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 رشدين، عن ابن لهيعة، عن أبي زرعة، عن تبيع، عن كعب، قال: " إذا كثر الهرج في الناس قال الناس: إنما هذا القتال في قريش ولها، فاقتلوهم حتى تستريحوا، فيقتلونهم حتى لا يبقى منهم أحد، ويغزو الناس بعضهم بعضا كما كانوا في جاهليتهم، ويملك الناس رجل من الموالي "

If there is a lot of commotion among the people, the people will say: This fighting is for the Quraysh and theirs, so kill them until you are at peace. They will kill them until not a single one of them remains, and the people will attack each other as they were in their pre-Islamic era, and the people will be ruled by a man of the loyal ones.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1152 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]: Al-harj means much killing. The Prophet ﷺ said it will increase before the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: Killing becomes so common that the killer does not know why he killed and the victim does not know why he was killed.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads among people over time, alongside other signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: In times of fitnah the Prophet ﷺ advised: be like the better of Adam's two sons, the one who is killed rather than the one who kills.
