Hadith 12835
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُعُودًا نَذْكُرُ الْفِتَنَ فَأَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَهَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ فِتْنَةَ الْأَحْلَاسِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ قَالَ ”فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ هِيَ فِتْنَةُ هَرْبٍ وَحَرْبٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّاءِ دَخَلُهَا أَوْ دَفَعُهَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مِنِّي وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي إِنَّمَا وَلِيِّيَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ثُمَّ يَصْطَلِحُ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَوَرِكٍ عَلَى ضِلَعٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ الدُّهَيْمَاءِ لَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لَطَمَتْهُ لَطْمَةً فَإِذَا قِيلَ انْقَطَعَتْ تَمَادَّتْ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا حَتَّى يَصِيرَ النَّاسُ إِلَى فُسْطَاطَيْنِ فُسْطَاطِ إِيمَانٍ لَا نِفَاقَ فِيهِ وَفُسْطَاطِ نِفَاقٍ لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ غَدٍ“
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing tribulations. He also mentioned many tribulations, including the tribulation of Ahlaas. A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the tribulation of Ahlaas? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tribulation of Ahlaas refers to a time of war, conflict, and destruction. Then the tribulation of prosperity and ease will emerge; its beginning, end, leadership, and responsibility will be in the hands of a man who, according to his own assumption, will be from me, but he will not be from me. My friends are only the pious people. Then people will make peace with a person who will not be permanently fit or worthy of kingship. After that, a tribulation consisting of dreadful calamity and disaster will appear; it will shake every individual of this Ummah. When it will be said that the tribulation has ended, it will intensify and come forth even more. A person will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening. People will split into two groups: one group will be of believers, in which there will be no hypocrisy, and the other group will be of hypocrites, in which there will be no faith. When the matter reaches this point, then await the Dajjal; he may come that very day, or he may come the next day.
Hadith 12836
وَعَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا صَاحِبُ الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ بِأَحَقَّ مِنْ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ ثُمَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا بِآخِرَةٍ الْآنَ وَالدِّينَارُ وَالدِّرْهَمُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى أَحَدِنَا مِنْ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”لَئِنْ أَنْتُمُ اتَّبَعْتُمْ أَذْنَابَ الْبَقَرِ وَتَبَايَعْتُمْ بِالْعِينَةِ وَتَرَكْتُمُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَيَلْزِمَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ مَذَلَّةً فِي أَعْنَاقِكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْزَعُ مِنْكُمْ حَتَّى تَرْجِعُوا إِلَى مَا كُنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ“ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”لَتَكُونَنَّ هِجْرَةٌ بَعْدَ هِجْرَةٍ إِلَى مُهَاجَرِ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِينَ إِلَّا شِرَارُ أَهْلِهَا وَتَلْفِظُهُمْ أَرْضُوهُمْ وَتَقْذَرُهُمْ رُوحُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَحْشُرُهُمُ النَّارُ مَعَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ تَقِيلُ حَيْثُ يَقِيلُونَ وَتَبِيتُ حَيْثُ يَبِيتُونَ وَمَا سَقَطَ مِنْهُمْ فَلَهَا“ وَلَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يُسِيئُونَ الْأَعْمَالَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ“ قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ ”يَحْقِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلَهُ مَعَ عَمَلِهِمْ يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ثُمَّ إِذَا خَرَجُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلُوهُ كُلَّمَا طَلَعَ مِنْهُمْ قَرْنٌ قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ“ فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen those days when a person used to give more importance to his Muslim brother than to a wealthy and rich man, but now I see that dinars and dirhams are dearer to us than our Muslim brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If you abandon jihad, become occupied with the tails of cows, and start engaging in ‘inah transactions, Allah Almighty will impose humiliation upon you, and that humiliation will not be removed from you until you repent to Allah Almighty and return to your original religion. And I also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Migration will continue towards the place of migration of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), until only the worst people remain on the rest of the earth. Their land will expel them, Allah Almighty’s spirit will abhor them, and the fire will gather them together with monkeys and pigs, surrounding them in one place, where they will take their midday rest, and the fire will rest there as well; where they spend the night, the fire will also spend the night there, and whoever among them falls, the fire will burn him. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: In my Ummah, there will arise a people of evil deeds, who will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go beyond their throats. (Apparently, their deeds will be so good that) you will consider your own deeds insignificant compared to theirs. They will kill the people of Islam. When such people appear, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them and also for the one who is killed by them. When their generation appears, Allah Almighty will destroy it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this twenty or more times, and I kept listening.
