کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

If you hear of people coming from the East who are clever, and the people admire their appearance, then the Hour has overshadowed you

Do not be arrogant towards you, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, if the world were one day, Allah would lengthen that day until the caliphate would be for Banu Hashim.

After the destruction of the Umayyads, the bringer of beasts will come, and the people of the earth will gather to him from its four corners, and Allah will punish this nation with them

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us, Hariz bin Othman told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Marthad Abi Al-Aliyah, who said: I was sitting with Sharhabeel bin Dhi Hamaya at the palace of Ibn Uthal, when an old old man of the people passed by him, with his eyebrows falling over his eyes, leaning on a staff. He said: Come, old man. So he sat down to him and said: How far have you been in your mind? He said: “Persians. I saw them in this city, sitting, circled, talking, saying: The Muslim people of this land will appear, and Allah will grant victory.” They have treasuries on land and sea, they are known by their quality by the length of their hair and their spears, and by their clothing. He will be the last king among them. They will be killed with swords. Money and a lot of food will be poured on their tables, but that will not satisfy them.”

A man from the people of the East comes out calling for the family of Muhammad, and he is the farthest of people from them. He sets up black signs, the first of which is victory, and the last of which is disbelief. He is followed by the vulgarity of the Arabs, the lowliest of the loyalists, the ungrateful slaves, and the starving horizons. Their faces are black, and their religion is polytheism, and most of them are uncircumcised, and do you not realize it, O Abu Abd al-Rahman? A temptation called Al-Halaqa, which destroys religion, in which the honest Arabs, the righteous loyalists, the owners of treasures, and the jurists will perish, and less than a few will be revealed.

The Banu Umayyad will continue to remain steadfast in their affairs until the black banners emerge from the East and make them permissible

A black flag will emerge from Khorasan and will remain visible until their destruction comes from where it began from Khorasan

Their destruction is where it began

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:"Black standards will come from Khurasan, nothing shall turn them back until they are planted in Jerusalem

Iraq will soon be in a state of war, the Levant will be torn to pieces, and Egypt will be scattered and the wasteland will be destroyed, then the matter will come down.

They will be destroyed if they disagree among themselves. The first sign of the cessation of their rule is a disagreement between them. The people will continue to be well in prosperity as long as the rule of the Abbasids is not ended. If their rule is ended, they will continue to be in turmoil until the Mahdi arises.

The owners of the black flags are still stiff-necked, even after they appear to disagree among themselves

Their matter remains clear until the pledge of allegiance is given to two of their boys, and when they reach that point, they disagree among themselves, and their disagreement is prolonged, until three banners are raised in the Levant, and when they are raised, it is the reason for the cessation of their rule.

You will be followed by evil imams, so if they separate on three banners, know that it is their destruction

The owners of the black banners continued to stiffen their necks until they disagreed with each other and disagreed with each other, so 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. I don’t know. This is what I heard.

The black banners that emerge from Khorasan continue to fly in victory until they disagree among themselves. If they disagree among themselves, three banners are raised in the Levant.

If the Abbas family disagrees among themselves, it is the first thing their matter will be destroyed

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 the owners of the black banners disagreed among themselves, a village in Iram, called Harasta, would be eclipsed, and the three banners would emerge in the Levant at that time.

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.

A man and his son from Banu Hashim are seventy-two years old

Banu Abbas ruled Alfa for only nine months, and woe to them after that, and after that, woe, woe after that

The Banu Abbas reign until the people despair of goodness, then their affairs become diversified. If you find nothing but a scorpion’s hole, enter it, for there will be a long-lasting evil among the people, then their rule will disappear and the Mahdi will arise.

If the fifth of my family dies, there will be chaos, the seventh will die, and then so on until the Mahdi arises. He is Ibn Al-Afar, meaning Aaron.

Three of the Abbasids must have owned it, the first of their names being Ayn
