"عَن سليمان بن الربيع العدوى قال: خرجتُ من البصرةِ في رجالٍ نُسَّاكٍ فقدمنا مكة، فلقينا عبدَ اللَّه بن عمرو فقال: يوشك بَنُو قَنْطُورا أن يسوقُوا أهلَ خُراسانَ وأَهلَ سَجِسْتَانَ سَوْقًا عنيفًا، ثم يربِطُوا خيولَهم بنخل شطر دِجْلَةَ، ثم قالَ: كم بُعْدُ الأبُلَّةِ من البَصرَة؟ قلنَا: أربعُ فراسخَ، قال: فتجيئون فتنزلونَ بها، ثم تَبعثون إلى أهل البصرة، إما أن تُخْلوا لنا أرضَكم وإما أن نَسِيرَ إليكم، فتتفرقون على ثلاثِ فِرَقٍ، فتلحق فرقة بالشام، وفرقة تلَحق بالبادية، وفرقة تلحق بهم، قال: فقدمنا على عمر فحدَّثناه بها سمعنا من عبد اللَّه بن عمرو، فقال عبد اللَّه بن عمرو: فحدثناه بما قال عمرو فقال: نعم إذا جاء أمر اللَّه جاء ما حدثتكم به، فقلنا: ما نراك إلا قد صدقت".

"Sulayman ibn al-Rabi' al-'Adawi said: I set out from Basra with some ascetic men and we came to Makkah. We met 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr, who said: 'The sons of Qantura will soon drive the people of Khurasan and the people of Sijistan with a fierce driving, then they will tie their horses to the palm trees on the bank of the Tigris.' Then he said: 'How far is al-Ubullah from Basra?' We said: 'Four farsakh.' He said: 'You will come and camp there, then you will send to the people of Basra: either you vacate your land for us, or we will march against you.' Then they will split into three groups: one group will join the Levant, one group will join the desert, and one group will join them.' He said: 'We came to 'Umar and related to him what we had heard from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr. 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr said: We related to him what 'Amr had said. He said: 'Yes, when the command of Allah comes, what I have told you will come to pass.' We said: 'We do not think you have said anything but the truth.'"
