کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

The leaders of the Mahdi are the best of people. The people who supported him and pledged allegiance to him were from the people of Kufan ​​and Yemen, and the Abdal of the Levant. His leader was Gabriel, and his leader was Michael. He is beloved among creation. Allah Almighty will extinguish blind strife, and the earth will be secure, so much so that a woman will perform Hajj with five women who do not have a man with her. She does not fear anything except Allah. She gives the earth her alms, and the sky her blessing.

The Mahdi is only from the Quraysh, and the caliphate is only among them, except that he has origin and lineage in Yemen

Al-Mahdi dies a death, then the people will follow him after him, a man from his family in whom there is good and evil, and his evil is greater than his good. He angers the people, calls them to disunity after the group, his survival is short, a man from his family revolts against him and kills him, and the people after him fight intensely, and the one who killed him after him remains for a short time, then he dies a death, then a man from Mudar from the east follows them, he makes the people infidels, and expels them from their religion, the people of Yemen fight fiercely in Mesopotamia. Allah will defeat him and those with him

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid al-Tanukhi, on the authority of al-Zuhri, who said: “The Mahdi dies, then the people fall into strife after him, and a man from Banu Makhzum comes to them and pledges allegiance to him. He stays for a while, then withholds provision and finds no one to change it for him. Then he withholds giving and finds no one to change it for him. He descends on Jerusalem, and he and his companions are like rearing calves, and their women walk in golden ducks, and clothes of gold.” They hide, and he finds no one to attack him, so he orders the expulsion of the people of Yemen: Qada`ah, Madhaj, Hamdan, Himyar, Azd, Ghassan, and all who are called from Yemen. So he expels them until they descend on the reefs of Palestine, so that Jadis, Lakhm, Judham, and the people return to them in droves from those mountains with food and drink, so that they may be relieved just as Joseph was relief to his brothers, when a herald called from the sky, not a human or a jinn: Pledge your allegiance. So-and-so, do not return on your heels after the migration, and they look but do not recognize the man. Then he calls three, then he pledges allegiance to Al-Mansur, so he sends ten delegations to Al-Makhzoumi, and he kills nine and leaves one, then he sends five, and he kills four and leaves one, then he sends three, and he kills two and leaves one, and he marches to him, and Allah grants him victory over him, so Allah kills him and those with him, and only the fugitive escapes, and he does not leave a Quraysh without killing him, and then he seeks a Quraysh, but there is no Just as a man today seeks someone from Jurhum and is not found, so you kill Quraysh and they are not found again.”

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “The people of Yemen are fighting fiercely in Mesopotamia ، Allah will defeat him and those with him ، The people of the East and those with him are terrified only by the dead floating on the river ، They know of their defeat ، Their rider heads to Yemen as they descend between the two rivers ، Then Allah Almighty and those with him will appear ، And people's affairs will be fixed ، Their words come together happily ، Then they walk until they reach the Levant ، They stay for a period of time in a righteous state ، Then Qais revolts against them ، The people of Yemen kill them until anyone thinks that there is no Qais left ، Then a man from the people of Yemen rises and says: Allah, Allah, for your brothers ، Allah and the rest ، Then Qays went with those who remained of it until they came down between the two rivers ، They gather a great crowd ، They will be put in charge of a man from Banu Makhzum ، Then the governor of Yemen dies ، Qais rejoices at his death ، The Makhzoumi continued until the last of them crossed the Euphrates, and the Makhzoumi died ، Yemen will become separate ، Measure separately ، Then the loyalists get angry, and they are the majority of people on that day ، They say: Come, let us appoint a man from the people of religion to me ، They will send a group of people from Yemen ، And a bunch of harmful ، And a group of people who are loyal to Jerusalem ، They recite the Book of Allah Almighty and ask Him for good ، Then those people return, having appointed a man from among the loyalists as their guardian ، So woe to the people in the Levant and its land due to his guardianship ، He goes to Mudar and wants to fight them ، Then a man from Morocco walks ، A tall, powerful man with broad shoulders ، He kills whoever he meets until he enters the Holy House ، Then the animal hits him ، He dies a death ، So the world will be as evil as it was ، Then after him comes a man from Mudar ، He kills righteous people ، Ominous cursed ، Then after him comes Al-Madari Al-Omani Al-Qahtani ، He follows the path of his brother Mahdi ، And at his hands the city of Rum will be conquered.” Abu Abdullah Naeem said: He emerges from a village called Yakli, behind Sana’a, at a stage. ، His father is Qureshi ، His mother is Yemeni

He will follow the Mahdi and show his justice, then he will die, then after him will follow from among his family those who will be just, then he will follow among them those who are unjust and abusive, until he reaches a man among them, and he evacuates from Yemen to Yemen, then they march to him and kill him and assign over them a man from the Quraysh called Muhammad.

