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 ظهر الأبقع مع قوم ذوي أجسام، فتكون بينهم ملحمة عظيمة، ثم يظهر الأخوص السفياني الملعون فيقاتلهما جميعا، فيظهر عليهما جميعا، ثم يسير إليهم منصور اليماني من صنعاء بجنوده، وله فورة شديدة، يستقتل الناس قتل الجاهلية، فيلتقي هو والأخوص، وراياتهم صفر، وثيابهم ملونة، فيكون بينهما قتال شديد، ثم يظهر الأخوص السفياني عليه، ثم تظهر الروم، وتخرج إلى الشام، ثم يظهر الأخوص، ثم يظهر الكندي في شارة حسنة، فإذا بلغ تل سما فأقبل، ثم يسير إلى العراق، وترفع قبل ذلك ثنتا عشرة راية بالكوفة، معروفة منسوبة، ويقتل بالكوفة رجل من ولد الحسن أو الحسين، يدعو إلى أبيه، ويظهر رجل من الموالي، فإذا استبان أمره، وأسرف في القتل قتله السفياني»

If Al-Aqwas appears with a people with strong bodies, then there will be a great battle between them, then the cursed Al-Akhus Al-Sufyani appears and fights them both, and he appears against them all, then Mansour Al-Yamani marches to them from Sana’a with his soldiers, and he has a strong outburst, killing people like a pre-Islamic fight, so he and Al-Akhus meet, and their banners are yellow, and their clothes are colored, and there is an intense fight between them, then Al-Akhus Al-Sufyani appears against him, then the Romans appear, and go out to the Sham (Greater Syria), then he appears. Al-Akhus, then Al-Kindi appears with a good sign, and when he reaches Tel Sama, he arrives, then he marches to Iraq, and before that twelve flags are raised in Kufa, known and attributed, and a man from the descendants of Al-Hassan or Al-Hussein is killed in Kufa, calling for his father, and a man from the loyalists appears, and if his situation becomes clear and he goes to extremes in killing, Al-Sufyani kills him.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #849 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]: Al-Rum, the Romans, were the Byzantine Empire in the Prophet's time. Many narrations about the end speak of the Muslims' relations with them: a truce, a joint war, then the great battle.

[Described Characteristics]: Amr ibn al-As heard that the Hour will come when the Romans are the most numerous of people, and he listed their good qualities: they are the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after a disaster, the best to the poor, orphans and the weak, and they resist the oppression of kings.

[Timeline & Context]: Their part runs through the whole time before the Dajjal: first the truce, then the war, then the conquest of Constantinople.

[Prophetic Practice]: Amr's words teach fairness: name the good in others even when speaking of conflict.

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