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

قال الوليد: فحدثني شيخ، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي، قال: " يقتل أربعة نفر بالشام، كلهم ولد خليفة: رجل من بني مروان، ورجل من آل أبي سفيان "، قال: «فيظهر السفياني على المروانيين فيقتلهم، ثم يتبع بني مروان فيقتلهم، ثم يقبل على أهل المشرق وبني العباس حتى يدخل الكوفة» قال أبو جعفر: «ينازع السفياني بدمشق أحد بني مروان، فيظهر على المرواني فيقتله، ثم يقتل بني مروان ثلاثة أشهر، ثم يقبل على أهل المشرق حتى يدخل الكوفة»

Then Al-Sufyani appears against the Marwanites and kills them, then he follows the Banu Marwan and kills them, then he approaches the people of the East and the Banu Abbas until he enters Kufa. Al-Sufyani disputes in Damascus with one of the Banu Marwan, so he appears against Al-Marwani and kills him, then he kills the Banu Marwan for three months, then he approaches the people of the East until he enters Kufa.

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #838 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]: The Abbasids, descendants of the Prophet's uncle al-Abbas, overthrew the Umayyads in 132 AH and ruled from Baghdad. Some reports are said to foretell their rise.

[Described Characteristics]: The reports that name them, or speak of a ruler called al-Saffah, are weak, and some were spread during the revolution itself. No sahih narration names the Abbasids.

[Timeline & Context]: They ruled from the second to the seventh Islamic century, until the Mongols ended their caliphate in Baghdad in 656 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: When a movement claims prophecy for itself, check the grade of the narration first.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Damascus, Sham (Greater Syria), Kufa.
