لينزلن رجل من أهل بيته يقال له عبد الإله، أو عبد الله، على نهر من أنهار المشرق، تبنى عليه مدينتان، يشق النهر بينهما، فإذا أذن الله تعالى في زوال ملكهم، وانقطاع مدتهم بعث الله على إحديهما ليلا نارا، فتصبح سوداء مظلمة، قد احترقت كأنها لم تكن مكانها، وتصبح صاحبتها متعجبة، كيف أفلتت، فما يكون إلا بياض يومها حتى يجمع الله فيها كل جبار عنيد، ثم يخسف الله بها وبهم جميعا، فذلك قوله عز وجل: {حم عسق} [الشورى: 2] ، عزيمة من الله، وقضاء، والعين عذاب، والسين يقول: سيكون قذف واقع بهما، يعني المدينتين

Let a man from his household, called Abdul-Ilah, or Abdullah, descend on a river from the rivers of the East, on which two cities will be built, and the river will divide between them. Then, when Allah Almighty permits the demise of their kingdom and the end of their term, Allah will send fire upon one of them by night, and it will become black and dark, burned as if it had never been in its place, and its companion will become astonished at how it escaped, and it will be nothing but white on its day until Allah gathers in it all the stubborn tyrants, and then Allah will eclipse it. With it and with them all, for that is the Almighty’s saying: {Ham-Asq} [Al-Shura: 2], a determination from Allah, and a decree, and the evil eye is torment, and the evil eye says: There will be a slander that will befall them, meaning the two cities.

توشك أمتان أن تقعدان، على ثفال رحى يطحنان، يخسف بإحديهما، والأخرى تنظر، وسيكون حيان متجاوران، يشق بينهما نهر، يستقيان منه جميعا، يقتبس بعضهم من بعض، فيصبحان يوما من الأيام قد خسف بإحديهما والأخرى تنظر

Two nations are about to sit on the ground of a grinding mill, one of them will eclipse, and the other is watching. There will be two neighborhoods next to each other, a river will divide between them, and they will all draw from it, drawing from each other. One day, one of them will eclipse, while the other is watching.

العين عذاب، والسين السنة والمجاعة، والقاف قوم يقذفون في آخر الزمان ، فقال له عمر رضي الله عنه: ممن هم؟ قال: من ولد العباس في مدينة يقال لها الزوراء، وتقتل فيها مقتلة عظيمة، وعليهم تقوم الساعة ، فقال ابن عباس: ليس ذلك فينا، ولكن القاف قذف وخسف يكون، قال عمر لحذيفة: أما أنت فقد أصبت التفسير، وأصاب ابن عباس المعنى، فأصابت ابن عباس الحمى حتى عاده عمر وعدة من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مما سمع من حذيفة

The evil eye is torment, the sin is the sunnah and famine, and the qāf is a people slandered at the end of time. Omar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Who are they? He said: From the birth of Al-Abbas in a city called Al-Zawraa, and great massacres will be killed there, and upon them will come the Hour. Ibn Abbas said: That is not among us, but Al-Qaf is a slander and an eclipse. Omar said to Hudhayfah: As for you, you have got the interpretation right, and Ibn Abbas got the meaning right. Ibn Abbas was afflicted with a fever until Omar and several of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became accustomed to what he heard from Hudhayfah.

