Is this a hadith about the devil group ISIS..mmmm maybe ? The advent of extremist groups who misconstrue the Islamic tradition to suit their own political purposes has been warned about by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) himself. One of a number of examples of such warnings is a narration related by the Prophets cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib that says: from Kitab Al Fitan (Book of Tribulations) by Nuaym ibn Hammad; It is related on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah ennoble his countenance):When you see the black flags, remain where you are and do not move your hands or your feet (Its a common phrase meaning: Stay put and dont get involved in the fighting). Thereafter there shall appear a feeble folk to whom no concern is given. Their hearts will be like fragments of iron. They are the representatives of the State (Ashab al-Dawla). They will fulfill neither covenant nor agreement. They will invite to the Truth, though they are not from its people. Their names will be agnomens [i.e., Abu Musab, Abu Bakr, etc.], and their ascriptions will be to villages (or places) [i.e., al-Misri, al-Harrani, al-Baghdadi, etc.]. Their hair will be long like that of women. [They shall remain so] till they differ among themselves, and then Allah will bring forth the truth from whomever He wills. translation of Hadith Abdul Aziz Suraqah.
