کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

There is no creation under the firmament of the sky more evil than a barbarian, and for me to give a hook of a whip in charity for the sake of Allah is dearer to me than to free a hundred slaves of barbarians.

I warn you that a trial will come from the East, then a trial will come from the West

Berber women are better than their men. A prophet was sent among them and they killed him, so the women took him to him and buried him

A prophet before me came to this people, so they slaughtered him, cooked him, ate his meat, and drank his broth

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.

He divided evil into seventy parts, making sixty-nine among the Berbers, and one part among the rest of the people. The women of the Berbers are better than their men. He sent among them a prophet, so they killed him, so the women appointed him to him, and he buried him.

A prophet before me came to this people, so they slaughtered him, cooked him, ate his meat, and drank his broth.

The exit of Sufyani after thirty-nine days

Their destruction at the hands of a man of this gender

The people of the Levant and the people of Iraq meet in Al-Has, and the people of Iraq are attacked, and they kill them until they reach their country

Abu Omar 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 (may Allah be pleased with him), on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “If the Sufyani crosses the Euphrates and reaches a place called Aqarqufa, Allah Almighty will erase faith from his heart, and he will be killed with it to a river called Al-Dujail seventy thousand wearing adorned swords, and more, and they will appear on the House of Gold, so they kill the female fighter and the heroes, and open the stomachs of the women, saying: Perhaps she is pregnant with a boy. Women from the Quraysh on the shore of the Tigris are crying out for help to the people of the ships passing by, asking them to carry them until they bring them to the people, so do not carry them out of hatred for the Banu Hashim, so do not hate the Banu Hashim, for among them is the Prophet of Mercy, and among them is the pilot in Paradise. As for the women, when the night overwhelms them, they take refuge in its depths in a place of fear. The immoral people, then the support of victory will come to them until they rescue the offspring and women of Sufyani from Baghdad and Kufa.”

A man from my household will emerge with nine banners

A calamity befalls his family until Allah sends a black banner from the East. Whoever supports it, Allah will help him, and whoever abandons it, Allah will abandon him, until they come to a man whose name is like my name, and he puts them in charge of their affairs, so Allah supports him and gives him victory.

Black flags of Banu Abbas will emerge from the East, then they will stay as long as Allah wills, then small black flags will emerge from the East, fighting a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan and his companions, performing obedience to the Mahdi.

An army comes from the west, seeking this house, until when they are in Al-Bayda, it eclipses them, and whoever was in front of them returns to see what the people did, and what befell them will happen to them, and he follows them behind them to see what they did, and what befell them will befall them. Whoever was hiding it will be hit by what befell them, then Allah Almighty will resurrect each one of them according to his intention.

A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was startled in the state of sleep. We said:Allah's Messenger, you have done something in the state of your sleep which you never did before, Thereupon he said: Strange it is that some people of my Ummah would attack the House (Ka'ba) (for killing) a person who would belong to the tribe of the Quraish and he would try to seek protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain ground they would be sunk. We said: Allah's Messenger, all sorts of people throng the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would be amongst them people who would come with definite designs and those who would come under duress and there would be travellers also, but they would all be destroyed through one (stroke) of destruction. though they would be raised in different states (on the Day of Resurrection). Allah would, however, raise them according to their intention

The Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold and silver, and seven out of every nine will be killed for it. If you reach it, do not approach it.

The fourth trial lasts eighteen years, then it clears up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded, creating a mountain of gold upon which the nation will fall, and seven out of every nine will be killed.

Al-Walid ibn Muslim told us, on the authority of Anbasa al-Qurashi, on the authority of Salama ibn Abi Salamah, on the authority of Shahr ibn Hawshab, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “In Muharram, a caller calls from the sky: Indeed, Allah’s chosen one is so-and-so among His creation, so listen to him and obey him in the year of sound and crowd.”

Abu Yusuf al-Maqdisi told us, on the authority of Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Suleiman, on the authority of Amr ibn Shuaib, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “In Dhul-Qa’dah, the tribes side with one another, and in that year the pilgrims plunder, and it becomes a battle in Mina, in which the dead multiply, and blood is shed in it until their blood flows on the Jamarat Aqaba, until their companion flees, and he is brought between the corner and the shrine and pledges allegiance while he is He hates it, and it is said to him: If you refuse, we will behead you, and he pledges allegiance to him like the number of the people of Badr, and the inhabitant of the sky and the inhabitant of the earth will be satisfied with him.”

In Dhul-Qa'dah, the tribes fight one another, in Dhul-Hijjah the pilgrims loot, and in Muharram a herald calls from the sky.

He leaves Medina for Mecca, and the people extract him from among them, and they pledge allegiance to him between the corner and the Maqam, but he hates it
