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

حدثنا أبو أسامة، حدثنا الأعمش، حدثنا منذر الثوري، عن عاصم بن ضمرة، عن علي بن أبي طالب، رضي الله عنه قال: «جعل الله في هذه الأمة خمس فتن، فتنة عامة، ثم فتنة خاصة، ثم فتنة عامة، ثم فتنة خاصة، ثم الفتنة السوداء المظلمة التي يصير فيها الناس كالبهائم، ثم هدنة، ثم دعاة إلى الضلالة، فإن بقي لله يومئذ خليفة فالزمه»

Allah has created five trials in this nation: a general trial, then a specific trial, then a general trial, then a specific trial, then a dark, black trial in which people will become like animals, then a truce, then callers to misguidance. If there remains a caliph for Allah on that day, adhere to him.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #77 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 Prophet ﷺ said the Muslims will make a secure peace with the Romans, and together they will fight a common enemy.

[Described Characteristics]: They win and take spoils, and camp in a green meadow. A man from the Christians raises the cross and says 'The cross has won', a Muslim gets angry and breaks it, and the Romans betray the truce and gather for the great battle. In the hadith of Awf ibn Malik, there will be a truce with the Banu al-Asfar, who then come under eighty banners with twelve thousand men under each.

[Timeline & Context]: This truce opens the time before the Dajjal, and the great battle follows it.

[Prophetic Practice]: Keeping one's word is part of faith. Treaties are kept until the other side breaks them.
