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، قال: «يملك رجل من بني هاشم فيقتل بني أمية حتى لا يبقى منهم إلا اليسير، لا يقتل غيرهم، ثم يخرج رجل من بني أمية فيقتل لكل رجل اثنين، حتى لا يبقى إلا النساء ثم يخرج المهدي» قال أبو عبد الله نعيم:

A man from the Banu Hashim reigns and kills the Umayyads until only a few of them remain, and no one else is killed. Then a man from the Umayyads emerges and kills two for each man, until only the women remain. Then the Mahdi emerges.

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #968 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 Prophet ﷺ foretold that the ruin of his ummah would come at the hands of young men of Quraysh, and that rule would turn into kingship after thirty years of caliphate. Scholars connect these with the Umayyad dynasty (41-132 AH).

[Described Characteristics]: Abu Hurayrah said he could name them if he wished. Ibn Hajar and others explain that he meant certain Umayyad rulers, beginning around the year 60 AH, and Abu Hurayrah prayed to die before then.

[Timeline & Context]: This was in the first Islamic century, and it has already passed.

[Prophetic Practice]: Abu Hurayrah sought refuge from 'the year sixty and the rule of boys'. Ask Allah for just leaders.
