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

حدثنا الوليد، عن أبي عبد الله، عن الوليد بن هشام المعيطي، عن أبان بن الوليد بن عقبة بن أبي معيط، عن ابن عباس، رضي الله عنه أنه قدم على معاوية وأنا حاضره فأجازه وأحسن جائزته، ثم قال: يا أبا العباس، هل يكون لكم دولة؟ قال: «اعفني من هذا يا أمير المؤمنين» ، قال: لتخبرني، قال: «نعم» ، وذلك في آخر الزمان، قال: فمن أنصاركم؟ قال: «أهل خراسان» ، قال: «ولبني أمية من بني هاشم نطحات، ولبني هاشم من بني أمية نطحات، ثم يخرج السفياني»

Spare me from this, O Commander of the Faithful. How excellent the people of Khurasan are, and Banu Umayyad from Banu Hashim have gores, and Banu Hashim from Banu Umayyah have gores. Then the Sufyani will come out.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #550 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 Sufyani is a figure from the descendants of Abu Sufyan who, according to some reports, will rise in Sham before the Mahdi, spread oppression, and send an army that is swallowed by the earth.

[Described Characteristics]: There is no narration about the Sufyani in Bukhari, Muslim or the other six books. The reports come mainly from Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan and al-Hakim's al-Mustadrak; al-Dhahabi and other critics judged them weak or very weak.

[Timeline & Context]: The weak reports put him before the Mahdi. Because they are weak, no firm order can be built on them.

[Prophetic Practice]: Build your understanding of the end on what is authentic, and leave what is weak to the specialists.

[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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Khurasan.
