Hadith Number: 8871
اخبرني احمد بن محمد بن سلمة العنزي، حدثنا عثمان بن سعيد الدارمي، حدثنا سعيد بن ابي مريم، اخبرنا نافع بن يزيد، حدثني عياش بن عباس، ان الحارث بن يزيد حدثه، انه سمع عبد الله بن زرير (1) الغافقي يقول: سمعت علي بن ابي طالب يقول: ستكون فتنة يحصل الناس منها كما يحصل الذهب في المعدن، فلا تسبوا اهل الشام وسبوا ظلمتهم، فإن فيهم الابدال، وسيرسل الله إليهم سيبا (2) من السماء فيغرقهم، حتى لو قاتلهم الثعالب غلبتهم، ثم يبعث الله عند ذلك رجلا من عترة الرسول ﷺ في اثني عشر الفا إن قلوا، وخمسة (3) عشر الفا إن كثروا، امارتهم - او علامتهم -: امت امت، على ثلاث رايات، يقاتلهم اهل سبع رايات، ليس من صاحب راية إلا وهو يطمع بالملك، فيقتلون ويهزمون، ثم يظهر الهاشمي، فيرد الله إلى الناس الفتهم ونعمتهم، وإناضتهم وبريرهم (4)، فيكونون على ذلك حتى يخرج الدجال (5).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Soon there will be a tribulation in which people will be sifted and separated just as gold is separated (from earth) in a mine. So do not revile the people of Syria, but revile their oppressors, for among them are the Abdal (the chosen servants of Allah). Soon Allah Almighty will send upon them (the oppressors) a calamity (a flood or disaster) from the sky that will drown them, so much so that if even foxes fought them, they would overcome them. Then at that time Allah Almighty will raise up a man (al-Mahdi) from the family ('itrah) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), with twelve thousand (if they are few) or fifteen thousand (if they are many) people with him. Their slogan (or sign) will be 'Amit, amit' (Kill, kill). They will fight under three banners, while opposing them will be the people of seven banners, every banner-bearer among whom will covet kingship. So they (the opponents) will be killed and defeated. Then that Hashimi (al-Mahdi) will appear, and Allah Almighty will restore to the people their harmony, blessings, prosperity and provision (grain, the fruit of the arak and the like), and they will remain in this state until the Dajjal emerges."
This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Hadith-science notes and terminology
Note / Clarification: In our manuscripts this word is written in the shape of "Razin", which is a corruption. In "Talkhis al-Dhahabi" it is in its correct form.
(1) رسمت في نسخنا الخطية على رسم رزين وهو تحريف، وفي "تلخيص الذهبي" على الصواب.
Note / Clarification: "Al-sayyib" (with sin) is a dialectal variant of "al-sayyib" (with sad), and the form with sad is better. It means the falling of rain. See al-Khattabi's "Gharib al-Hadith" [1/ 492].
(2) السيِّب لغة في الصيِّب، وبالصاد أجود: وهو نزول المطر. انظر "غريب الحديث" للخطابي 1/ 492.
Note / Clarification: Our manuscripts have "wa-khams", whereas what is recorded in the text is taken from "al-Talkhis", and that is the standard usage.
(3) في نسخنا الخطية وخمس، والمثبت من "التلخيص"، وهو الجادّة.
Note / Clarification: This is how it is in the manuscripts, and the word "bariruhum" is absent from manuscript (M). "Al-inad" is the ripening of dates, and "al-barir" is the fruit of the arak (salvadora) tree. In Nu'aym bin Hammad's "al-Fitan" (1005) the wording is: "wa-fadatuhum wa-bazaratuhum" (the narrator said:) We asked: What are the fadah and the bazarah? He said: Matters will be let loose (opened up) to the point that a man will say whatever he wishes and will fear nothing.
(4) هكذا في نسخنا الخطبة، و "بريرهم" ليس في (م). والإناض: حمل النخل النضيج، والبَرير: ثمر الأراك. وعند نعيم في "الفتن" (1005): وفاضتهم وبزارتهم … قلنا: وما الفاضة والبزارة؟ قال: يفيض الأمر حتى يتكلم الرجل بما شاء، لا يخشى شيئًا.
Grading: Its narrators are acceptable (la ba'sa bihim), but its text (matn) is very unusual (gharib).
(5) رجاله لا بأس بهم، ومتنه غريب جدًّا.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by al-Tabarani in "al-Awsat" (3905), and via him by Ibn 'Asakir in "Tarikh Dimashq" [1/ 334 - 335], via 'Ali bin al-Husayn al-Khawwas, from Zayd bin Abi al-Zarqa', from Ibn Lahi'ah, from 'Ayyash bin 'Abbas, from 'Abdullah bin Zurayr, from 'Ali, as marfu' to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Ibn Lahi'ah is weak because of his poor memory. And in the chain leading to him is 'Ali bin al-Husayn al-Khawwas, who is majhul (unknown), even though Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat" [8/ 474]. Ibn 'Asakir [1/ 334] narrated it via al-Walid bin Muslim, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from 'Ayyash, from Ibn Zurayr, from 'Ali, and gave its opening part (the account of people being sifted as gold is sifted) as marfu'.

