حدثنا محمد بن شابور، عن النعمان بن المنذر، وسويد بن عبد العزيز، عن إسحاق بن أبي فروة، جميعا عن مكحول، عن حذيفة بن اليمان وقال محمد بن شابور: قال مكحول: حدثني غير واحد، عن حذيفة، يزيد أحدهما على صاحبه في الحديث، قال حذيفة: فتح لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فتح لم يفتح له مثله منذ بعثه الله تعالى، فقلت له: يهنيك الفتح يا رسول الله، قد وضعت الحرب أوزارها، فقال: «هيهات هيهات، والذي نفسي بيده إن دونها يا حذيفة لخصالا ستا، أولهن موتي» قال: قلت: إنا لله، وإنا إليه راجعون، «ثم يفتح بيت المقدس، ثم يكون بعد ذلك فتنة تقتتل فئتان عظيمتان، يكثر فيهما القتل، ويكثر فيهما الهرج، دعوتهما واحدة، ثم يسلط عليكم موت فيقتلكم قعصا كما تموت الغنم، ثم يكثر المال فيفيض حتى يدعى الرجل إلى مائة دينار فيستنكف أن يأخذها، ثم ينشأ لبني الأصفر غلام من أولاد ملوكهم» ، قلت: ومن بنو الأصفر يا رسول الله؟ قال: " الروم، فيشب في اليوم الواحد كما يشب الصبي في الشهر، ويشب في الشهر كما يشب الصبي في السنة، فإذا بلغ أحبوه واتبعوه، ما لم يحبوا ملكا قبله، ثم يقوم بين ظهرانيهم فيقول: إلى متى نترك هذه العصابة من العرب؟ لا يزالون يصيبون منكم طرفا، ونحن أكثر منهم عددا وعدة في البر والبحر، إلى متى يكون هذا؟ فأشيروا علي بما ترون، فيقوم أشرافهم فيخطبون بين أظهرهم ويقولون: نعم ما رأيت، والأمر أمرك، فيقول: والذي نقسم به لا ندعهم حتى نهلكهم، فيكتب إلى جزائر الروم فيرمونه بثمانين غياية، تحت كل غياية اثنا عشر ألف مقاتل، والغياية الراية، فيجتمعون عنده سبعمائة ألف وستمائة مقاتل، ويكتب إلى كل جزيرة فيبعثون بثلاثمائة سفينة، فيركب هو في سفينة منها، ومقاتلته بحده وحديده، وما كان حتى يرمي بها ما بين أنطاكية إلى العريش، فيبعث الخليفة يومئذ الخيول بالعدد والعدة، وما لا يحصى، فيقوم فيهم خطيب فيقول: كيف ترون؟ أشيروا علي برأيكم، فإني أرى أمرا عظيما، وإني أعلم أن الله تعالى منجز وعده، ومظهر ديننا على كل دين، ولكن هذا بلاء عظيم، فإني قد رأيت من الرأي أن أخرج ومن معي إلى مدينة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأبعث إلى اليمن والعرب حيث كانوا، وإلى الأعاريب، فإن الله ناصر من نصره، ولا يضرنا أن نخلي لهم هذه الأرض حتى تروا الذي يتهيأ لكم "، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " فيخرجون حتى ينزلوا مدينتي هذه واسمها طيبة، وهي مساكن المسلمين فينزلون، ثم يكتبون إلى من كان عندهم من العرب، حيث بلغ كتابهم فيجيبونهم حتى تضيق بهم المدينة، ثم يخرجون مجتمعين مجردين، قد بايعوا إمامهم على الموت، فيفتح الله لهم فيكسرون أغماد سيوفهم، ثم يمرون مجردين، فيقول صاحب الروم: إن القوم قد استماتوا لهذه الأرض، وقد أقبلوا إليكم وهم لا يرجون حياة، فإني كاتب إليهم أن يبعثوا إلي بمن عندهم من العجم، ونخلي لهم أرضهم هذه، فإن لنا عنها غنى، فإن فعلوا فعلنا ، وإن أبوا قاتلناهم حتى يقضي الله بيننا وبينهم، فإذا بلغ أمرهم والي المسلمين يومئذ قال: لهم: من كان عندنا من العجم أراد أن يسير إلى الروم فليفعل، فيقوم خطيب من الموالي فيقول: معاذ الله أن نبتغي بالإسلام دينا وبدلا، فيبايعون على الموت، كما بايع من قبلهم من المسلمين، ثم يسيرون مجتمعين، فإذا رأوهم أعداء الله طمعوا وأحردوا وجهدوا، ثم يسل المسلمون سيوفهم، ويكسروا أغمادها، ويغضب الجبار على أعدائه، فيقتل المسلمون منهم حتى يبلغ الدم ثنن الخيل، ثم يسير من بقي منهم بريح طيبة يوما وليلة، حتى يظنوا أنهم عجزوا، فيبعث الله عليهم ريحا عاصفا، فتردهم إلى المكان الذي منه خرجوا، فيقتلهم بأيدي المهاجرين، فلا يفلت أحد، ولا مخبر، فعند ذلك يا حذيفة تضع الحرب أوزارها، فيعيشون في ذلك ما شاء الله، ثم يأتيهم من قبل المشرق خبر الدجال أنه قد خرج فينا " أخبرنا الشيخ أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الله بن أحمد بن ريذة قال: أنا أبو القاسم سليمان بن أحمد بن أيوب الطبراني، ثنا أبو زيد عبد الرحمن بن حاتم المرادي سنة ثمانين ومائتين ثنا نعيم بن حماد،

