کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

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.

Muhammad ibn Salamah al-Harrani told us, Muhammad ibn Ishaq told us, on the authority of Hazn ibn Abd Amr, who said: “We entered the land of the Romans during the Battle of al-Tuwanah, and we camped at a meadow, so I took hold of the heads of my companions’ animals, so I reached for them, and my companions went off to feed, while I was like that when I heard: May the peace and mercy of Allah be upon you. I turned around and saw a man wearing white clothes. I said: May the peace and mercy of Allah be upon you. He said: Ameen, Ummah. Ahmed? I said: Yes. He said: So be patient, for this nation is a merciful nation. Allah has decreed five trials and five prayers for it. He said: I said: Name them for me. He said: Hold on. One of them is the sudden death of their Prophet, whose name is in the Book of Allah Almighty, then Uthman was killed, and its name is in the Book of Allah, the deaf, then the trial of Ibn al-Zubayr, and its name in the Book of Allah is blind, then the trial of Ibn al-Ash’ath, and its name in the Book of Allah is Petra. Then he took over while he was in power. He says: I stayed fasting, and I stayed fasting, but I did not know how it went.

By Allah, I wish that no tower would be built without a tower falling, and I say that, but a turmoil descended from the sky, with only a span between us and it falling, and if the construction of this mosque had been completed, it would have occurred. And that was when this Sheikh Othman bin Affan was killed, yes, a hundred thousand or more. Then killing would occur between Aden and Abyan to the paths of the Romans, and an army would emerge from the west, and an army would emerge from the east, and they would meet in a land called Siffin, and there would be a great battle between them, and then they would not separate except About two rulings

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.

I am asking you about something, and be careful not to deny me, lest you destroy me and destroy yourselves. I adjure you by Allah: What do you find me in your books, am I a caliph or a king? How is that? You find me in my name? I don't care if it goes over my head

The caliph after him, Muawiyah, is your friend who sent you

After him is Muawiyah, your friend who sent you

Perhaps a boy from Quraysh would be enough for her

A man emerges from the peninsula and tramples on the people, and sheds blood. Then a man emerges from Khorasan after killing his brother from Banu Hashim, called Abdullah. He remains for about forty years. Then he dies and two men from his household named by the same name differ, so it becomes an epic in Aqraqufa, and they appear close to the caliph. Then it becomes a sign among the Banu al-Asfar, and a star with a tail appears, and it disappears from them and does not return to them.

If a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, then the Turks and the Romans will gather together and fight, and three flags will be raised in the Levant, and then the Sufyani will fight them until they reach Qarqisiya. Those who ride the openwork ones will fall on the hills of the Peninsula and the Levant and take their women captive, to the point that a man will see the white of his wife’s anklets and will not be able to defend her.

The people of your Prophet’s household have signs, so stick to the land until the Turks conflict with a weak man, so he is deposed after two years of his pledge of allegiance, and the Turks oppose the Romans, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and three people are expelled from the Levant, and the destruction of their king comes from wherever they started, and the Turkish Bedouins will be in the peninsula, and the Romans will be in Palestine, and Abdullah will follow Abdullah, until their armies meet in Circassia.

If the Turks and Khazars appear in the peninsula and Azerbaijan, and the Romans in the depths and its outskirts, the Romans will fight a man from Qays, from the people of Qinnasrin, and the Sufyani will fight the people of the East in Iraq, and each side will be occupied with an enemy. If he fights them for forty days and does not come to him, he will extend the favor of the Romans, provided that neither party gives anything to the other.

If Al-Sufyani appears against Al-Aqba’ and Al-Mansur Al-Yamani, the Turks and Romans will emerge and Al-Sufyani will appear over them

Baqiyya, Abd al-Quddus, and al-Hakam bin Nafi told us, on the authority of Safwan, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Jubair bin Nufayr, “on the authority of Heraclius, the great Roman, who said: Our example and the example of the Arabs is like a man who had a house and people settled in it, so he said: Inhabit what you have put right, and be careful not to spoil it. So he took you out of it, so they lived in it for a period of time, then he looked at them and saw that they had spoiled it, so he took them out of it, and he brought others and settled them in it, and he stipulated for them as he stipulated on Those before them, the land of the Levant, and its Lord, Allah Almighty, inhabited it with the Children of Israel, and they were its inhabitants for a time, then they changed and corrupted, so he looked at them and expelled them from it and settled them after them for a period, then he looked at us and found that we had changed and corrupted, so he removed us from it and settled you in it, Arabs.

