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

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله التيهرتي، عن شيخ لهم يقال له عبد السلام بن مسلمة قال: سمعت أبا قبيل، يقول: وذكر بني أمية فنال منهم ثم قال: «سيليكم بعدهم أصحاب الرايات السود، فيطول أمرهم ومدتهم حتى يبايع لغلامين منهم، فإذا أدركا اختلفوا فيما بينهم، فيطول اختلافهم حتى ترفع بالشام ثلاث رايات، فإذا رفعت كان سبب انقطاع مدتهم، فإذا قرئ بمصر من عبد الله عبد الله أمير المؤمنين، لم يلبث أن يقرأ عليهم كتاب آخر من عبد الله عبد الرحمن أمير المؤمنين، وهو صاحب المغرب، وهو شر من ملك، وهم يخربون مصر والشام، فإذا كثف أمرهم بالشام اجتمعت الرايات السود وأصحاب الرايات الثلاث ومن بها من المغرب على أهل المغرب، فيجتمعون جميعا عليهم، فيقاتلونهم فتكون الغلبة لأهل الرايات الثلاث، وينقطع أمر البربر، ثم يقاتلون أصحاب الرايات السود حتى ينقطع أمرهم»

After them will come the owners of the black banners, and their command and duration will prolong until the pledge of allegiance to two of them is given. When they come together, they disagree among themselves, and their disagreement will prolong until three banners are raised in the Sham (Greater Syria), and if they are raised, this is the reason for the interruption of their term. If it is read in Egypt from Abdullah Abdullah, the Commander of the Faithful, it is not long before another letter is read to them from Abdullah Abd al-Rahman, the Commander of the Faithful, and he is the ruler of the Maghreb, and he is worse than a king, and they are ruining Egypt and the Sham (Greater Syria). If their command in the Sham (Greater Syria) intensifies, the black banners and the companions of The three banners and those in them from the Maghreb against the people of the Maghreb, so they all gather against them and fight them, so the people of the three banners will prevail, and the Berbers will be cut off. Then they will fight the owners of the black banners until their order will be cut off.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #567 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]: 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 : Sham (Greater Syria), Egypt.
