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

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا عبد القدوس، عن ابن عياش، عمن حدثه عن كعب، قال: «إذا رجع السفياني دعا إلى نفسه بجماعة أهل المغرب، فيجتمعون له ما لم يجتمعوا لأحد قط، لما سبق في علم الله تعالى، ثم يبعث بعثا من كوفة الأنبار، ثم يلتقي الجمعان بقرقيسيا، فيفرغ عليهما الصبر، ويرفع عنهما النصر، حتى يتفانوا، وإن كان بعثه من قبل المغرب كانت في الوقعة الصغرى، فويل عند ذلك لعبد الله من عبد الله، يثور بحمص، وهو أخبث البرية، ويوقد بدمشق، على يديه هلاك أهل المشرق»

If Al-Sufyani returns, he will summon a group of the people of the Maghreb to himself, and they will gather for him as they have never gathered for anyone else, as Allah Almighty has previously known. Then he will send a delegation from Kufa Al-Anbar, and then the two groups will meet in Qarqisiya, and patience will be exhausted on them and victory will be lifted from them, until they devote themselves. And if his mission was from the Maghreb, it would be in a minor battle, so woe to Abdullah from Abdullah, for he will revolt in Homs, which is the most vile of the wilderness, and will be kindled in Damascus. At his hands, the people of the East were destroyed

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #862 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 : Damascus, Homs.
