کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

If you see the yellow flags descending on Alexandria, then descending on the center of Syria, then a village in Damascus called Harasta will be eclipsed.

If the black flags come from the East, and the yellow flags come from the West, until they meet in the navel of Syria, meaning Damascus, there will be calamity, there will be calamity.

Muhammad bin Himyar told us, on the authority of Najib bin Al-Sari, he said: “The people of the Maghreb have two exits: one exit when they reach the bridge of Fustat where they tie their horses, and another exit to the Levant.”

If the people of the Maghreb leave, the Romans will rule the Maghreb, and then Alexandria, Egypt, and the coast of the Levant will be destroyed.

If a trial comes from the East and a trial comes from the West, then they meet in the interior of the Levant, for the interior of the earth on that day is better than its surface.

If the black flags and the yellow flags meet in the middle of the Levant, the interior of the earth is better than its surface

Abu Amr told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Harith, on the authority of Ibn Masoud, he said: “If a man emerges from Fihr gathering Berbers, a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan emerges, and when Fihri reaches his departure, they separate into three groups: a group that will return, a group that will stay with him and walk to the Levant, and a squad that will stay with him and walk to the Levant, and a squad that will go to Hijaz, where they will meet in Wadi Al-Ansal in the Levant, defeat the Berbers, and then fight the people of the Levant.”

If the yellow and black flags clash in the center of Syria, then woe to its inhabitants from the defeated army, then woe to them from the defeated army, and woe to them from the disfigured and accursed.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، He said: “The Berbers come and camp between Palestine and Jordan ، Then the crowds of the East and Syria will march towards them until they stop the tax collector ، A man emerges from Weld Sakhr in weakness ، He throws the Moroccan armies on the Bisan fold and deters them from it ، Then he will meet them the next day and deter them from it ، They side with her ، Then he will meet them on the third day and drive them back to the spring of the wind ، Then the death of their leader comes to them, and they separate into three groups: one group turns back on its heels ، And a group joins the Hijaz ، A band follows Al-Sakhri ، He walks to the rest of their crowd until he comes to Thanyat Fayq ، And they meet her ، Vidal rocks them ، Then you turn to the masses of the East and the Levant and meet them ، He guides them between the reward and the waste ، Until the horses wade in blood ، The people of the Levant kill their president ، They side with Al-Sakhri, who enters Damascus and represents him there ، Banners will emerge from the East, blackened ، They descend on Kufa and their leader hides there ، He does not know his location ، And that army will rise ، Then a man who had been hidden in the depths of the valley comes out and is in command of that army ، Its main source was anger at what Al-Sakhri did to his family ، He marches with the soldiers of the East towards the Levant ، Al-Sakhri reaches his destination and heads the soldiers of the people of Morocco towards him ، They meet the mountain of pebbles ، A lot of world will perish between them ، And the Mashriqi leaves ، The rock follows it and overtakes it in Qarqesya at the complex of the two rivers and they meet ، Their patience exhausts them, and seven of the Levantine soldiers are killed out of every ten ، Then Al-Sakhri's soldiers entered Kufa and attacked its people ، He directs a soldier from the Maghreb to the soldiers from the East next to him ، Then they will bring him their captives ، Perhaps this is the case when the news of the Mahdi’s appearance in Mecca comes to him ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa, and he will be eclipsed by it.” Artah said: “And he will be between the people of the West and the people of the East at the bridge of Fustat for seven days.” ، Then they meet Al-Arish, and the people of the East will be defeated until they reach the Jordan ، Then the Sufyani will come out after them ، The Romans who were in Homs were afraid of the Berbers ، And they say: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.

If the black and yellow flags meet in the middle of the Levant, the interior of the earth is better than its surface

Al-Sufyani wanted to leave a village in the west of the Levant called Andra with seven people

The Sufyani who dies, fighting the first of the black flags and the yellow flags in the navel of the Levant, emerging from the mandarin east of Baysan, on a red camel, wearing a crown, defeats the group twice, then perishes while accepting the tribute, taking the offspring captive, and tearing open the stomachs of the pregnant ones.

