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

حدثنا الوليد، عن أبي عبيدة الأشجعي، عن أبي أمية الكلبي، حدثهم في خلافة يزيد بن عبد الملك قال: لما اختلف الناس بعد معاوية وفتنة ابن الزبير أتينا شيخا من القدماء قد أدرك الجاهلية قد سقط حاجباه على عينيه، فقلنا: أخبرنا عن زماننا هذا وما اختلف الناس فيه، وأشر علينا، قال: فدعا بعصابة فعصب بها جلدة حاجبيه حتى ارتفعت عن عينيه فأبصرنا، قال: «أشير عليكم أن تلزموا بيوتكم، فإن هذا الأمر سيصير إلى رجل من بني أمية يليكم ثنتين وعشرين سنة، ثم يموت ثم يليكم من بعده خلفاء يتتابعون في سنيات يسيرة، حتى يليكم رجل علامته في عينه، يعني هشام بن عبد الملك، يجمع المال جمعا لم يجمعه أحد قبله، يعيش تسع عشرة سنة وشيئا، ثم يموت، ثم يليكم رجل منهم شاب يعطي الناس عطايا لم يعطها أحد كان قبله، ثم ينشب به رجل من أهل بيته خفي لم يكن يذكر فيقتله فتراق على يديه الدماء، ثم يأتيكم مدبر من هاهنا، وأشار إلى الجزيرة»

I advise you to stay in your homes, for this matter will happen to a man from the Umayyads who will follow you for twenty-two years, then he will die, and then after him will be followed by caliphs who will succeed each other for a few years, until a man with his mark in his eye will follow you, meaning Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, who collects money in a way that no one had collected before him, who lives for nineteen years and something, then dies, then a man among them will follow you, a young man who will give people gifts that no one before him had given him, then a man from his household will attack him. It was hidden and he was not mentioned, so he kills him and blood spills on his hands, then he comes to you heading from here, and he pointed to the island.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #334 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 Prophet ﷺ foretold that the ruin of his ummah would come at the hands of young men of Quraysh, and that rule would turn into kingship after thirty years of caliphate. Scholars connect these with the Umayyad dynasty (41-132 AH).

[Described Characteristics]: Abu Hurayrah said he could name them if he wished. Ibn Hajar and others explain that he meant certain Umayyad rulers, beginning around the year 60 AH, and Abu Hurayrah prayed to die before then.

[Timeline & Context]: This was in the first Islamic century, and it has already passed.

[Prophetic Practice]: Abu Hurayrah sought refuge from 'the year sixty and the rule of boys'. Ask Allah for just leaders.
