وأخبرني محمد بن المؤمل، ثنا الفضل بن محمد الشعراني، ثنا نعيم بن حماد، ثنا الوليد، ورشدين، قالا: ثنا ابن لهيعة، عن أبي قبيل، عن أبي رومان، عن علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه، قال: «يظهر السفياني على الشام، ثم يكون بينهم وقعة بقرقيسا حتى تشبع طير السماء وسباع الأرض من جيفهم، ثم ينفتق عليهم فتق من خلفهم، فتقبل طائفة منهم حتى يدخلوا أرض خراسان، وتقبل خيل السفياني في طلب أهل خراسان، ويقتلون شيعة آل محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم بالكوفة، ثم يخرج أهل خراسان في طلب المهدي»

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8530 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): خبر واه.

[Core Subject]: The Mahdi ('the rightly guided one') is a man from the Prophet's family, through Fatimah, who will lead the Muslims near the end of time and fill the earth with justice as it had been filled with oppression.

[Described Characteristics]: His name will match the Prophet's name and his father's name the Prophet's father's name (Muhammad ibn Abdullah). He has a broad forehead and a fine, high nose. He rules for seven years, wealth is plentiful in his time, and he gives it out by the handful without counting. Isa (AS) descends while he is about to lead the prayer.

[Timeline & Context]: He comes before the Dajjal, in the time of the great wars with the Romans, around the conquest of Constantinople and the descent of Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: Waiting for a rescuer is not the Sunnah. Work for justice where you are, and do not follow anyone who claims the title.

[Core Subject]: The Sufyani is a figure from the descendants of Abu Sufyan who, according to some reports, will rise in Sham before the Mahdi, spread oppression, and send an army that is swallowed by the earth.

[Described Characteristics]: There is no narration about the Sufyani in Bukhari, Muslim or the other six books. The reports come mainly from Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan and al-Hakim's al-Mustadrak; al-Dhahabi and other critics judged them weak or very weak.

[Timeline & Context]: The weak reports put him before the Mahdi. Because they are weak, no firm order can be built on them.

[Prophetic Practice]: Build your understanding of the end on what is authentic, and leave what is weak to the specialists.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Sham (Greater Syria), Khurasan, Kufa.
