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

حدثنا المعتمر بن سليمان، عن أبي عمرو، قال: حدثني قيس بن سعد، عن الحسن بن محمد بن علي، قال: " لا يزال القوم على ثبج من أمرهم حتى تنزل بهم إحدى أربع خلال: يلقي الله بأسهم بينهم، أو تجيء الرايات السود من قبل المشرق فتستبيحهم، أو تقتل النفس الزاكية في البلد الحرام فيتخلى الله منهم، أو يبعثوا جيشا إلى البلد الحرام فيخسف بهم "

The people will remain in the dark about their affairs until one of four things befell them: Allah casts arrows among them, or the black banners come from the east and despise them, or a pure soul is killed in the Sacred Land and Allah abandons them, or they send an army to the Sacred Land and it destroys them.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #523 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]: Black banners coming from the east, from Khurasan, appear in several reports as an army that comes before or with the Mahdi.

[Described Characteristics]: The best-known reports say: 'Black banners will come from Khurasan and nothing will turn them back until they are planted in Iliya (Jerusalem)', and 'If you see them, go to them even crawling over snow'. Hadith scholars graded these reports weak.

[Timeline & Context]: No sahih narration fixes their time.

[Prophetic Practice]: A flag's colour proves nothing. Judge any group by the Quran and Sunnah, not by its claims about prophecy.

[Core Subject]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.
