کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir, on the authority of Damrah bin Habib, on the authority of Salamah bin Nufayl, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, saying: “You will tarry after me until you say: When? And you will come in ruins, annihilating one another, and before the Hour there will be two severe deaths, and after it will be years of earthquakes.”

O Auf, count six before the Hour, the first of which is my death

Muhammad ibn Shapur told us, on the authority of Al-Numan ibn Al-Mundhir, on the authority of Makhul, on the authority of Awf ibn Malik, he said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to me: “Six are before the Hour, the first of which is the death of your Prophet, say: one, the second is the conquest of Jerusalem, the third is death that will fall upon you like the shearing of sheep, the fourth is a strife between you, no Arab house will remain without entering it, and the fifth is a truce between you and the Banu Al-Asfar, so they will gather for you the number of a woman’s pregnancy of nine months.”

Six before the Hour, the first of which is the death of your Prophet, the conquest of Jerusalem, death like a sheep’s sheath, a truce between you and the Banu Asfar, the opening of the city of disbelief, and the man returned a hundred dinars out of anger.

There are six times before the Hour, the first of which is my death, then the conquest of Jerusalem, then a place that my nation will descend from the Levant, then a trial will fall upon you. No Arab house will remain without entering it, then the Romans will make peace with you.

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.

At the hands of that Yamani Caliph, and during his rule, Rome was conquered

Rome will be opened with ropes of Besan, wood of Lebanon, and nails of Meris, and you will take the knife of the ark, and the people of the Levant and the people of Egypt will cast ballots over it, and it will fly to the people of Egypt.

You conquer Constantinople before Rome, then you invade Rome after Constantinople and conquer it. Otherwise, I am Allah’s servant among the liars. He says it three times.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, until they destroy the Romans all together, and only an informer escapes. Then they set off for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay with Batha. Then they open it with the takbir. They say the takbir, and one of its walls falls. Then they say the takbir another, and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek protection from Rome and open it with the takbir, and on that day they will sway their spoils. Enough of deceit

I would not like to stay after the conquest of the city of Hercules. The gates of evil will be opened then, and there will be humiliation and humiliation when they are opened.

Do not rush to conquer the city of Heraclius, for there will be humiliation and humiliation when it is conquered

Baqiyya told us, on the authority of Safwan bin Amr, on the authority of Al-Faraj bin Yahmd, on the authority of some of the sheikhs of his people, who said: “We were with Sufyan bin Awf Al-Ghamdi until we came to the gate of Constantinople, the Gate of Gold, with three thousand horsemen, from the side of the sea, until we crossed the river or the bay. He said: Then they were frightened and beat their bells, then they said: What is the matter with you, O Arabs? We said: We have come to the people of this oppressive village, so that Allah may destroy it at our hands. They said: By Allah, we do not know whether the Book is false, whether we made a mistake in the calculation, or whether you hastened destiny. By Allah, we know that it will be opened one day, but we do not see that this is its time.
