ، ، ،

By the One in whose hand is my soul, until they destroy the Romans all together, and only an informer escapes. Then they set off for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay with Batha. Then they open it with the takbir. They say the takbir, and one of its walls falls. Then they say the takbir another, and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek protection from Rome and open it with the takbir, and on that day they will sway their spoils. Enough of deceit

Abd al-Razzaq told us, on the authority of Muammar, on the authority of al-Zuhri, Amr ibn Abi Sufyan al-Thaqafi told me that a man from the Ansar told him, on the authority of some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), on the authority of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “While the Muslims in the Levant were besieged by the Dajjal in one of its mountains, wanting to kill the Dajjal, when darkness overtook them in which no one could see his hand, and the son of Mary would descend and lose sight of them. And among the most prominent of them is a man against his nation, and they say: Who are you, O servant of Allah? He says: I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger, and His spirit and His word, Jesus, son of Mary. They chose between one of three: between Allah Almighty sending a torment from the sky upon the Dajjal and his soldiers, or causing them to collapse into the earth, or placing your weapons on them, and stopping their weapons. Then they say: This, O Messenger of Allah, will heal our chests and our souls. He said: Then on that day he will see the great, tall, corroded Jew. When he sees the Son of Mary, the Dajjal melts, and his sword hand does not diminish from the trembling, so they descend upon them, and the Dajjal melts when he sees the son of Mary, just as bullets melt until he reaches him or Jesus overtakes him and kills him.”