Reference / Source: Al-Tabarani also narrated this account as marfu' in "al-Awsat" (291), with the chain Ahmad bin Rishdin, from Muhammad bin Sufyan al-Hadrami, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from 'Ayyash bin 'Abbas, 'Abdullah bin Hubayrah and al-Harith bin Yazid, from Ibn Zurayr, from 'Ali.

وأخرج هذه القصة منه مرفوعة أيضًا الطبراني في "الأوسط" (291) عن أحمد بن رشدين، عن محمد بن سفيان الحضرمي، عن ابن لهيعة عن عياش بن عباس وعبد الله بن هبيرة والحارث بن يزيد، عن ابن زرير، عن علي وابن رشدين شيخ الطبراني ضعيف، وشيخه محمد بن سفيان لا يُعرف.
Reference / Source: Nu'aym bin Hammad narrated it in abridged form as mawquf in "al-Fitan" (1005) via 'Abdullah bin Wahb, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from al-Harith bin Yazid, from Ibn Zurayr, from 'Ali (abridged, from the words "Allah will send a man" to the end, with similar wording).
وأخرجه مختصرًا موقوفًا نعيم بن حماد في "الفتن" (1005) عن عبد الله بن وهب، عن ابن لهيعة، عن الحارث بن يزيد، عن ابن زرير، عن علي، مختصرًا من قوله: يبعث الله رجلًا، إلى آخره بنحوه.
Reference / Source: He also narrated it likewise at (1006) via Rishdin bin Sa'd, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from 'Ayyash, from Ibn Zurayr, from 'Ali.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): Rishdin is weak.

وأخرجه كذلك (1006) عن رشدين بن سعد، عن ابن لهيعة، عن عياش، عن ابن زرير، عن علي. ورشدين ضعيف.
Reference / Source: Ibn 'Asakir [1/ 335] narrated it in abridged form, concerning the prohibition of reviling the people of Syria and that the abdal are among them, via 'Abdullah bin Salih, from Abu Shurayh 'Abd al-Rahman bin Shurayh, from al-Harith bin Yazid, from Ibn Zurayr, from 'Ali.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): 'Abdullah bin Salih had a poor memory, and there is an unknown element in the chain leading to him.

وأخرجه مختصرًا في النهي عن سبِّ أهل الشام وأنَّ فيهم الأبدال: ابن عساكر 1/ 335 من طريق عبد الله بن صالح، عن أبي شريح عبد الرحمن بن شريح، عن الحارث بن يزيد، عن ابن زرير، عن علي. وعبد الله بن صالح سيئ الحفظ، وفي الطريق إليه جهالة.
Note / Clarification: The manuscripts have "qaza'", whereas what we have recorded (in the text) is correct. "Al-qaza'" means scattered patches of cloud.
(1) في النسخ الخطية: قزع، والجادّة ما أثبتنا. والقَزَع: القطع المتفرقة من السحاب.
