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

حدثنا الوليد، عن أبي عبد الله، عن مسلم بن الأخيل، عن عبد الكريم أبي أمية، عن محمد ابن الحنفية، قال: «يدخل أوائل أهل المغرب مسجد دمشق، فبينا هم ينظرون في أعاجيبه إذ رجفت الأرض فانقعر غربي مسجدها، ويخسف بقرية يقال لها حرستا، ثم يخرج عند ذلك السفياني فيقتلهم حتى يدخلهم مصر، ثم يرجع فيقاتل أهل المشرق حتى يردهم إلى العراق»

The first people of the Maghreb entered the Damascus Mosque, and while they were looking at its marvels, the earth trembled, and it sank to the west of its mosque, and it eclipsed a village called Harasta. Then the Sufyani went out and killed them until they entered Egypt, then returned and fought the people of the East until he returned them to Iraq.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #770 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]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Damascus, Iraq, Egypt.
