373 - Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Ya'qub informed us: Ahmad ibn Uthman ibn Yahya narrated to us; Abd al-Karim ibn al-Haytham narrated to us; Ali ibn Salih al-Anmati narrated to us. And by another route: Ahmad ibn Muhammad informed us: Umar ibn Ahmad informed us: Ahmad ibn Abd Allah ibn Khalid narrated to us: Abd al-Karim ibn al-Haytham narrated to us: Ali ibn Salih narrated to us: Yusuf ibn Adi narrated to us, from Mahbub ibn Muhriz, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim ibn Yazid al-Taymi, from al-Harith ibn Suwayd, who said ⦗256⦘: Ali said, “People will vanish until no one remains who says, ‘There is no god but Allah.’ When they do so, the leader of the religion will stir, and they will gather around him from the farthest regions of the earth, just as autumn gourds are gathered.”
Ali then said, “I know the name of their commander and the place where their mounts will halt. They will say, ‘The Quran is created.’ Yet it is neither the Creator nor created; rather, it is the Speech of Allah. From Him it came forth, and to Him it shall return.”