يدخل السفياني الكوفة فيسبيها ثلاثة أيام، ويقتل من أهلها ستين ألفا، ثم يمكث فيها ثماني عشرة ليلة، يقسم أموالها، ودخوله الكوفة بعدما يقاتل الترك والروم بقرقيسيا، ثم ينفتق عليهم من خلفهم فتق فترجع طائفة منهم إلى خراسان، فيقتل خيل السفياني ويهدم الحصون حتى يدخل الكوفة، ويطلب أهل خراسان، ويظهر بخراسان قوم يدعون إلى المهدي، ثم يبعث السفياني إلى المدينة فيأخذ قوما من آل محمد حتى يرد بهم الكوفة، ثم يخرج المهدي ومنصور من الكوفة هاربين، ويبعث السفياني في طلبهما، فإذا بلغ المهدي ومنصور مكة نزل جيش السفياني البيداء، فيخسف بهم، ثم يخرج المهدي حتى يمر بالمدينة فيستنقذ من كان فيها من بني هاشم، وتقبل الرايات السود حتى تنزل على الماء، فيبلغ من بالكوفة من أصحاب السفياني نزولهم فيهربون، ثم ينزل الكوفة حتى يستنقذ من فيها من بني هاشم، ويخرج قوم من سواد الكوفة يقال لهم العصب، ليس معهم سلاح إلا قليل، وفيهم نفر من أهل البصرة، فيدركون أصحاب السفياني فيستنقذون ما في أيديهم من سبي الكوفة، وتبعث الرايات السود بالبيعة إلى المهدي

Al-Sufyani enters Kufa and takes it captive for three days, and kills sixty thousand of its people. Then he stays there for eighteen nights, dividing its wealth. He enters Kufa after fighting the Turks and Romans in Qirqisa. Then he splits a gap on them from behind them, and a group of them returns to Khurasan. He kills the horses of Al-Sufyani and demolishes the forts until he enters Kufa. He seeks the people of Khurasan, and a people calling for the Mahdi will appear in Khurasan. Then he sends Al-Sufyani to Medina. Then he takes a group of people from the family of Muhammad until he returns them to Kufa, then Al-Mahdi and Mansour leave Kufa on the run, and Al-Sufyani sends in search of them. When Al-Mahdi and Mansour reach Mecca, the Sufyani’s army descends on Al-Bayda and overwhelms them. Then Al-Mahdi goes out until he passes through Medina and rescues those who were in it from Bani Hashim. The black flags come forward until they descend on the water, and the Sufyani’s companions in Kufa inform of their landing and they flee, then he descends on Kufa to rescue those in it from Bani Hashim, and a people called the Asab emerge from the black of Kufa. They have no weapons except a few, and among them is a group of the people of Basra. They overtake the companions of the Sufyani and rescue what is in their hands from the captives of Kufa, and the black banners send out the pledge of allegiance to the Mahdi.

يكون خليفة بالشام يغزو المدينة، فإذا بلغ أهل المدينة خروج الجيش إليهم خرج سبعة نفر منهم إلى مكة، فاستخفوا بها، فيكتب صاحب المدينة إلى صاحب مكة: إذا قدم عليك فلان وفلان، يسميهم بأسمائهم، فاقتلهم، فيعظم ذلك صاحب مكة، ثم يتآمرون بينهم، فيأتونه ليلا ويستجيرون به، فيقول: اخرجوا آمنين، فيخرجون، ثم يبعث إلى رجلين منهم فيقتل أحدهما، والآخر ينظر، ثم يرجع إلى أصحابه فيخرجون حتى ينزلوا جبلا من جبال الطائف، فيقيمون فيه، ويبعثون إلى الناس، فينساب إليهم ناس، فإذا كان ذلك غزاهم أهل مكة فيهزمونهم، ويدخلون مكة فيقتلون أميرها ويكونون بها حتى إذا خسف بالجيش استعد أمره وخرج

There will be a caliph in the Sham (Greater Syria) who will invade Medina. When the people of Medina hear that the army is coming to them, seven of them will go to Mecca, and they will take it lightly. Then the owner of Medina will write to the owner of Mecca: If so-and-so and so-and-so comes to you, he will call them by name, then kill them. Then the owner of Mecca will venerate that, and then they will conspire among themselves, so they will come to him at night and seek protection from him, and he will say: “Go out safely.” They descend on a mountain from the mountains of Taif, stay there, and send to the people, and people flock to them. If that happens, the people of Mecca invade them and defeat them. They enter Mecca, kill its prince, and remain there until when it collapses, the army regains its command and goes out.

