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

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا الوليد بن مسلم، عن خير بن محمد الرعيني، قال: أخبرني راشد مولانا، عن تبيع، عن كعب، قال: «إذا رأيت خليفة ببيت المقدس، وآخر دونه، يعني بدمشق، فلا تتبع الذي دونه، فإنه أضل من حمار أهله»

If you see a caliph in Bayt al-Maqdis, and another without him, meaning in Damascus, do not follow the one without him, for he is more misguided than his people’s donkey.
