5 - وبه عن الحصين بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبيه عن جده عمرو بن سعد قال: قال أمير المؤمنين: لا تقوم القيامةُ حتى تفقأ عين الدنيا وتظهر الحمرةُ في السماء، وتلك دموعُ حملة العرش على أهل الأرض حتى يظهر فيهم عصابة لا خَلاق لهم يدّعون لولدي وهم برآء من ولدي، تلك عصابة رديئة لا خلاق لهم، على الأشرار مسلطة، وللجبابرة مفتنة، وللملوك مبيرة، تظهر في سواد الكوفة، يقدمهم رجل أسود اللون والقلب، رثّ الدين، لا خلاق له مهجن زنيم عتل، تداولته أيدي العواهر من الأمهات مِن شرّ نسل لا سقاها الله المطر، في سنة إظهار غيبة المتغيّب من ولدي صاحب الراية الحمراء والعلَم الأخضر. أيّ يوم للمخيّبين بين الأنبار وهيت، ذلك يوم فيه صيلم الأكراد والشراة وخراب دار الفراعنة ومسكن الجبابرة، ومأوى الولاة الظلمة، وأم البلاد وأخت العاد، تلك وربّ عليّ، يا عمرو بن سعد، بغدادُ، ألا لعنة الله على العصاة من بني أمية وبني العباس الخونة الذين يقتلون الطيّبين من ولدي ولا يراقبون فيهم ذمتي ولا يخافون الله فيما يفعلونه بحرمتي. إن لبني العباس يوماً كيوم الطموح ولهم فيه صرخة كصرخة الحُبلى. الويل لشيعة ولد العباس من الحرب التي سنح بين نهاوند والدينور، تلك حرب صعاليك شيعة عليّ يقدمهم رجل من همدان اسمه على اسم النبي . منعوت موصوف باعتدال الخلق وحسن الخلُق ونضارة اللون، له في صوته ضجاج وفي أشفاره وطف وفي عنقه سطع، أفرق الشعر مفلّج الثنايا، على فرسه كبدر تمام إذا تجلّى عند الظلام، يسير بعصابة خير عصابة آوت وتقربت ودانت لله بدين تلك الأبطال من العرب الذين يلحقون حرب الكريهة، والدبَرة يومئذ على الاعداء، إنّ للعدو يوم ذاك الصليم والاستئصال.

Translation

(5) The previous series of narrators narrated from al-Hussayn bin Abdurrahman from his father from his grandfather Amr bin Sa’d that Amirul Mo’mineen (as) had said: “The Day of Resurrection will not come until the eye of the world is gouged out and redness appears in the sky, and this redness is the tears of the bearers of the Throne weeping for the people of the earth, and until a bad gang appears propagandizing for my progeny whereas in fact they are free from my progeny. It is a gang with no morals, prevailing over the evils, deceiving the tyrants and destroying the kings (rulers). It is a gang that appears in Kufa headed by a black-faced and black-hearted man, who is weak in faith, with no morals, hybrid, mean and rude. He is circulated among prostitute mothers from the worst progenies. May Allah have no a bit of mercy upon them. They will appear in the same year, in which my disappearing son with the red banner and the green flag will reappear. What a terrible day for the deviants between Anbar and Heet it will be! A day, on which a great misfortune will occur to the Kurds and the (Kharijites), on which there will be the destruction of the house (city) of the Pharaohs (tyrants), the abode of the arrogants, the shelter of the unjust rulers, the mother of calamities and the sister of shame! O Amr bin Sa’d, by the god of Ali, it is Baghdad! May Allah damn the mutineers of the Umayyads and the Abbasids; the traitors, who will kill my virtuous descendants, who will never regard my sanctity when killing them and who will not fear Allah when doing anything to my progeny. Woe unto the followers of the Abbasids from a war that will break out between Nahawand and ad-Daynour. It will be the war of the paupers of Ali’s Shia headed by a man from Hamadan, whose name will be like the name of the Prophet (S).”
