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

حدثنا بقية بن الوليد وأبو المغيرة، عن صفوان بن عمرو، قال: حدثني السفر بن نسير الأزدي، عن حذيفة بن اليمان، رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «تكون فتن كقطع الليل المظلم، يتبع بعضها بعضا، تأتيكم مشتبهة كوجوه البقر، لا تدرون أيها من أي»

There will be temptations like pieces of the dark night, one after the other. They will come to you like the faces of cows, and you will not know which one is from what.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #4 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 warned of trials (fitan) that will come like pieces of a dark night, one after another, so confusing that a man is a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening.

[Described Characteristics]: People sell their religion for a small worldly gain. In such trials, the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing better than the one running toward it.

[Timeline & Context]: They began after the Prophet's ﷺ death and continue in waves.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hasten to good deeds before trials like pieces of a dark night.' Seek refuge from the trials, the seen and the unseen.
