وَ تَسْقُطُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ مَارِقَةٌ تَمْرُقُ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ التُّرْكِ وَ يَعْقُبُهَا هَرْجُ الرُّومِ وَ سَيُقْبِلُ إِخْوَانُ التُّرْكِ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُوا الْجَزِيرَةَ وَ سَتُقْبِلُ مَارِقَةُ الرُّومِ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُوا الرَّمْلَةَ And a party would fall from the right-hand side of a Masjid of Damascus, and rogues would deviate from an area of Turkey and be followed by troubles of Rome, and the brothers of Turks would come until they descend at the island, and the rogues of Rome would come until they descend at Ramlah.
فَتِلْكَ السَّنَةَ يَا جَابِرُ اخْتِلَافٌ كَثِيرٌ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضٍ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَوَّلُ أَرْضِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَرْضُ الشَّامِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ رَايَاتٍ رَايَةِ الْأَصْهَبِ وَ رَايَةِ الْأَبْقَعِ وَ رَايَةِ السُّفْيَانِيِّ So that year, O Jabir, there would be a lot of differing in every land from the areas of the west. Then first land of the west (to be ruined) is the land of Syria.
They will be differing during that upon three flags – a blonde flag, and a spotted flag, and the flag of Al-Sufyani.
فَيَلْتَقِي السُّفْيَانِيُّ بِالْأَبْقَعِ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ وَ يَقْتُلُهُ السُّفْيَانِيُّ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ وَ يَقْتُلُ الْأَصْهَبَ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ هِمَّةٌ إِلَّا الْإِقْبَالَ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ وَ يَمُرُّ جَيْشُهُ بِقِرْقِيسَا فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ بِهَا فَيَقْتُلُ مِنَ الْجَبَّارِينَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ وَ يَبْعَثُ السُّفْيَانِيُّ جَيْشاً إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ وَ عِدَّتُهُمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً فَيُصِيبُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَتْلًا وَ صَلْباً وَ سَبْياً Al-Sufyani would meet with the spotted and they would battle, and Al-Sufyani would kill him and the ones with him, and he will kill the blonde, then there will be no (other) concern for him except going towards Al-Iraq, and he will pass by his army at Qirqisya.
They will battle at it. He will kill one hundred thousand from the tyrants, and Al-Sufyan will send an army to Al-Kufa, and their number would be seventy thousand, and they will attain from the people of Al-Kufa, killing, and crucifying and capturing.
