Did muhammed predicted ISIS ?

I saw an article saying that Mo predicted the IsIs . The following is what said in article

/ If you see the black flags *, then remain on the ground and do not move a hand or a leg.
A group of feeble folk to whom no concern is given will then appear - their hearts are like iron [1].
They are the owners of the state [2].
They fulfill neither a contract nor a covenant [3].
They call to the truth, but they are not its people [4].
Their names are a kuniya and their lineage (surnames) are a town [5].
Their hair is unwinding, like the hair of a women [6].
(Do this) until they differ in it between themselves, then Allah will give the right to whomever HE desires."

Reference: Prophet Muhammad, as narrated by Ali ibn abi Talib, in the collection Kitaab Al Fitan by Nu’am bin Hammad, Hadith # 557 /

Thank you :)

I have very little knowledge

I have very little knowledge in this subject. So I'm guessing here.

It would seem that the text refers to the "Back Standard":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Standard
(A completely black flag, one of the flags flown by Muhammad in Islamic tradition)

"Monochrome flags are an ancient tradition in ancient Eastern, Arabic, and Islamic tradition, and some people believe one of the Prophet’s original banners was black, according to the Quilliam Foundation. Modern jihadists therefore adopted this style to legitimise their causes."
