کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

I found its description in the books, that the Children of Israel fought with it nine times until they were destroyed, and that the Arabs would fight with it the tenth time until they were destroyed, or they would throw stones with which the Children of Israel fought.

There will be a trial, after which there will be another. The first in the afterlife is nothing but the fruit of a whip, followed by sword flies. Then there will be a trial in which all forbidden things are permissible. The nation will unite in its goodness. It will come to him easily while he is sitting in his house.

Shall I not tell you about the temptation of sending?

Hold six before the Hour, the first of which is the death of your Prophet, the second is the conquest of Jerusalem, the third is a tribulation that will enter every line of poetry and verse, the fourth is two deaths among people like the shedding of sheep, the fifth is that money will overflow among you until a man is given a hundred dinars and he is displeased with it, and the sixth is a truce that will be between you and the Banu al-Asfar and they will march to you with eighty banners, under each banner twelve thousand.

Hushaym narrated to us, on the authority of Mujalid, he said: Al-Sha’bi narrated to us, on the authority of Silah bin Zufar, he heard Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, and a man said to him: Has the Dajjal appeared? Hudhayfah said: “As for those among you who are companions of Muhammad, ﷺ, no, by Allah, he will not come out until some people wish him to come out, and he will not come out until his exit is more beloved to some people than drinking cold water on a hot day. And there will be among you, O nation, four temptations: the speckled, the dark, and so-and-so, and so-and-so, and the fourth will hand you over to the Dajjal, and two groups will fight with this excrement. I do not care which one I throw with my quiver’s arrow.”

Busr bin Sa'eed said:During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "I testify that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running."' He said: "What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son

It will be a temptation in which the minds of men will be twisted until you can hardly see a sane man

A man fights there without knowing whether he is fighting right or wrong

Trials spread over hearts like the width of mats, and he said with his hand like this

If temptation was presented to the hearts, then any heart that denies it the first time will have a white spot on it, and any heart that does not deny it will have a black spot on it. Then it will be a tribulation and it will be presented to the hearts. If the one who denied it the first time denies it, a white spot will be on it, and if the one who did not deny it the first time does not deny it, a black spot will be made on it. Then it will be a temptation and it will be presented to the hearts, and if the one who denied it twice denies it, it will be on him. A white spot, and the description intensified, so no temptation ever harmed him, and if the one who did not deny it the first two times did not deny it, a black spot was placed on him and his whole heart became black and dulled, then he relapsed and did not know what was good, nor did he deny what was wrong.

How can you do if you see what is good as wrong, and what is wrong as good? Yes

One of the signs of the Hour is that minds will diminish, relatives will become weak, and anxiety will increase

After me, my nation will be afflicted with tribulations in which a man’s heart will die just as his body will die

If a people is accused of temptation, and if there were prophets among them, they would be tempted. His mind is taken away from every person with reason, from every person with an opinion, his opinion, and from every person with understanding, his understanding. So they stay as long as Allah wills, and when Allah appears, He returns to them their minds, their opinion, and their understanding, so they yearn for what they missed, for what they had.

It takes away the minds of most of the people of that time, and leaves behind a group of people, some of whom think they are on to something but they are not

Ibn al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of al-Mubarak bin Fadala, on the authority of al-Hasan, on the authority of Usayd bin al-Mushmis bin Muawiyah, who said: I heard Abu Musa al-Ash’ari similar to it, and the Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, did not mention it except at the end: As our Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, entrusted us.

I fear for you a trial like smoke, in which a man's heart will die just as his body will die

When Cain killed Abel, Allah distorted his mind and deprived him of his heart, so he remained lost until he died.

To expose your heart to good and evil, but you do not know which one to ride

A time will come upon people when a man will see, and in the evening he will not see with his blade

These are temptations that have spread like pieces of a dark night. Whenever messengers go away, messengers come in them. A man’s heart dies as his body dies.

O people, this is a devastating trial that you leave the wise one in as if he was born yesterday. It comes to you from your place of safety, like a stomach ailment. You do not know where it will come.

Receive good news of a vast world that will eat away at your faith. Whoever of you was certain of his Lord on that day will receive a white, stained trial, and whoever of you was in doubt about his Lord will receive a dark, black trial. Then Allah did not care which valley he took.

Among the signs of calamity and signs of the Hour are that minds become alienated, dreams diminish, worries increase, signs of truth are raised, and injustice appears.

In the fifth, blind, deaf, and devastating fitnah, people will become like animals
