Hudhaifah prophesied a sect with black flags
Abu Zahiriyyah reported that Hudhaifah Ibn Yaman said: “Someone will emerge from the East who will call people to the family of Muhammad (s.) and he will be the most distant person from them. He will plant black flags whose beginning will be triumph and whose end will be disbelief. He will be followed by the despised Arabs, lowly clients and escaped servants who moved up from every corner. Their sign will be black, their religion will be association and the majority of them will be disgraced.” I said: “What is disgraced?” He said: “Uncircumcised.” Then Hudhaifah said to Abdullah Ibn Umar: “You will not experience this, O Abu Abdi r-Rahman.” Then Abdullah Ibn Umar said: “But i narrate it. After me there will be a temptation called Haliqah. It eradicates religion. During this temptation, the obvious Arabs, pious clients, disbelievers, and intelligent people will perish, and it will give way to the fewest of the few.” [Al-Malahim by Ibn Tawus, page 36]
