[Machine] I heard Ali ibn Abi Talib say, "There will be a tribulation in which people will acquire from it like gold is acquired from its mines. So do not curse the people of Sham but curse their darkness, for in them, there are replacements. Allah will send a flood from the sky that will drown them, even if they were to fight them, the foxes would prevail over them. Then Allah will send a man from the descendants of the Prophet ﷺ with twelve thousand followers if they are few or fifteen thousand followers if they are many. Their sign or emblem will unite them under three banners. The people of seven banners will fight against them, and every one who carries a banner desires to attain power. They will fight and be defeated. Then the Hashemite (descendant of Hashem) will appear, and Allah will return His favor and blessings to the people through him. They will continue in this state until the emergence of the Antichrist."  

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ «سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ يُحَصَّلُ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا كَمَا يُحَصَّلُ الذَّهَبُ فِي الْمَعْدِنِ فَلَا تَسُبُّوا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ وَسَبُّوا ظَلَمَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْأَبْدَالُ وَسَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ سَيْبًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَيُغْرِقُهُمْ حَتَّى لَوْ قَاتَلَتْهُمُ الثَّعَالِبُ غَلَبَتْهُمْ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِتْرَةِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا إِنْ قَلُّوا وَخَمْسَةَ عَشْرَ أَلْفًا إِنْ كَثُرُوا أَمَارَتُهُمْ أَوْ عَلَامَتُهُمْ أَمِتْ أَمِتْ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ رَايَاتٍ يُقَاتِلُهُمْ أَهْلُ سَبْعِ رَايَاتٍ لَيْسَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ رَايَةٍ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَطْمَعُ بِالْمُلْكِ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ وَيُهْزَمُونَ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ الْهَاشِمِيُّ فَيَرُدُّ اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ إِلْفَتَهُمْ وَنِعْمَتَهُمْ فَيَكُونُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الدَّجَّالُ»
