An Investigation into the Sufyani's Crimes Based on Shia and Sunni Hadiths
Abstract
Sufyani will be one of the rebellious leaders of the wars of the apocalypse, preceding Imam Mahdi's (A.S.) advent. The present study aimed to investigate the Sufyani's wars and his crimes based on the Shia and Sunni hadiths and to find out the possible differences and similarities between the given Shia and Sunni hadiths in terms of their content. In this study, the data were collected through library research and analyzed descriptively-analytically. The Analyses showed that Sufyani will commit horrible crimes, including killing Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) descendent and his Shiites, killing religious scholars and his opponents, cruelly slaughtering people, particularly women and children. His main purposes in doing so are to fight Imam Mahdi (A.S.), conquer his proponents, and gain power. However, according to the hadiths, he will eventually be killed by Imam Mahdi or his army. Some hadith predict that he will be killed by other people. Yet, others narrate that he and his army will be killed in al-Rramlah on Yawm al-Ibdal.