Hadith 12837
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
Hadith 12838
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءًا مَكِيثًا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ ”سِتٌّ فِيكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ مَوْتُ نَبِيِّكُمْ“ فَكَأَنَّمَا انْتَزَعَ قَلْبِي مِنْ مَكَانِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”وَاحِدَةً“ قَالَ ”وَيَفِيضُ الْمَالُ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ فَيَظَلُّ يَتَسَخَّطُهَا“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”ثِنْتَيْنِ“ قَالَ ”وَفِتْنَةٌ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”ثَلَاثٌ“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”وَمَوْتٌ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أَرْبَعٌ وَهُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ لَيَجْمَعُونَ لَكُمْ تِسْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ كَقَدْرِ حَمْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ ثُمَّ يَكُونُونَ أَوْلَى بِالْغَدْرِ مِنْكُمْ“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”خَمْسٌ“ قَالَ ”وَفَتْحُ مَدِينَةٍ“ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”سِتٌّ“ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ مَدِينَةٍ قَالَ ”قُسْطَنْطِينَةُ“
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution slowly and calmly. He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and, seeing me, said: O my Ummah! (Before the Day of Judgment) six major events will occur among you. The first thing is the death of your Prophet. Hearing this, it felt as if my heart flew out of its place. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is one. Then he said: And there will be such abundance of wealth among you that if someone is given ten thousand, he will consider it little and express displeasure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the second sign. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A tribulation will arise that will enter the house of each one of you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the third sign. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Deaths will occur in such abundance, just as sheep die due to a particular disease. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the fourth sign. And there will be a truce between you and Banu Asfar; they will maintain peace with you for the duration of a woman's pregnancy, that is, nine months, then they will betray you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the fifth sign. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And a city will be conquered; this will be the sixth sign. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Which city? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Constantinople.
Hadith 12839
وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”سِتٌّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ مَوْتِي وَفَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَمَوْتٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي النَّاسِ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ وَفِتْنَةٌ يَدْخُلُ حَرْبُهَا بَيْتَ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَأَنْ يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ فَيَتَسَخَّطُهَا وَأَنْ تَغْدِرَ الرُّومُ فَيَسِيرُونَ فِي ثَمَانِينَ بَنْدًا كُلُّ بَنْدٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا“
Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Six matters are among the signs of the Day of Judgment: (1) My death, (2) The conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis, (3) Widespread deaths among people like the plague among sheep, (4) The tribulation whose fire of battle will reach every Muslim household, (5) (Wealth will become so abundant that) if a man is given a thousand dinars, he will consider it little and express displeasure, and (6) The Romans’ breach of trust and disloyalty; they will march under eighty banners, and under each banner there will be twelve thousand men.
Hadith 12840
وَعَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ”عَوْفٌ“ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ ”ادْخُلْ“ قَالَ قُلْتُ كُلٌّ أَوْ بَعْضِي قَالَ ”بَلْ كُلُّكَ“ قَالَ ”اعْدُدْ يَا عَوْفُ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ أَوَّلُهُنَّ مَوْتِي“ قَالَ فَاسْتَبْكَيْتُ حَتَّى جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَكِّتُنِي قَالَ قُلْتُ إِحْدَى ”وَالثَّانِيَةُ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ“ قُلْتُ اثْنَيْنِ ”وَالثَّالِثَةُ مَوْتَانٌ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي يَأْخُذُهُمْ مِثْلَ قُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ“ قَالَ ”ثَلَاثًا وَالرَّابِعَةُ فِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي وَأَعْظَمُهَا“ قَالَ ”أَرْبَعًا وَالْخَامِسَةُ يَفِيضُ الْمَالُ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى الْمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَتَسَخَّطُهَا“ قَالَ ”خَمْسًا وَالسَّادِسَةُ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَسِيرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ عَلَى ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً“ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْغَايَةُ قَالَ ”الرَّايَةُ تَحْتَ كُلِّ رَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا فُسْطَاطُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي أَرْضٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْغُوطَةُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا دِمَشْقُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Awf bin Malik Ashja‘i Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam. He asked: Is it ‘Awf? I said: Yes. He said: Come in. I asked: Should I come in completely or partially? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Come in completely. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Awf! Count six major signs that will occur before the Day of Judgment. The first sign is my death. Upon hearing this, I began to weep, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began to console me. I said: This is one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The second is the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). I said: This is the second. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The third sign is that there will be so many deaths in my Ummah, just as sheep die in an epidemic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the third, and the fourth sign is that there will be a great tribulation. This is the fourth, and the fifth is that wealth will become so abundant that when someone is given one hundred dinars, he will consider it little and express anger. He said: This is the fifth, and the sixth sign is that there will be a truce between you and Banu al-Asfar, but they (breaking the covenant) will come under the same banners. I asked: What is meant by “ghayah”? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It means a banner; under each banner there will be twelve thousand people. In those days, the center of the Muslims will be at a place called Ghutah in Damascus.

