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

قال محمد بن مهاجر، وحدثني الجنيد بن ميمون، عن صفوان بن عمرو، عن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه قال: " الفتنة الرابعة عمياء مظلمة تمور مور البحر، لا يبقى بيت من العرب والعجم إلا ملأته ذلا وخوفا، تطيف بالشام، وتغشى بالعراق، وتخبط بالجزيرة بيدها ورجلها، تعرك الأمة فيها عرك الأديم، ويشتد فيها البلاء حتى ينكر فيها المعروف، ويعرف فيها المنكر، لا يستطيع أحد يقول: مه مه، ولا يرقعونها من ناحية إلا تفتقت من ناحية، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ولا ينجو منها إلا من دعا كدعاء الغرق في البحر، تدوم اثني عشر عاما، تنجلي حين تنجلي وقد انحسرت الفرات عن جبل من ذهب، فيقتتلون عليها حتى يقتل من كل تسعة سبعة "

The fourth temptation is blind and dark, passing through the sea. Not a single house of Arabs or non-Arabs remains except that it is filled with humiliation and fear. It circles around the Sham (Greater Syria), covers Iraq, and strikes the island with its hand and foot. The nation suffers therein, the struggle of eternity, and the affliction becomes severe in it until the good is denied in it, and the evil is known in it. No one can say: “Mah, mah,” and they do not patch it on one side without it splitting on the other. A man becomes a believer in it and evening is an infidel. He will be saved from it except for those who pray, like the prayer of drowning in the sea. It lasts for twelve years, and it clears up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded from a mountain of gold, so they fight over it until seven out of every nine are killed.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #676 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 Euphrates (al-Furat) will uncover a mountain (or treasure) of gold, and people will fight over it.

[Described Characteristics]: Of every hundred who fight over it, ninety-nine are killed, and each one says 'perhaps I will be the one who survives'. The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever is present then should not take anything from it.

[Timeline & Context]: The narrations give no fixed place in the sequence. Scholars list it among the signs before the great signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: The command is to stay away from it. Greed for wealth is the trial, not the gold.

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