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

حدثنا سعيد أبو عثمان، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر، قال: «إذا اختلفت كلمتهم، وطلع القرن ذو الشفاء، لم يلبثوا إلا يسيرا حتى يظهر الأبقع بمصر، يقتلون الناس حتى يبلغوا إرم، ثم يثور المشوه عليه، فتكون بينهما ملحمة عظيمة، ثم يظهر السفياني الملعون، فيظفر بهما جميعا، ويرفع قبل ذلك ثنتي عشرة راية بالكوفة معروفة، ويقتل بالكوفة رجل من ولد الحسين يدعو إلى أبيه، ثم يبث السفياني جيوشه»

If their words differed, and the century of healing rose, they would only remain for a short time until the spotted man appeared in Egypt, killing people until they reached Iram, then the deformed one would revolt against him, and there would be a great battle between them, then the cursed Sufyani would appear and defeat them all, and before that he would raise twelve well-known flags in Kufa, and a man from the descendants of Hussein who would call for his father would be killed in Kufa, then the Sufyani would send out his armies.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #836 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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Kufa, Egypt.
