(12) Ahmad bin Hawtha al-Bahili narrated from Ibraheem bin Iss’haq an-Nahawandi from Abdullah bin Hammad al-Ansari from al-Husayn bin al-Ala’ from Abdullah bin Abu Ya’foor that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir had said: “The Abbasids and al-Marwani will meet in Qarqeessiya’ in a terrible battle that causes a young boy to age. Allah will preclude them from gaining victory and will reveal to the birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground to satiate themselves with the flesh of the tyrants. After that as-Sufyani will rise.”
