Hadith 383

(The book) ‘Kifayat Al Aser’ – By the preceding chain in the mentioned chapter, from Alqamah Bin Qays who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws addressed us upon the pulpit of Al-Kufa with the sermon (named as) ‘Al-luluie’ (The pearls). He-asws said among what he-asws said, in its end: ‘Indeed! I-asws will be going away shortly and walking into the unseen, so watch out for the Fitna of the Umayyids, and the kingdom of the Chosroe, and killing off of what Allah-azwj has Revived and revival of what Allah-azwj has Killed off, and take your silos as your homes, and bite upon the likes of fiery coals, and mention Allah-azwj a lot, for His-azwj Mention is the greatest, if only you knew’. Then he-asws said: ‘And a city will be built call Al-Zawra, between (the rivers) Tigris and Dujeyl and the Euphrates. If you were to see it erected with the plaster, and bricks decorated with the gold, and the silver, and the azure stone, and the alabaster, and the marble, and the gates of ivory, and the tents, and the domes, and the curtains, and it has been raised by the teak, and the juniper, and the pine, and the alum erected in the palaces. And the kings of the clan of Sheysaban will ruled upon it, twenty-four kings – Al-Saffah, and Al-Miqlas, and Al-Jamouh, and Al-Khudou, and Al-Muzaffar, and Al-Muannas, and Al-Nazaar, and Al-Kabsh, and Al-Mahtour, and Al-Isar, and Al-Musstalim, and Al-Mustasa’ab, and Al-Allam, and Al-Ruhbany, and Al-Khalie, and Al-Sayyar, and Al-Mutraf, and Al-Kadeed, and Al-Aktab, and Al-Musrif, and Al-Aklab, and Al-Waseem, and Al-Saylam, and Al-Aynoun. And the dusty (grey) dome with red flanks would be made, and its heels would be establisher of the truth (Al-Qaim-ajfj) will spread his-ajfj between the regions like the illuminating moon between the shining stars. Indeed! And there are ten signs for his-ajfj emergence. It’s first is the emergence of the star with the tail approaching from the eleventh. And trouble and turmoil would occur during it, and those are signs of fertility, and from the sign to the sign there are wonders. When the ten signs are terminated, when that happens, the blossoming moon would appear and the sincere Word for Allah-azwj would be completed upon the Tawheed’’. [165]
Note: The author said over here, ‘Al-Shaysaban is a name of Satan-la, and rather he-asws just expressed it to them with that because they are partners of Satan-la, and the well-known is that the number of the caliphs of the Abbasids were thirty-seven. And perhaps he-asws rather counted from them the ones who rule was settled and extended, not the one whose authority was shaky, and his kingdom was gone quickly, like Al-Ameen, and Al-Muntasar, and Al-Mustaeen, and Al-Mu’tiz and their like, etc. ’.
