Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

إذا أقبلت فتنة من المشرق، وفتنة من المغرب، فالتقوا ببطن الشام، فبطن الأرض يومئذ خير من ظهرها

If a trial comes from the East and a trial comes from the West, then they meet in the interior of the Sham (Greater Syria), for the interior of the earth on that day is better than its surface.

قسم الشر سبعين جزءا، فجعل تسعة وستون في البربر، وجزء في سائر الناس حدثنا بقية بن الوليد، عن بشر بن عبد الله بن يسار، قال: سمعت بعض أشياخنا يقول: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: نساء البربر خير من رجالهم، بعث فيهم نبي فقتلوه فولينه النساء فدفنه

He divided evil into seventy parts, making sixty-nine among the Berbers, and one part among the rest of the people. Baqiyya ibn al-Walid told us, on the authority of Bishr ibn Abdullah ibn Yasar, who said: I heard some of our sheikhs say: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: The women of the Berbers are better than their men. He sent among them a prophet, so they killed him, so the women appointed him, so he buried him.
