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

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا أبو المغيرة، عن ابن عياش، عمن حدثه، عن كعب، قال: " تظهر رايات سود لبني العباس حتى ينزلوا الشام، ويقتل الله على أيديهم كل جبار عنيد أو عدوا لهم، يرابط بساحتهم أدم خمسة وأربعين صباحا، فيدخلها سبعون ألفا شعارهم فيها: أمت أمت، ثم تضع الحرب أوزارها، فيمكث ملكهم تسعا في سبع، ثم ينتكث أمرهم بعد ثلاث وسبعين سنة "

Black banners of the Abbasids will appear until they descend on the Sham (Greater Syria), and Allah will kill at their hands every stubborn tyrant or enemy of theirs. Adam will station in their square for forty-five mornings, and seventy thousand will enter it, and their slogan there will be: “Ammah, Ammah.” Then the war will end, and their rule will last nine times out of seven, then their rule will be broken after seventy-three years.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #570 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 Abbasids, descendants of the Prophet's uncle al-Abbas, overthrew the Umayyads in 132 AH and ruled from Baghdad. Some reports are said to foretell their rise.

[Described Characteristics]: The reports that name them, or speak of a ruler called al-Saffah, are weak, and some were spread during the revolution itself. No sahih narration names the Abbasids.

[Timeline & Context]: They ruled from the second to the seventh Islamic century, until the Mongols ended their caliphate in Baghdad in 656 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: When a movement claims prophecy for itself, check the grade of the narration first.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Sham (Greater Syria).
