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 عبد القدوس، عن ابن عياش، عن أم بدر، قالت: سمعت سعيد بن زرعة، يقول: سمعت نوفا البكالي، يقول لأصحابه: إني أجد أن هذا العام تجلل فيه دمشق المسوح والبراذع واللبود، وتخرج قتلاهم على العجل، وتبقر بطون نسائهم، فقال كعب: " إنما أولئك قوم يأتون من المشرق حردين، معهم رايات سود مكتوب في راياتهم عهدكم وبيعتكم وفينا بها ثم نكثوها، فيأتون حتى ينزلوا بين حمص ودير مسحل، فتخرج إليهم سرية فيعركونهم عرك الأديم، ثم يسيرون إلى دمشق فيفتحونها قسرا، شعارهم: أقبل أقبل، يعني بكش بكش، ترفع عنهم الرحمة ثلاث ساعات من النهار "

These are people who come from the East alone, carrying black banners with the words “Your Covenant and Pledge of Allegiance” written on their banners, and “in us” with it. Then they broke it, and they came until they camped between Homs and Deir Mashal, and a group came out to them and they fought them in the Battle of al-Adim. Then they marched to Damascus and conquered it by force. Their motto was: “Accept, accept,” meaning Baksh Baksh. Mercy will be removed from them for three hours of the day.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #572 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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Damascus, Homs.