Only those who are patient with the siege will be saved from its affliction. The stronghold of the Sufyani, Allah Almighty willing, is three cities. For the non-Arabs near the Thughwar, a city is called Antioch, a city is called Qurs, a city is called Samisat, and the stronghold from the Romans is a mountain called Al-Mutaq.

Damascus is the Muslim stronghold of the Romans, and a bull’s paddock there is better than a great house in Homs. And whoever wants to be saved from the Dajjal is the Abu Fatrus River, and if you want the home of the caliphs, then you should go to Damascus, and if you want effort and jihad, then you should go to Homs, the stronghold of the Muslims from the epics, Damascus, and from the Dajjal, there is the Abu Fatros River, and from Gog and Magog, you should go to Damascus.

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Safwan, he said: Some of our sheikhs told me, on the authority of someone who witnessed the conquest of Homs. He said: “The Romans who were in Homs feared the Berbers, and you say: ‘Waisa Laqayfis’ from Berbers.” Safwan said: They used to call Hummus Tamra. They said: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.

If the people of the Maghreb leave, the Romans will rule the Maghreb, and then Alexandria, Egypt, and the coast of the Levant will be destroyed.

Abd al-Rahman goes out with the people of Morocco, and the Romans have taken control of Alexandria. They are there, and they fight them, defeat them, and expel them from it.

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Safwan, on the authority of his sheikh, he said: “The Romans who were in Homs feared the Berbers for it and said: Woe to you, O Tamra, from the Berbers,” meaning: “Woe to you, O Tamra, from the Berbers.”

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، He said: “The Berbers come and camp between Palestine and Jordan ، Then the crowds of the East and Syria will march towards them until they stop the tax collector ، A man emerges from Weld Sakhr in weakness ، He throws the Moroccan armies on the Bisan fold and deters them from it ، Then he will meet them the next day and deter them from it ، They side with her ، Then he will meet them on the third day and drive them back to the spring of the wind ، Then the death of their leader comes to them, and they separate into three groups: one group turns back on its heels ، And a group joins the Hijaz ، A band follows Al-Sakhri ، He walks to the rest of their crowd until he comes to Thanyat Fayq ، And they meet her ، Vidal rocks them ، Then you turn to the masses of the East and the Levant and meet them ، He guides them between the reward and the waste ، Until the horses wade in blood ، The people of the Levant kill their president ، They side with Al-Sakhri, who enters Damascus and represents him there ، Banners will emerge from the East, blackened ، They descend on Kufa and their leader hides there ، He does not know his location ، And that army will rise ، Then a man who had been hidden in the depths of the valley comes out and is in command of that army ، Its main source was anger at what Al-Sakhri did to his family ، He marches with the soldiers of the East towards the Levant ، Al-Sakhri reaches his destination and heads the soldiers of the people of Morocco towards him ، They meet the mountain of pebbles ، A lot of world will perish between them ، And the Mashriqi leaves ، The rock follows it and overtakes it in Qarqesya at the complex of the two rivers and they meet ، Their patience exhausts them, and seven of the Levantine soldiers are killed out of every ten ، Then Al-Sakhri's soldiers entered Kufa and attacked its people ، He directs a soldier from the Maghreb to the soldiers from the East next to him ، Then they will bring him their captives ، Perhaps this is the case when the news of the Mahdi’s appearance in Mecca comes to him ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa, and he will be eclipsed by it.” Artah said: “And he will be between the people of the West and the people of the East at the bridge of Fustat for seven days.” ، Then they meet Al-Arish, and the people of the East will be defeated until they reach the Jordan ، Then the Sufyani will come out after them ، The Romans who were in Homs were afraid of the Berbers ، And they say: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.

Abd al-Rahman goes out with the people of Morocco, and the Romans have captured Alexandria while they are there. They fight them, defeat them, and expel them from it.