As for Ibn al-Khattab being alive, no, but that is if the people approach me and approach me, and a man begins to remember the land that is not in it like the one who flees to it and does not find him, then in that case there is temptation.

If Huda was in the Levant before Al-Bayda, then there is neither Bayda nor Sufyani

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “If the Turks and the Romans meet, and a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, three flags will be raised in the Levant: Al-Aqba’, Al-Ashab, and Al-Sufyani. A man will be besieged in Damascus and he will be killed and those with him, and two men from Banu Abi Sufyan will come out, and the victory will be for the second. If Al-Aqba’s army arrives from Egypt, Al-Sufyani will appear on them with his army, and the Turks will be killed. And the Romans in Qarqisia until the lions of the earth are satisfied with their meat.”

Al-Walid told us, he said: Abu Abdullah told me, on the authority of Muslim bin Al-Akhil, on the authority of Abdul Karim Abi Umayyah, on the authority of Muhammad Ibn Al-Hanafiyyah, he said: “If they disagreed among themselves, three flags were raised in the Levant: the flag of the spotted, the flag of the red-haired, and the flag 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 Sa’id bin Al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, who said: “Then people will disagree over four groups: two men in the Levant, a man from the Al-Hakam family who is blue and red-haired, a man from Mudar, short and mighty, Al-Sufyani, and Al-A’idhi in Mecca, so that is four groups.”

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.

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, who said: “If the owners of the black banners disagree, one of the villages of Iram will be eclipsed, and the western side of its mosque will fall, then three banners will emerge in the Levant: the reddish, the spotted, and the Sufyani. The Sufyani will emerge from the Levant, and the spotted from Egypt, and the Sufyani will appear over them.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, who said: “The people disagree in Safar, and the people separate into four groups: a man in Mecca who is seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant, one of whom is Sufyani and the other is from the progeny of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt who is a mighty man, so those are four.”

Ibn Lahi’ah said, and Abu Zar’ah told me, on the authority of Ibn Zarir, who said: “They differ over four people: a tyrant who pledges allegiance to himself as a caliphate, giving the people a hundred dinars, and two men in the Levant who give what no one gave before them, so whichever of them conquers Damascus gets the Levant.”

Ibn Lahi’ah said, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Abu Ruman, on the authority of Ali, he said: “Three flags will emerge in the Levant: the red-haired, the spotted, and the Sufyani. The Sufyani will emerge from the Levant, and the spotted one will emerge from Egypt, and the Sufyani will appear over them.”

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abu Qabil, on the authority of Sa’id ibn al-Aswad, on the authority of Dhu Qarnat, he said: “The people differed in Safar, and separated into four groups: a man in Mecca who was seeking refuge, and two men in the Levant: one of them was the Sufyani, the other was from the birth of al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt, a tyrant. So those are four. Then a man from Kindah gets angry and goes out to those in the Levant. To the one in Mecca.”

The people and the Arabs will disperse in Berber over four banners, and Quda'ah will prevail, and a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan will prevail over them.

If Al-Aqwas appears with a people with strong bodies, then there will be a great battle between them, then the cursed Al-Akhus Al-Sufyani appears and fights them both, and he appears against them all, then Mansour Al-Yamani marches to them from Sana’a with his soldiers, and he has a strong outburst, killing people like a pre-Islamic fight, so he and Al-Akhus meet, and their banners are yellow, and their clothes are colored, and there is an intense fight between them, then Al-Akhus Al-Sufyani appears against him, then the Romans appear, and go out to the Levant, then he appears. Al-Akhus, then Al-Kindi appears with a good sign, and when he reaches Tel Sama, he arrives, then he marches to Iraq, and before that twelve flags are raised in Kufa, known and attributed, and a man from the descendants of Al-Hassan or Al-Hussein is killed in Kufa, calling for his father, and a man from the loyalists appears, and if his situation becomes clear and he goes to extremes in killing, Al-Sufyani kills him.
