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

حدثنا عبد الله بن مروان، عن سعيد بن يزيد التنوخي، عن الزهري، قال: " إذا اختلفت الرايات السود فيما بينهم أتاهم الرايات الصفر، فيجتمعون في قنطرة أهل مصر، فيقتتل أهل المشرق وأهل المغرب سبعا، ثم تكون الدبرة على أهل المشرق حتى ينزلوا الرملة، فيقع بين أهل الشام وأهل المغرب شيء، فيغضب أهل المغرب فيقولون: إنا جئنا لننصركم ثم تفعلون ما يفعلون؟ والله ليخلين بينكم وبين أهل المشرق فينهبونكم، لقلة أهل الشام يومئذ في أعينهم، ثم يخرج السفياني ويتبعه أهل الشام فيقاتل أهل المشرق "

If the black flags disagreed among themselves, the yellow flags would come to them, and they would gather in the bridge of the people of Egypt, and the people of the East and the people of the West would fight seven times, and then the people of the East would be defeated until they descended on Ramla, and something would happen between the people of the Sham (Greater Syria) and the people of the West, and the people of the West would become angry and say: We have come to support you, and then you do what they do? By Allah, He will separate you from the people of the East and plunder you, due to the scarcity of the people of the Sham (Greater Syria) on that day in their eyes. Then Al-Sufyani will emerge, and the people of the Sham (Greater Syria) will follow him, and he will fight the people of the East.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #772 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]: 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 : Sham (Greater Syria), Egypt.
