کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

I warn you of seven trials that will come after me: a trial that will come from Medina, a trial from Mecca, a trial that will come from Yemen, a trial that will come from the Levant, a trial that will come from the East, a trial that will come from the West, and a trial that will come from the interior of the Levant, which is the trial of the Sufyani.

After Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), there will be twelve kings from the Umayyads, or even kings

There will be no caliphate after the campaign of the Umayyads until the Mahdi emerges

After Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), there will be twelve kings from the Umayyads, or even kings

I am astonished by our brothers, the Umayyads, that our call is the call of believers, and their call is the call of hypocrites, and they support us.

Every nation has a scourge, and the scourge of this nation is the Umayyads

Everything has a scourge that spoils it, and the scourge of this religion is the Umayyads

When the Umayyads reached forty, they took the servants of Allah as horses, Allah’s wealth as trees, and the Book of Allah as jungle.

The people of my household will be severely killed by my nation after me, and the people who hate us the most are the Banu Umayyah and the Banu Mughirah from the Banu Makhzum.

Hush me until I die? Banu Umayyad, Thaqif, and Banu Hanafiya

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Sulaiman Al-Ahwal, on the authority of Mujahid, on the authority of Tabi’, who said: “Four of the Umayyad tribe are ruled by a man’s lineage: Suleiman bin Abdul Malik, Hisham, Yazid, and Al-Walid.”

Perhaps you are the bravest of the Umayyads

After Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), there will be twelve kings from the Umayyads, or even kings

I advise you to stay in your homes, for this matter will happen to a man from the Umayyads who will follow you for twenty-two years, then he will die, and then after him will be followed by caliphs who will succeed each other for a few years, until a man with his mark in his eye will follow you, meaning Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, who collects money in a way that no one had collected before him, who lives for nineteen years and something, then dies, then a man among them will follow you, a young man who will give people gifts that no one before him had given him, then a man from his household will attack him. It was hidden and he was not mentioned, so he kills him and blood spills on his hands, then he comes to you heading from here, and he pointed to the island.

What do you think, if a son of Moses had requested that he be buried with his father and he was prevented, would they not have been wronged? This is the son of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) and it is forbidden to be buried with his father. Your brother has advised that if you fear that there will be a fight, return me to the Muslim cemeteries.

This matter remains among the Umayyads as long as they do not differ among themselves

These people will continue to adhere to this matter as long as they do not disagree among themselves. If they disagree among themselves, you will leave them and will not return to them until the Day of Resurrection.

This matter will continue among the Umayyads as long as two spears do not disagree between them. If two spears disagree between them, I will leave them until the Day of Resurrection.

The Banu Umayyads reigned for a hundred years, and the Banu Marwan had sixty-odd years of that. Their dominion will not go until they take it away with their own hands. They want to block it but they cannot do it. Every time they block it on one side, it collapses on the other. They begin with a mim and end with a mim. Their dominion will not go until a caliph of theirs is deposed and he is killed, and his lambs are killed, and the red-haired donkey of the peninsula kills Marwan, then their dominion is cut off and the wreaths are torn down at his hands.

Indeed, the tribulation I fear most for you is the tribulation of the Umayyads. Indeed, it is a blind and dark tribulation

If the young caliph from the Umayyad tribe was killed unjustly between the Levant and Iraq, then it would still be a disdainful act of obedience and blood shed unjustly on the face of the earth.

If a man from the family of Marwan, called Al-Walid, is appointed as successor, then the caliphate of the Umayyads will be cut off, and a man called Al-Walid bin Yazid will succeed them.

The disappearance of the authority of the Banu Umayyads: If a boy among them was appointed as successor and then was killed, and his mother was killed with him, then their authority would be cut off.

Ibn Uyaynah told us, on the authority of Suleiman Al-Ahwal, on the authority of Mujahid, on the authority of Tabi’, who said: “This matter will continue among the Umayyads until four of them will rule them, all of them descended from a man: Suleiman bin Abdul Malik, Hisham, Yazid, and Al-Walid.”

I would not like to wear these sandals for what remains of the world after the departure of the Umayyads
