Summary
The black banners narration from Ali bin Abi Talib RA in al-Fitan is judged extremely weak because of defects in its narrators: Abu Ruman is unknown, Ibn Lahi'ah's narrations became mixed, Nu'aim bin Hammad has reported rejected narrations, and al-Walid bin Muslim practised tadlis taswiyah. The report is also mawquf, meaning it stops at the Companion and does not reach the Prophet SAW. The fatwa also cites two other hadiths on black banners attributed to the Prophet SAW: al-Barra' bin Azib's hadith, graded hasan li ghairih by Shu'aib al-Arna'out, only describes the colour of the Prophet's banner, while Thauban's hadith, graded sahih by al-Hakim on the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim, mentions black banners from the east. Muslims are still urged to be prepared and cautious about the trials of the end of time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith atau riwayat di atas adalah teramat lemah dari sudut statusnya kerana terdapat banyak kecacatan yang terdapat pada perawi-perawi
