Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Asir bin Jabir that he said: In Kufa, a red wind blew. A man came whose habit was nothing except that he would say, "O Abdullah bin Mas'ud, the Day of Judgment has come." The narrator says that Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud was reclining, so he sat up and said: "Indeed, the Day of Judgment will not be established until inheritance is not distributed and there is no joy over receiving spoils of war." And he said: "There will be enemies who will gather against the people of Islam, and the people of Islam will prepare to confront them." And he gestured with his hand towards Syria. (The narrator says) I said, "Do you mean the Romans?" He said, "Yes." The battle will be at its peak at that time. The Muslims will make a pact of death that they will not return except victorious. They will fight until night comes between them; both sides will stop, and neither will be victorious, and the pact will end. Then the Muslims will again make a pact of death that they will not return from the battle except victorious. They will fight until evening; both sides will stop, and neither will be victorious, and the pact will end. Then, when the fourth day comes, the army of the Muslims will attack them. Then Allah Almighty will decree defeat upon them (the enemies of Islam). There will be such a fierce battle among them as has never been seen before, until a bird passes over them and does not go beyond them, but falls dead. Of a hundred sons of one father, only one man will return. Over what spoils will there be joy, and what inheritance will be distributed? While they are in this state, suddenly they will hear of an even greater battle. A crier will come to them and say that the Dajjal is present among their progeny. Whatever things are in their possession, they will leave them and turn their attention (to the Dajjal), and will send ten horsemen as scouts to gather information about the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I know their names and the names of their fathers, and even the colors of their horses. They will be among the best horsemen on the face of the earth."