Khalid bin Khalid Yashkari says: When Tustar was conquered, I went to Kufa during those days. I entered a mosque and saw that people were sitting there in a circle. Among them was a slender man, whose front teeth or mouth was very beautiful; it seemed as if he was from Hijaz. I asked: Who is this gentleman? The people said: Do you not know him? I said: No. They told me that he is the companion of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him). Hearing this, I also sat down. He continued talking to the people. He also stated that people used to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, but I used to ask him about evil. People were surprised at this, but he said: The thing at which you are surprised, I will explain to you. When Islam came, such an environment was created that was different from the era of ignorance, while I had a considerable understanding of the Qur’an. People used to come and ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, but I used to ask about evil. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will there be an era of evil (and tribulations) after this good (i.e., guidance and Islam), just as there was before? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. I said: What will be the way to avoid it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sword. I said: After the sword has been used, will any part of Islam remain? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, but there will be internal fighting and outward peace. After that, callers to misguidance and deviation will appear openly. If in those days you see a caliph, then adhere to him, even if he harms your body and seizes your wealth; otherwise, die in such a state that you are clinging to the trunk of a tree. I said: Then what will happen? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the Dajjal will appear; he will have a river of water and also fire. Whoever enters his fire, for him there will be a definite reward (and salvation) with Allah, and all his sins will be forgiven. But whoever enters his river, he will be sinful and all his reward and merit will be lost. I said: What will happen after that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After that, the Hour (Day of Judgment) will come so quickly that the mare which gives birth in those days will not have been ridden yet when the Hour will be established. "Al-Sada'u min al-rijal" means "al-darb," that is, a man with little flesh. The question of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) about what will be the way to avoid this tribulation, and the answer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it will be the sword, Imam Qatadah interpreted this as referring to the apostasy that occurred during the era of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). "Imarah 'ala aqdha'in wa hudnah" means peace, and "al-dakhan" means inner hatred and impurity. When the narrator of the hadith, 'Abd al-Razzaq, was asked who explained these words, he said that Imam Qatadah did.
Hadith 12842
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ كَمَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ شَرٌّ قَالَ ”يَا حُذَيْفَةُ اقْرَأْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ“ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي فَأَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ خَيْرًا اتَّبَعْتُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَرًّا اجْتَنَبْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَالَ ”نَعَمْ فِتْنَةٌ عَمْيَاءُ عَمَّاءُ صَمَّاءُ وَدُعَاةُ ضَلَالَةٍ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ مَنْ أَجْلَبَهُمْ قَذَفُوهُ فِيهَا“
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Will there be an era of evil (and tribulation) after this good (i.e., guidance and Islam), just as there was before? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hudhayfah! Keep reciting the Book of Allah and keep acting upon it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from me, but I repeated my question three times. I knew that if there would be good, I would follow it, and in case of evil, I would avoid it. Therefore, I asked again: Will there be an era of evil after this good? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, there will be blind tribulation, and in it there will be people who will be callers standing at the doors of Hell; whoever responds to them, they will throw him into Hell.
Hadith 12843
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”الْآيَاتُ خَرَزَاتٌ مَنْظُومَاتٌ فِي سِلْكٍ فَإِنْ يَقْطَعِ السِّلْكَ يَتْبَعُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The signs of the Day of Judgment are like beads threaded on a string; when the string breaks, they fall one after another.
Hadith 12844
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرَى رُعَاةُ الشَّاءِ رُؤُوسَ النَّاسِ وَأَنْ يُرَى الْحُفَاةُ الْعُرَاةُ الْجُوعُ يَتَبَارَوْنَ فِي الْبِنَاءِ وَأَنْ تَلِدَ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا أَوْ رَبَّتَهَا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Among the signs of the Day of Judgment is that the shepherds of goats will become the leaders and rulers of the people, and the barefoot, naked, and hungry people will compete with each other in constructing buildings, and slave girls will give birth to their masters or mistresses.
Hadith 12845
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”تَبَادَرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ سِتًّا طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَالدَّجَّالَ وَالدُّخَّانَ وَدَابَّةَ الْأَرْضِ وَخُوَيْصَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَأَمْرَ الْعَامَّةِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Before the appearance of these six signs, do as many good deeds as you can: (1) the rising of the sun from the west, (2) the Dajjal, (3) the smoke, (4) the beast of the earth, (5) the state of every soul being concerned only with itself, and (6) the matter of the common people.
