Hadith 372

(The book) ‘Al-Ghayba’ of Al-Numani – Ali Bin Ahmad, from Ubeydullah Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Abu Ahmad, from Ismail Bin Ayyash, from Muhajir Bin Haleem, from Al Mugheira Bin Sa’ad, ‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘(Amir Al-Momineen-asws said): ‘When two spears differ in Syrian, it will not be uncovered except from a sign from the signs of Allah-azwj’. It was said, ‘And what is it, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘A tremor will take place in Syrian in which more than a hundred thousand would die. Allah-azwj would Make it to be a Mercy for the Momineen and a Punishment upon the Kafirs. When that happens, then look out for the companions of the strong workhorses, with ears cut off, and yellow flags coming from the west until they are loosened in Syrian, and that would be during the great panic and the red death. When that happens, then look out for submergence of a town from the towns of Damascus called Harsha (Harasta). When that happens, the son of the liver-eater (Hinda) would appear from the valley until he sits evenly upon the pulpit of Damascus. When that happens, then await the emergence of Al-Mahdi-ajfj’’.