يبعث صاحب المدينة إلى الهاشميين بمكة جيشا فيهزمونهم، فيسمع بذلك الخليفة بالشام، فيقطع إليهم بعثا فيهم ستمائة عريف، فإذا أتوا البيداء فنزلوها في ليلة مقمرة أقبل راع ينظر إليهم ويعجب ويقول: يا ويح أهل مكة، ما أصابهم؟ فينصرف إلى غنمه، ثم يرجع فلا يرى أحدا، فإذا هم قد خسف بهم، فيقول: سبحان الله، ارتحلوا في ساعة واحدة، فيأتي منزلهم فيجد قطيفة قد خسف ببعضها، وبعضها على ظهر الأرض، فيعالجها فلا يطيقها، فيعرف أنه قد خسف بهم، فينطلق إلى صاحب مكة فيبشره، فيقول صاحب مكة: الحمد لله، هذه العلامة التي كنتم تخبرون، فيسيرون إلى الشام

The owner of the city sends an army to the Hashemites in Mecca, and they defeat them. Then the Caliph in the Sham (Greater Syria) hears of this, so he sends to them a delegation of six hundred corporals. When they come to Al-Bayda and encamp it on a moonlit night, a shepherd comes looking at them and is amazed and says: Oh, woe to the people of Mecca, what has happened to them? So he goes back to his sheep, then returns and does not see anyone, and when they are lost, he says: Glory be to Allah, they left in one hour. Then he comes to their house and finds some of the amaranth has collapsed, and some of it is on the surface of the ground. He treats it and cannot bear it, and he knows that they have been destroyed, so he goes to the ruler of Mecca and gives him the good news. The ruler of Mecca says: Praise be to Allah, this is the sign that you were reporting, so they go to the Sham (Greater Syria).

يأتي جيش من قبل المغرب يريدون هذا البيت، حتى إذا كانوا بالبيداء خسف بهم، فيرجع من كان أمامهم لينظر ما فعل القوم، فيصيبهم ما أصابهم، ويلحق بهم من خلفهم لينظر ما فعلوه فيصيبهم ما أصابهم، فمن كان مستكرها أصابهم ما أصابهم، ثم يبعث الله تعالى كل امرئ منهم على نيته

Whoever was hiding it will be hit by what befell them, then Allah Almighty will resurrect each one of them according to his intention.

يبعث إلى مكة جيش من الشام حتى إذا كانوا بالبيداء خسف بهم

A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was startled in the state of sleep. We said:Allah's Messenger, you have done something in the state of your sleep which you never did before, Thereupon he said: Strange it is that some people of my Ummah would attack the House (Ka'ba) (for killing) a person who would belong to the tribe of the Quraish and he would try to seek protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain ground they would be sunk. We said: Allah's Messenger, all sorts of people throng the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would be amongst them people who would come with definite designs and those who would come under duress and there would be travellers also, but they would all be destroyed through one (stroke) of destruction. though they would be raised in different states (on the Day of Resurrection). Allah would, however, raise them according to their intention

إذا نزل جيش في طلب الذين خرجوا إلى مكة فنزلوا البيداء خسف بهم، ويباد بهم، وهو قوله عز وجل: {ولو ترى إذ فزعوا فلا فوت وأخذوا من مكان قريب} [سبأ: 51] من تحت أقدامهم، ويخرج رجل من الجيش في طلب ناقة له، ثم يرجع إلى الناس فلا يجد منهم أحدا، ولا يحس بهم، وهو الذي يحدث الناس بخبرهم

If an army descends in pursuit of those who went out to Mecca and they camp in Al-Bayda, they will be swallowed up and destroyed. This is what Allah Almighty says: “And if you could see, when they were terrified, they did not escape, and they were taken from a nearby place” [Saba: 51] from under their feet, and a man from the army goes out in search of a camel of his, then he returns to the people and does not find any of them, nor does he sense them, and it is he who tells the people their news.