After the Mahdi, who will expel the people of Yemen to their country, then Al-Mansour, then after him, the Mahdi, at whose hands the Roman city will be conquered.

The Mahdi is only from Quraysh, and the caliphate is only from Quraysh, but he has origin and lineage in Yemen.

After the Mahdi, there will be a caliph from the people of Yemen, from Qahtan, the Mahdi’s brother in religion, who will do his work, and he will conquer the city of Byzantium and seize its spoils. The people will be succeeded by a man from Banu Hashim in Jerusalem, who will extinguish traditions that were known and invent traditions that were not, until you will not find a scholar who narrates a single hadith. Al-Qatadad on a dark night, and he sends his daughter to go to the markets with her, wearing a blanket of gold. She cannot hide, coming or going. If a man spoke about that, his neck would be struck.

Ibn Ayyash said: Some told me ، People of knowledge ، On the authority of Muhammad bin Jaafar ، He said: Ali bin Abi Talib said: “A man will emerge from the descendants of Hussein whose name will be the name of your Prophet ، The people of heaven and earth rejoice at his departure ، A man said to him: O Commander of the Faithful ، Sufyani, what is his name? He said: He is from the descendants of Khalid bin Yazid bin Abi Sufyan ، Huge important man ، He has traces of smallpox on his face ، And his eye is a white joke ، His departure is the exit of the Mahdi ، There is no authority between them ، He pushes the caliphate to the Mahdi ، It emerges from the Levant from a valley in the land of Damascus called Wadi Al-Yabis ، He comes out in seven people ، With a man among them holding a banner ، They know victory in his banner ، He walks in his hands for thirty miles ، No one who wants to see that knowledge will be defeated ، He comes to Damascus and sits on its pulpit ، Jurists and readers are drawn to me ، And he puts the sword to the merchants ، And the owners of money ، He guides readers and helps them in their affairs ، None of them would prevent him from killing him ، The army is preparing an army for the East ، And another to Morocco ، And another to Yemen ، The Iraqi army appoints a man from Banu Haritha called Qamar bin Abbad ، A massive man with two glands ، In front of him is a short, bald man from his people ، Broad shoulders ، He will be fought by people from the Levant and from the East ، And on that day there would be a great army of them among them ، He fights them between Damascus ، And in a place called the structure ، And the people of Homs in the war against the people of the East and their supporters ، All of this was defeated by the Sufyani ، Then he sides with the people of Damascus and Homs with Al-Sufyani ، They meet with the people of the East in a place in the land of Homs called Lidin, next to Salamiya ، Sixty-odd thousand people are killed ، Three quarters of them are from the Levant ، Then the plan will be upon them ، Let the army he directs march towards the east until it lands in Kufa ، There will be intense fighting between them ، There are many deaths ، Then defeat will befall the people of Kufa ، How much blood was spilled? ، And a bloated stomach ، Walid was killed ، And looted money ، And relief is impossible ، People fled to Mecca ، Al-Sufyani writes to the owner of that army that he should march to Hijaz ، And he walks after he fights her with the fight of the eternal ، So he goes down to the city ، Then he put the sword against the Quraysh ، Four hundred men from among them and from the Ansar were killed ، And it turns stomachs ، The boys are killed ، He kills two brothers from Quraish, from Banu Hashim ، He crucifies them at the door of the mosque ، A man and his sister are called Muhammad and Fatima ، People flee from him to Mecca ، So he marches with his army to Mecca, which he wants ، So the desert descends ، So Allah Almighty commands Gabriel (peace be upon him) and he shouts in his voice: O Bayda, my hand is with them ، They will be wiped out from the last of them ، Two men remain among them, whom Gabriel (peace be upon him) will meet. ، He turns their faces towards their backs ، It's as if I'm looking at them walking backwards ، They tell people what they found,” he said
