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

حدثنا أبو عمرو البصري، عن ابن لهيعة، عن عبد الوهاب بن حسين، عن محمد بن ثابت البناني، عن أبيه عن الحارث الهمداني ، عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " السابع من بني العباس يدعو الناس إلى الكفر فلا يجيبونه، فيقول له أهل بيته: تريد أن تخرجنا من معايشنا؟ فيقول: إني أسير فيكم بسيرة أبي بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما، فيأبون عليه، فيقتله عدو له من أهل بيته من بني هاشم، فإذا وثب عليه اختلفوا فيما بينهم " فذكر اختلافا طويلا إلى خروج السفياني

The seventh of the Abbasids calls people to disbelief, but they do not respond to him, so his family says to him: Do you want to expel us from our livelihood? So he says: I am following among you the path of Abu Bakr and Omar (may Allah be pleased with him), but they refuse him, and then an enemy of his from his family from Banu Hashim kills him. If he attacks him, they disagree among themselves, and he mentioned a long disagreement until the emergence of Al-Sufyani.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #594 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 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.