Hadith 12846
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ فُرَاتٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنِ أُسَيْدِ الْغِفَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ تَحْتَهَا نَتَحَدَّثُ قَالَ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ”مَا تَذْكُرُونَ“ قَالُوا السَّاعَةَ قَالَ ”إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَنْ تَقُومَ حَتَّى تَرَوْا عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ خَسْفٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَخَسْفٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ وَخَسْفٌ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَالدُّخَانُ وَالدَّجَّالُ وَالدَّابَةُ وَطَلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَيَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَنَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قَعْرِ عَدْنٍ تُرَحِّلُ النَّاسَ“ فَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ سَمِعْتُهُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ”تَنْزِلُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ نَزَلُوا أَوْ تَقِيلُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَالُوا“ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رَجُلٌ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ ”نُزُولُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ“ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ ”رِيحٌ تُلْقِيهِمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ“
Abu Sarihah, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Asid Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in an upper room and we were talking below. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards us and asked: "What are you discussing?" The people said: "About the Hour (Day of Judgment)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until you see these ten signs: (1) The sinking of the earth in the East. (2) The sinking in the West. (3) The sinking in the Arabian Peninsula. (4) Smoke. (5) The Dajjal. (6) The Beast of the Earth. (7) The rising of the sun from the West. (8) The appearance of Gog and Magog. (9) A fire that will emerge from the farthest part of Aden and will drive people forward." Imam Shu’bah says: "I also heard from Furat that wherever people stop, that fire will also stop, and wherever they take a midday rest, it will also rest." Imam Shu’bah says: "Besides Furat, another man also narrated this hadith to me; he narrated from Abu Tufail, and Abu Tufail took it from Sayyiduna Abu Sarihah, but he did not narrate this hadith as being raised (marfu‘) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One of these two shaykhs also mentioned the descent of ‘Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) and the wind that will cast people into the sea as signs of the Hour."
Hadith 12847
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَوْبَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”عُمْرَانُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ خَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ وَخَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ خُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ وَخُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ فَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ خُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ“ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ أَوْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَقُّ كَمَا أَنَّكَ قَاعِدٌ“ وَكَانَ مَكْحُولٌ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يُخَامِرَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The flourishing of Bayt al-Maqdis will be the ruin of Yathrib, the ruin of Yathrib will be the occurrence of bloodshed, and the bloodshed will be the conquest of Constantinople, and the conquest of Constantinople will be the emergence of the Dajjal. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on the thigh or shoulder of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: All these matters are as certain as your sitting here.
Hadith 12848
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”الْمَلْحَمَةُ الْعُظْمَى وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَخُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Great bloodshed, the conquest of Constantinople, and the emergence of Dajjal—these three events will occur within seven months.
Hadith 12849
وَعَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ نُفَيْلِ السَّكُونِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ أُتِيتَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ ”نَعَمْ“ قَالَ وَبِمَاذَا قَالَ ”بِمُسْخَنَةٍ“ قَالُوا فَهَلْ كَانَ فِيهَا فَضْلٌ عَنْكَ قَالَ ”نَعَمْ“ قَالَ فَمَا فُعِلَ بِهِ قَالَ ”رُفِعَ وَهُوَ يُوحَى إِلَيَّ أَنِّي مَكْفُوتٌ غَيْرُ لَابِثٍ فِيكُمْ وَلَسْتُمْ لَابِثِينَ بَعْدِي إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ تَلْبَثُونَ حَتَّى تَقُولُوا مَتَى وَسَتَأْتُونَ أَفْنَادًا يُفْنِي بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَبَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ مَوْتَانٌ شَدِيدٌ وَبَعْدَهُ سَنَوَاتُ الزَّلَازِلِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail Sakuni (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were present in the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when suddenly a man asked you: O Messenger of Allah! Has food ever come to you from the sky? You (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes. He then asked: What was with it? You (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: With it was such a vessel in which the food remained hot. The companions asked: Was anything left from that food? You replied: Yes. He then asked: What became of it? You (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: It was taken up, and revelation began to come to me that death is approaching me and I will no longer remain among you, and you too will remain for only a short time after me, rather you will remain for such a short period that you will ask one another: Have we departed so soon? And you will come in groups and destroy one another, and before the Day of Judgment, deaths will become widespread, and after that, the years of earthquakes will begin.
