کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

I will tell you, I know why he hated it. It was revealed about a man from his family called Abd al-Ilah, or Abdullah, who descends on one of the rivers of the East and builds two cities on it. The river divides them into two, and gathers in them all the stubborn tyrants.

Muhammad bin Muhajir said, and Al-Junaid bin Maimun told me, on the authority of Safwan bin Amr, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “The fourth trial is blind and dark, passing through the sea. Someone says: Mh Mh, and they do not patch it on one side except that it splits on one side. A man in it becomes a believer and comes in the evening an unbeliever, and no one is saved from it except one who prays like the supplication of drowning in the sea. It lasts for twelve years. It clears up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded from a mountain of gold, so they fight over it until seven out of every nine are killed.

The Romans will enter the Holy House with seventy crosses until they demolish it, and obedience will continue to be practiced as long as the caliphate is in the land of Jerusalem and the Levant. The first coast that Allah will be angry with will be eclipsed by Al-Sarfiyya, Caesarea, and Beirut. The Romans and the Levant will rule for forty days from the seashore to the Jordan and Beit Shean. Then the Muslims will gain victory over them. They will reconcile it until their authority over them runs out, and the entire earth will be secure for seven-nine days.
