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.

In Ramadan, there is a sign in the sky for the two nights, whether they are empty or remaining, and in the important month of Shawwal, and in Dhul-Qa’dah, the intense weather, and in Dhul-Hijjah, calamities, and in Muharram, and what is Muharram? In Ramadan there is a sign in the sky like a bright pillar, in Shawwal there is calamity, in Dhul-Qa’dah there is annihilation, and in Dhul-Hijjah the pilgrim in ihram plunders, and what is the ihram?

There will be a sign in the month of Ramadan, then a gang will appear in Shawwal, then there will be a turmoil in Dhul-Qa'dah, then the pilgrim will be robbed in Dhul-Hijjah, then mahrams will be violated in Muharram, then there will be a voice in Safar, then there will be tribal conflict in the months of Rabi', then there will be all the astonishment between Jumada and Rajab, then a camel with a hood is better than a woman who fetches a hundred thousand.

Al-Walid told us, on the authority of Anbasa al-Qurashi, on the authority of Salamah ibn Abi Salamah, on the authority of Shahr ibn Hawshab, who said: I was informed that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “In Ramadan there will be a voice, and in Shawwal there will be a hum, and in Dhul-Qa’dah the tribes will fight each other, and in Dhul-Hijjah the pilgrim will prepare, and in Muharram a caller will call from the sky: Indeed, Allah’s chosen one is so-and-so from His creation, so listen to him and obey him.”
