Hadith 315

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Jabir Al Jufy, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘Stick to the ground (homes). Neither move your hand nor your leg, ever, until you see signs I-asws am mentioning to you in a year! And you will see a caller calling out at Damascus, and there would be submergence with a town from its towns, and a group would fall from its Masjid. Then you will see the Turks exceeding it. The Turks would come until they descend at the island, and the Romans would come until they descend at Ramlah. And it is a year of differing in every land from the lands of the Arabs, and the people of Syria would differ during that upon three flags – the blonde, the spotted and Al-Sufyani with the clan of Zanb Al-Himar Muzar, and with Al-Sufyan would be his maternal uncles from (clan of) Kalb. Al-Sufyan and the ones with him would prevail upon the clan of Zanb Al-Himar until they kill with a killing nothing had been killed (like it) at all! And a man would present at Damascus. He and the ones with him would kill with a killing nothing had been killed (like it) at all, and he is from the clan of Zanb Al-Himar. And it is the Sign which Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is Saying: But the parties disagreed from between them, so woe be unto those who commit Kufr from being present on a Great Day [19: 37]. And Al-Sufyani and the ones with him will prevail until there will not be any concern for him except the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their-asws Shias. So, he will send a detachment to Al-Kufa and hit some people of the Shias of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww at Al-Kufa with killings, and crucifixions. And a flag would come from Khurasan until they descend at the coast of the (river) Tigris. A man from the weak slaves and the ones who follow him would emerge. He will come to the back of Al-Kufa and send a detachment to Al-Medina. He will kill a man at it and Al-Mahdi-ajfj and Al-Mansour would flee from it, and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww would be seized, their-asws young ones and their-asws old ones. Not one of them would be left except he would be imprisoned. And the army would emerge in search of the two men, and Al-Mahdi-ajfj would come out from it upon the Sunnah of Musa-as, fearful, watchful, until he-ajfj arrives at Makkah. And the army will come until when they descend at Al-Bayda, and it is the army of destruction, there will be a submergence with them. No one from them will escape except an informant. Al-Qaim-ajfj will stand between Al-Rukn (Al-Yamani) and Al-Maqam (of Ibrahim-as). He-ajfj will pray Salat and leave, and with him-ajfj would be his-ajfj minister. He-ajfj will say, ‘O you people! We are seeking Help of Allah-azwj against the ones oppressing us and have usurped our rights! One who argues us regarding Allah-azwj, so we are foremost with Allah-azwj! And one who argues with us re
