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

حدثنا رشدين، عن ابن لهيعة، عن أبي قبيل، عن سعيد بن الأسود، عن ذي قرنات قال: " يختلف الناس في صفر، ويفترق الناس على أربعة نفر: رجل بمكة العائذ، ورجلين بالشام، أحدهما السفياني والآخر من ولد الحكم، أزرق أصهب، ورجل من أهل مصر جبار، فذلك أربعة "

The people disagreed in Safar, and the people divided into four groups: a man in Mecca who sought refuge, and two men in the Sham (Greater Syria), one of whom was Sufyani and the other from the son of Al-Hakam, blue and red-haired, and a man from the people of Egypt who was a mighty man, so that is four.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #842 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 : Makkah, Sham (Greater Syria), Egypt.
