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 أبو المغيرة، عن ابن عياش، قال: حدثني المشيخة، عن كعب، قال: «في ولاية القحطاني تقتتل قضاعة بحمص وحمير، وعليها يومئذ رجل من كندة، فتقتله قضاعة وتعلق رأسه في شجرة في المسجد، فتغضب له حمير، فيقتتلون بينهم قتالا شديدا، حتى تهدم كل دار عند المسجد كي تتسع صفوفهم للقتال، فعند ذلك يكون الويل للشرقي من الغربي، وغير ذلك بحمص، فتكون أشقى قبائل اليمن بهم السكون، لأنهم جيرانهم»

In the state of Al-Qahtani, an otter fights with chicks and donkeys, and on that day is a man from Kindah. An otter kills him and hangs his head from a tree in the mosque. The donkeys become angry with him, and they fight fiercely among themselves, until every house near the mosque is demolished so that their ranks can expand to fight. In that case, woe will come to the eastern from the western, and otherwise to Homs, and they will be the most miserable of the tribes in Yemen in terms of peace, because they are their neighbors.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1240 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]: A man from the tribe of Qahtan (the southern Arabs of Yemen) will rise and lead people with his stick.

[Described Characteristics]: 'Driving people with his stick' means he will rule them and they will obey him. The narration says nothing more about whether he is good or bad.

[Timeline & Context]: No order is given. Ibn Hajar mentions views that he comes after the Mahdi or in the time after Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: Leave the identity of foretold figures to the time when they appear.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Yemen, Homs.