No way, no way ، By the One in whose hand is my soul, without it, O Hudhayfah, there are six qualities ، The first of them is my death. He said: I said: We belong to Allah ، To Him we shall return ، Then the Holy House opens ، Then after that there will be a turmoil that will cause two great factions to fight ، There is a lot of killing in them ، There is a lot of chaos in them ، I called them one ، Then death will be imposed upon you, and it will kill you with a sting just as sheep die ، Then the money increases and overflows until a man is called for one hundred dinars and refuses to take it ، Then a boy from the children of their kings will be born to the Banu al-Asfar ، I said: Who are the Banu Al-Asfar, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “The Romans.” ، He grows old in one day, just as a boy grows old in a month ، He grows old in a month, just as a boy grows old in a year ، When he reaches puberty, they love him and follow him ، Unless they loved a king before him ، Then he stands among them and says: How long will we leave this group of Arabs? They are still infecting every part of you ، We are more numerous than them on land and at sea ، How long will this be? So advise me of what you see ، Then their nobles stand up and give a speech to them and say: Yes, what I saw ، It's up to you ، He says: By the One by which we swear, we will not leave them until We destroy them ، He writes to the Roman islands and they give him eighty pounds ، Under each target were twelve thousand fighters ، The goal is the flag ، Seven hundred thousand and six hundred fighters will gather around him ، He writes to every island and they send three hundred ships ، So he boards a ship from it ، And fight him with his sword and iron ، He would not even throw it between Antioch and Al-Arish ، The Caliph would send horses on that day in numbers and equipment ، And countless ، Then a preacher rises among them and says: How do you see? Tell me your opinion ، I see something great ، And I know that Allah Almighty fulfills His promise ، And the appearance of our religion over every religion ، But this is a great affliction ، For I have decided to go and those with me to the city of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ، And I send to Yemen and the Arabs wherever they are ، And to the Arabs ، Allah is the one who helps us ، It does not harm us if we vacate this land for them until you see what is prepared for you.” ، The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Then they will go out until they settle this city of mine, and its name is Taybah.” ، These are the dwellings of Muslims, so they stay ، Then they write to the Arabs they have ، As their letter reaches, they respond to them until the city becomes too tight for them ، Then they come out together, abstracted ، They pledged allegiance to their imam on death row ، Then Allah opens the door for them and they break the sheaths of their swords ، Then they pass away ، The Roman man says: The people are desperate for this land ، They have come to you not hoping for life ، I am writing to them to send me any of the non-Arabs they have ، And we will give them this land of theirs ، We have no need of it ، If they do, we do ، If they refuse, we will fight them until Allah decides between us and them ، When their matter reached the ruler of the Muslims on that day, he said to them: Whoever of the Persians among us wants to go to the Romans, let him do so. ، Then a preacher from the crowd gets up and says: Allah forbid that we seek Islam as a religion and a substitute ، They pledge allegiance to death ، As Muslims before them pledged allegiance ، Then they walk together ، If they see them as enemies of Allah, they become greedy, zealous, and striving ، Then the Muslims draw their swords ، And they break its sheaths ، The mighty man becomes angry with his enemies ، The Muslims kill them until the blood reaches two horses ، Then the rest of them walk away with good winds for a day and a night ، So that they think they are incapable ، Then Allah will send upon them a stormy wind ، So you return them to the place from which they came out ، He kills them at the hands of immigrants ، No one escapes ، No informant ، Then, O Hudhayfah, the war will end ، They will live in that as long as Allah wills ، Then the news of the Dajjal will come to them from the East, that he has emerged among us.” Sheikh Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ahmed bin Raydha told us, saying: I am Abu Al-Qasim Sulayman bin Ahmed bin Ayoub Al-Tabarani. ، Abu Zaid Abd al-Rahman bin Hatim al-Muradi told us in the year two hundred and eighty. Nu`aym bin Hammad told us.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1254 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 Dajjal (al-Masih al-Dajjal, the false messiah) is a single man who will appear near the end and claim to be God. Every prophet warned his people about him, and the Prophet ﷺ called his trial the greatest from the creation of Adam until the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: He is a young man, stocky, with thick curly hair, blind in his right eye, which looks like a floating grape. Between his eyes is written ka-fa-ra (kafir), which every believer can read, literate or not. He brings what looks like paradise and hell, but his paradise is fire and his fire is cool water. He orders the sky to rain and it rains. He stays forty days: one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, the rest like ordinary days. He cannot enter Makkah or Madinah.

