Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا عبد الله بن مروان، عن سعيد بن يزيد، عن الزهري، قال: " يخرج المهدي من مكة بعد الخسف في ثلاثمائة وأربعة عشر رجلا، عدة أهل بدر، فيلتقي هو وصاحب جيش السفياني، وأصحاب المهدي يومئذ جنتهم البراذع، يعني تراسهم، كان يسمى قبل ذلك: يوم البراذع، ويقال: إنه يسمع يومئذ صوت من السماء مناديا ينادي: ألا إن أولياء الله أصحاب فلان، يعني المهدي، فتكون الدبرة على أصحاب السفياني، فيقتتلون لا يبقى منهم إلا الشريد فيهربون إلى السفياني فيخبرونه، ويخرج المهدي إلى الشام، فيتلقى السفياني المهدي ببيعته، ويتسارع الناس إليه من كل وجه، وتملأ الأرض عدلا كما ملئت جورا "

The Mahdi will emerge from Mecca after the eclipse with three hundred and fourteen men, equal to the number of the people of Badr, and he and the companion of the Sufyani’s army will meet, and the Mahdi’s companions on that day will be in Paradise Al-Barada’, meaning their leadership. It was called before that: the Day of Al-Barada’, and it is said: On that day a voice will be heard from the sky calling: Indeed, the guardians of Allah are the companions of so-and-so, meaning the Mahdi. Then the attack will be upon the companions of the Sufyani, and they will fight, and only the fugitive among them will remain, and they will flee to Al-Sufyani and they inform him, and the Mahdi goes out to the Sham (Greater Syria), and Al-Sufyani receives the Mahdi with his pledge of allegiance, and people rush to him from every direction, and the earth will be filled with justice as it was filled with injustice.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1015 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.

[Core Subject]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

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