کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Masar, on the authority of Aoun bin Abdullah, he said: “While a man was in Egypt during the turmoil of Ibn al-Zubayr, he was making fun of the ground when a man stood up to him and said to him: What are you talking to yourself, father of the world? He said: Rather, do you think about what has befallen the people? He said: Allah has saved you from it by thinking about it, from the one who asked Allah and He did not give it, or relied on Him and He was not sufficient for it.”

The best money on that day is a good horse and a good weapon, with which the servant may travel wherever he remains

Whoever is overtaken by temptation must remember it inactively

The best people in turmoil are a man who takes the head of his horse to frighten the enemy and make them afraid, or a man who is isolated and fulfills the rights of Allah Almighty upon him.

The best people in turmoil are a man who eats from the droppings of his sword in the name of Allah, and a man on a high mountain who eats from the messengers of his sheep.

Things will happen, and whoever is satisfied with them among those who are absent from them is like one who witnessed them, and whoever dislikes them from those who witnessed them is like one who was absent from them

A man witnesses a sin being committed and dislikes it, so he is like one who was absent from it, and he is absent from it and accepts it, so he is like one who witnessed it.

If you see an evil and you cannot do anything else to do it, it is sufficient for you that Allah Almighty knows that you denounce it in your heart

The man remains silent during the temptation, so nothing appears from him

In that time, every believer will be saved from sleep

Muhammad bin Himyar told us, on the authority of Al-Saqr bin Rustam, he said: Al-Alaa bin Suleiman told me, he said: I heard Abu Qabil say: “If you hear, or, if you come, this pulpit, meaning the pulpit of Egypt, and it reads to Abdullah: Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then you are about to hear Abdullah: Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful.”

Muhammad bin Abdullah told us, on the authority of Abd al-Salam bin Maslama, he heard Abu Qabil say: “If it was recited on the pulpit of Egypt: From Abdullah Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, it would only take a short time until it was recited: From Abdullah Abd al-Rahman, Commander of the Faithful, and he is the ruler of the Maghreb, and he is worse than a king.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah Al-Amri, on the authority of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to a people from the people of Egypt: “If a letter comes to you from the East reading to you: From Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then wait for another letter to come to you from the West, reading to you: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful. By the One in whose hand is Hudhayfah’s soul, you and they will fight at the bridge, and he will expel you from the land of Egypt and the land of The Levant is blasphemy, blasphemy, and the Arab woman will be sold on the steps of Damascus for twenty-five dirhams.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Salamah bin Khalid Al-Yazani, on the authority of Abu Saba Utbah bin Tamim Al-Tanukhi, who said: “Kingdom belongs to the Abbasids until a letter read in Egypt reaches you: From Abdullah Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful. If that is the beginning of the demise of their kingdom and the end of their term.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, and Abu Asim Yunus Al-Tanukhi told me, on the authority of Ismail bin Al-Ala bin Muhammad Al-Kalbi, on the authority of his father, who said: “If a letter is read to the Abbasids at the beginning of the day: From Abdullah Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then wait for a letter to be read to you at the end of the day: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If a man from the Abbasids called Abdullah reigns, and he is the one with the Eye of the Hereafter among them, with it they open it and with it they seal it, then he is the key to the sword of annihilation. If a letter is read for him in the Levant: From Abdullah Abdullah Commander of the Faithful, you will soon be informed of a letter that has been read on the pulpit of Egypt: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman Commander of the Faithful. If that happens, the people of the East and the people of the West will rush to the Levant as a betting horse, seeing that the kingship will not be fulfilled. Except for those who control the Levant, everyone says: Whoever conquers it has captured the kingdom.”

Woe to Abdullah from Abdullah, woe to Abdullah from Abdul Rahman

If the yellow flags enter Egypt and gather in the bridge, wait until the people of the East and the people of the West mount an army and fight with it seven times, and there will be as much blood between them as there was in all the strife, and then the people of the East will be defeated until they put them down at Ramla.

Let a man called Abd al-Rahman come out with the people of the Maghrib until Homs comes and ascends to its pulpit

It is necessary for the Abbasids to have three sons, the first of whose names is Ayn

If the Turks revolt against the men of the black banners and fight them, the reins of their animals will not dry out until the people of Morocco leave.

He sought refuge in Allah from this greater and more reassuring temptation of the East

He sought refuge in Allah in his prayers from the temptation of Morocco

The people of Morocco must have a state of infidelity

He owns the people of Morocco, and they are worse than a king
