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

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله التيهرتي، عن معاوية بن صالح، عن شريح بن عبيد، وراشد بن سعد، وضمرة بن حبيب، ومشايخهم قالوا: «يبعث السفياني خيله وجنوده، فيبلغ عامة الشرق من أرض خراسان وأرض فارس، فيثور بهم أهل المشرق فيقاتلونهم، ويكون بينهم وقعات في غير موضع، فإذا طال عليهم قتالهم إياه بايعوا رجلا من بني هاشم وهو يومئذ في آخر الشرق، فيخرج بأهل خراسان على مقدمته رجل من بني تميم مولى لهم أصفر قليل اللحية، يخرج إليه في خمسة آلاف، إذا بلغه خروجه فيبايعه، فيصيره على مقدمته، لو استقبلته الجبال الرواسي لهدها، فيلتقي هو وخيل السفياني فيهزمهم ويقتل منهم مقتلة عظيمة ، ثم تكون الغلبة للسفياني ويهرب الهاشمي، ويخرج شعيب بن صالح مختفيا إلى بيت المقدس، يوطئ للمهدي منزله إذا بلغه خروجه إلى الشام»

Al-Sufyani sends his horses and his soldiers, and he reaches the entire east from the land of Khorasan and the land of Persia, and the people of the east revolt against them and fight them, and there will be conflicts between them in different places. If their fight against him lasts for a long time, they pledge allegiance to a man from Banu Hashim, and he is at the end of the east that day. Then he goes out with the people of Khurasan, with a yellow-bearded man from Banu Tamim, a servant of theirs, going out to him with five thousand. The mountains of Rawasi welcomed him to their destination, and he and the horses of the Sufyani met and defeated them and killed many of them, then the Sufyani would gain the upper hand and the Hashemi would flee, and Shuaib bin Saleh would go out in hiding to Bayt al-Maqdis, to provide his home for the Mahdi when he was informed of his departure to the Sham (Greater Syria).

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #915 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 Mahdi ('the rightly guided one') is a man from the Prophet's family, through Fatimah, who will lead the Muslims near the end of time and fill the earth with justice as it had been filled with oppression.

[Described Characteristics]: His name will match the Prophet's name and his father's name the Prophet's father's name (Muhammad ibn Abdullah). He has a broad forehead and a fine, high nose. He rules for seven years, wealth is plentiful in his time, and he gives it out by the handful without counting. Isa (AS) descends while he is about to lead the prayer.

[Timeline & Context]: He comes before the Dajjal, in the time of the great wars with the Romans, around the conquest of Constantinople and the descent of Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: Waiting for a rescuer is not the Sunnah. Work for justice where you are, and do not follow anyone who claims the title.

[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 : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem), Sham (Greater Syria), Khurasan.
