It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last times there will be a trial (fitnah) in which people will be sifted just as gold is sifted (from its dross) in the mine. So do not revile the people of Syria (al-Sham), but revile the wicked among them, for among them are the Abdal. Soon a calamity will be sent upon the people of Syria from the sky which will scatter their community, until even if foxes fought them, they would overcome them. At that time a man from my household will come out with three banners. The one who gives the larger count will say they are fifteen thousand, and the one who gives the smaller count will say they are twelve thousand. Their watchword will be 'Amit, amit' (Kill, kill). They will meet seven banners, under each of which will be a man seeking kingship, and Allah will destroy them all. And Allah will restore to the Muslims their unity and their blessing, and (the gathering of) those of them far and near."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ibn Lahi'ah except Zayd bin Abi al-Zarqa'."