Hadith 12850
وَعَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ زُغْبٍ الْإِيَادِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَوَالَةَ الْأَزْدِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لِي وَإِنَّهُ لَنَازِلٌ عَلَيَّ فِي بَيْتِي بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا لِنَغْنَمَ فَرَجَعْنَا وَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ شَيْئًا وَعَرَفَ الْجَهْدَ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فَقَالَ ”اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَأَضْعُفَ وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ“ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”لَيُفْتَحَنَّ لَكُمُ الشَّامُ وَالرُّومُ وَفَارِسُ أَوِ الرُّومُ وَفَارِسُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَمِنَ الْغَنَمِ حَتَّى يُعْطَى أَحَدُهُمْ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَسْخَطُهَا“ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي أَوْ هَامَتِي فَقَالَ ”يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْخِلَافَةَ قَدْ نَزَلَتِ الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ فَقَدْ دَنَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ وَالْبَلَايَا وَالْأُمُورُ الْعِظَامُ وَالسَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ يَدِي هَذِهِ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ“
Ibn Zaghb Iyadi says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hawalah Azdi (may Allah be pleased with him) was at my house, and he narrated this hadith to me: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us on foot to the surroundings of Madinah Munawwarah so that we might bring back spoils of war, but it happened that we could not obtain any spoils. When we returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed the fatigue on our faces. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: O Allah! Do not entrust them to me, for I am too weak to fulfill this responsibility, and do not entrust them to their own selves, for they will become helpless, and do not entrust them to other people, for people will give preference to others over them. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, surely, Sham, Rome, and Persia (Iran) will be conquered, (and so much spoils of war will be gathered that) each one of you will receive many camels, many cows, and other spoils, and even when someone is given a hundred dinars, he will consider it little and express displeasure. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah! When you see that the Caliphate has been established in the Holy Land (i.e., Bayt al-Maqdis), then know that earthquakes, calamities, and great signs of the Hour have drawn near, and at that time the Hour will be even closer to the people, just as my hand is to your head.
Hadith 12851
عَنْ سَيَّارٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جُلُوسًا فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ قَدْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ رَأَيْنَا النَّاسَ رُكُوعًا فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ وَرَكَعْنَا ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا وَصَنَعْنَا مِثْلَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ يُسْرِعُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا وَرَجَعْنَا دَخَلَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ جَلَسْنَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ أَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ رَدَّهُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَبَلَّغَتْ رُسُلُهُ أَيُّكُمْ يَسْأَلُهُ فَقَالَ طَارِقٌ أَنَا أَسْأَلُهُ فَسَأَلَهُ حِينَ خَرَجَ فَذَكَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ تَسْلِيمَ الْخَاصَّةِ وَفُشُوَّ التِّجَارَةِ حَتَّى تُعِينَ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى التِّجَارَةِ وَقَطْعَ الْأَرْحَامِ وَشَهَادَةَ الزُّورِ وَكِتْمَانَ شَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ وَظُهُورَ الْقَلَمِ“
Tariq bin Shihab says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came and said: The iqamah has been pronounced. He stood up and we also stood up. When we entered the mosque, we saw that the people in the front part of the mosque were in the state of bowing (ruku‘). He said "Allahu Akbar" and (before reaching the row) performed ruku‘; we also performed ruku‘, then while in the state of ruku‘ we moved forward (and stood in the row), and we did as he did. A man passed by in haste and said: Abu Abdur Rahman! Peace be upon you. Hearing this, he said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. When we had finished the prayer and returned, he went to his family. We sat down and began to say to each other: Did you hear that he replied to that man by saying: Allah has spoken the truth and His Messengers have conveyed (His message)? Who among you will ask him about what he did? Tariq said: I will ask. When he came out, he asked him. In reply, he said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Before the Day of Judgment, greetings of peace will be given only to specific people, and trade will become widespread, to the extent that a wife will help her husband in business matters; also, ties of kinship will be severed, false testimony will be given, true testimony will be concealed, and writing and reading (will also become widespread).
Hadith 12852
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَحْطَانَ يَسُوقُ النَّاسَ بِعَصَاهُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Hour will not be established until a man from the descendants of Qahtan appears who will drive the people with his staff.
Hadith 12853
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا يَذْهَبُ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي يُقَالُ لَهُ جَهْجَاهُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: These days and nights will not come to an end until a slave named Jahjah rules over the people.
Hadith 12854
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ حَدِيثًا جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ سَمِعَ فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”إِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الْأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ“ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا إِضَاعَتُهَا قَالَ ”إِذَا تَوَسَّدَ الْأَمْرُ غَيْرَ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting in a gathering and speaking with the people, when a Bedouin came and asked: O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) come? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, continued his conversation. Some people said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, heard what he said, but disliked his question, and some said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not hear what he said. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his conversation, he asked: Where is the one who inquired about the Hour? He replied: I am here, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When trusts are lost, then await the Hour. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by losing the trusts? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When matters are entrusted to those who are unqualified, then await the Hour.
