H 479 - It is narrated from Qarqara from Nazr bin Laith Maruzi from Ibn Talha Juddari that he said: Narrated to us: Abdullah bin Lahiya from Abi Zaraa from Abdullah bin Razeen from Ammar bin Yasir that he said: “The rule of the Ahle Bayt (a.s) of your Prophet shall be there in the last period of time and there are some signs for it; you should sit tight and keep quiet until you see them. When Rome and Turks attack you; when armies are prepared and that Caliph of yours, who hoards wealth, passes away. He is succeeded by an honest person, but within a few years of his allegiance, he is dismissed from where he was appointed (from Khorasan). Turks and Rome confront each other and battles rage everywhere. A caller will call out from the war shelters of Damascus: Perdition is near for humans. The western portion of the Masjid of Damascus caves in and its boundary walls collapse. Three groups will set out from Damascus to seize power. One would be led by a person on a piebald horse, another on a red horse and a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan would rise up from the province of Kalab; who would bring all the people to Damascus and expel the people of the west to Egypt. When they enter Damascus, it would be the sign for the uprising of Sufyani and before that a person would stage an uprising and call the people to Aale Muhammad (a.s). The Turks would camp in Hira and the Romans would camp at Palestine and Abdullah would march forward till both the armies come face to face at Qurqisiya and a severe battle would ensue at the river banks. When the king of the west marches, he would kill the men and captivate the women. Then he would return to Qays till Sufyani enters the peninsula. Then Yamani would move and take over whatever the people had gathered. Then he would come to Kufa and slay the followers and supporters of Aale Muhammad (a.s); on the contrary, he would also slay the one who is named after them. After that Imam Mahdi (a.s) would arise and his standard would be held by Shuaib bin Salih. When Syrians realize that their country has come under the rule of the descendant of Abu Sufyan, they would go to Mecca. Nafse Zakiyyah and his brother would be killed at that time. A call would be raised from the sky: Your chief (Amir) is so-and-so [that is Imam Mahdi (a.s)], who would fill up the earth with justice and equity, as it would be fraught with injustice and oppression.”