[Timeline & Context]: In the narrated order he is the first of the great signs. He comes after the great battle with the Romans and the conquest of Constantinople, and Isa (AS) kills him at the gate of Lud.

[Prophetic Practice]: Memorise the first ten verses of Surah al-Kahf, read al-Kahf on Fridays, and in every prayer before the salam ask Allah's refuge from the trial of the Dajjal. Whoever hears of him should keep away from him.

[Core Subject]: Al-Rum, the Romans, were the Byzantine Empire in the Prophet's time. Many narrations about the end speak of the Muslims' relations with them: a truce, a joint war, then the great battle.

[Described Characteristics]: Amr ibn al-As heard that the Hour will come when the Romans are the most numerous of people, and he listed their good qualities: they are the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after a disaster, the best to the poor, orphans and the weak, and they resist the oppression of kings.

[Timeline & Context]: Their part runs through the whole time before the Dajjal: first the truce, then the war, then the conquest of Constantinople.

[Prophetic Practice]: Amr's words teach fairness: name the good in others even when speaking of conflict.

[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.

[Core Subject]: Wealth increases until it overflows, and a man goes out with his charity and finds no one to accept it.

[Described Characteristics]: The owner of wealth worries about who will accept his zakah. When he offers it, the other says, 'I have no need of it.'

[Timeline & Context]: It has come in waves: it was seen in the time of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and it will come again in the time of Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Give charity, for a time will come when a man walks with his charity and finds no one to take it.' Give while it can still be accepted.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold the trials that would come after him: the killing of Uthman (RA), and the fighting among the Muslims at the Battle of the Camel (Jamal) and at Siffin.

[Described Characteristics]: He told Uthman he would enter Paradise after a trial that would strike him. He said that 'the rebel group' would kill Ammar ibn Yasir, who was killed at Siffin. He said the Hour would not come until two great groups of Muslims fight with the same claim. He said of al-Hasan that Allah would reconcile two great groups of Muslims through him, which happened in 41 AH.

[Timeline & Context]: These events took place between 35 and 41 AH, and they have passed.

[Prophetic Practice]: Speak well of the Companions, and be like al-Hasan: one who makes peace.

[Core Subject]: The Hour will not come until two great factions fight a fierce war while both lay claim to the same cause.

[Described Characteristics]: Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Hour will not be established until two great factions fight one another, between whom there is a great battle, their claim being one' (Sahih al-Bukhari 7121; cf. 3608 and Sahih Muslim 157).

[Timeline & Context]: Among the tribulations (fitan) that unfold over the course of the Ummah's history; it fixes no date.

[Prophetic Practice]: Flee fitnah, hold to the main body of the Muslims, and never let a political claim push you into shedding protected blood.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah, Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem), Yemen, Antioch.
