کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Ibn Aliya told us, on the authority of Awf, on the authority of Abu Al-Mughirah Al-Qawwas, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, he said: “The epics of the people are five, two have passed, and three are in this nation: the epic of the Turks, the epic of the Romans, and the epic of the Dajjal. There is no epic after the epic of the Dajjal.”

Naim told us, Yahya bin Saeed Al-Attar, and Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Abdullah bin Dinar, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “The Turks descend on Amed and drink from the Tigris and Euphrates, and they strive in the peninsula and the people of Islam from Al-Hira are unable to do anything for them. Then Allah sends snow upon them without measure, in which there is a shriek of strong wind and ice, and they are idle, and when they remain for days the leader of the people of Islam rises among the people and says: O people of Islam, A people who give themselves to Allah and see what the people have done, so ten horsemen are appointed and come to them, but they are idle, and they return and say: Allah has destroyed them and has sufficed for you. They have perished from the last of them.”

The Turks will return to the peninsula to water their horses from the Euphrates, then Allah will send a plague upon them and kill them, and only one man will escape.

Ibn Ayyash said: Someone who heard Makhol told me on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him): “The Turks have two outcomes: one is the devastation of Azerbaijan, and one is they go out on the peninsula, encircling the camels, so Allah gives victory to the Muslims. Among them is the greatest slaughter of Allah, and there will be no abandonment after that.”

My nation will be led by people with asy-faced faces and small eyes, as if their faces were hollow, until they joined them in the Arabian Peninsula three times. As for the first leg, those who flee will be saved, the second leg, some will perish and some will be saved, and the third, the illusion of the Turks, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, will be destroyed, to tie their horses to the posts of the Muslim Mosque.

Naim told us, then Ibn Aliyah, Awf told me, on the authority of Abu al-Mughirah al-Qawwas, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, he said: “The epics of the people are five, two have passed, and three have passed in this nation: the epic of the Turks, the epic of the Romans, and the epic of the Dajjal. There is no epic after the Dajjal’s epic.”

The Dajjal will descend on Khuz and Kirman with eighty thousand people, their faces as if they were hammered shields, wearing long robes and wearing hair.

You will drive the Turks out, and nothing will stop them short of a rupture. Among them is the greatest slaughter of Allah

A people with small eyes and slit noses, whose faces look like hammered shields, will bring you out of it, wearing hair, tying their horses to palm trees, and drinking from the water of the Euphrates.

Abu hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying:The last hour will not come before you fight with a people whose sandals are of hair, and the Last hour will not come before you fight with a people who have small eyes, short noses, and whose faces look as if they were shields covered with skin

The first country to be visited by the Arabs is a people with red faces, as if their faces are like hammered shields

They are

The Romans emerge in the Great Epic, and with them are the Turks, Burjan, and Saqlaba

There are three epics, two have passed, and one remains, the Turkish epic on the island

The Turks have two campaigns: one of them is to destroy Azerbaijan, and the second is to start it on the banks of the Euphrates.

The Turks start on the Euphrates River, and it is as if I am with yellow-haired women lining up on the Euphrates River

It is as if I were leaving the ears on two brats until they tied them to the shore of the Euphrates

Among the signs of the Hour is that you will fight a people whose faces are like hammered shields, and you will fight a people whose shoes are covered with hair.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:The Last Hour would not come unless you fight with people whose faces are like hammered shields and the Last Hour would not come until you would fight against those wearing the shoes of hair

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Turks; people with small eyes, red faces, and flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather. The Hour will not be established till you fight with people whose shoes are made of hair
