Chapter. The signs of Prophethood in Islam.
Sahih Bukhari 3595 — The signs of Prophethood in Islam
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعْدٌ الطَّائِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْفَاقَةَ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ آخَرُ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ قَطْعَ السَّبِيلِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عَدِيُّ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْحِيرَةَ ، قُلْتُ : لَمْ أَرَهَا وَقَدْ أُنْبِئْتُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَيَنَّ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْتَحِلُ مِنْ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ لَا تَخَافُ أَحَدًا إِلَّا اللَّهَ ، قُلْتُ : فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِي فَأَيْنَ دُعَّارُ طَيِّئٍ الَّذِينَ قَدْ سَعَّرُوا الْبِلَادَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتُفْتَحَنَّ كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى ، قُلْتُ : كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ ، قَالَ : كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَيَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُخْرِجُ مِلْءَ كَفِّهِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ يَطْلُبُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهُ مِنْهُ ، فَلَا يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهُ مِنْهُ وَلَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَاهُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ يُتَرْجِمُ لَهُ ، فَلَيَقُولَنَّ لَهُ أَلَمْ أَبْعَثْ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولًا فَيُبَلِّغَكَ ، فَيَقُولُ : بَلَى ، فَيَقُولُ : أَلَمْ أُعْطِكَ مَالًا وَأُفْضِلْ عَلَيْكَ ، فَيَقُولُ : بَلَى فَيَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا جَهَنَّمَ وَيَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَا يَرَى إِلَّا جَهَنَّمَ ، قَالَ : عَدِيٌّ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقَّةِ تَمْرَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ شِقَّةَ تَمْرَةٍ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ ، قَالَ : عَدِيٌّ فَرَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْتَحِلُ مِنْ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ لَا تَخَافُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنِ افْتَتَحَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكُمْ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَوُنَّ مَا ، قَالَ : النَّبِيُّ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُخْرِجُ مِلْءَ كَفِّهِ " ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُجَاهِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ، سَمِعْتُ عَدِيًّا كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: While I was with the Prophet, a man came and complained to him of destitution, and then another man came and complained of robbery on the roads. The Prophet said, "O `Adi! Have you seen Al-Hira?" I said, "I have not seen it, but I have been told about it." He said, "If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see a lady in a howdah travelling from Al-Hira till she performs the Tawaf around the Ka`ba, fearing none but Allah." I said to myself, "Where will the robbers of the tribe of Tai be, who have spread evil through the land?" He said, "If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau will be opened (i.e. conquered)." I said, "Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?" He said, "Khosrau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see a man bringing out a handful of gold or silver, looking for someone to accept it from him, but he will not find anyone to accept it from him. And any of you will meet Allah on the Day he meets Him with no interpreter between him and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: 'Did I not send to you a messenger who conveyed (My Message) to you?' He will say: 'Yes.' Allah will say: 'Did I not give you wealth and bestow favours upon you?' He will say: 'Yes.' Then he will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing but Hell." `Adi added: I heard the Prophet saying, "Protect yourselves from the Fire even with half a date (given in charity), and whoever does not find half a date, then with a good word." `Adi added: I have seen a lady in a howdah travelling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba, fearing none but Allah, and I was one of those who conquered the treasures of Khosrau, son of Hurmuz. And if you should live long, you will see what the Prophet Abu-l-Qasim said: "A man will bring out a handful (of gold or silver)." (The same was narrated by Muhill bin Khalifa through another chain: I heard `Adi saying: I was with the Prophet.)

Hadith Commentary:
The prophecy regarding the abundance of wealth during the era of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz rahimahullah was also fulfilled, as Allah made the Muslims so prosperous that there was no one left to accept zakat (obligatory charity).
Hafiz rahimahullah said that Hira was the capital of those Arab kings who were under the authority of Iran.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Kisra was the title of the king of Persia. His name was repeated a second time because in the heart of Adi radi Allahu anhu, the greatness of the king of Persia was immense; conquering such a superpower was not an easy task. Perhaps he thought another Kisra was intended, so he asked again for clarification. Thus, this prophecy of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was fulfilled during the caliphate of Umar radi Allahu anhu.
Adi bin Hatim radi Allahu anhu was among those armies that conquered Persia at that time and destroyed the fire temple that had been burning for a thousand years.
➋
This was knowledge of the unseen, which is among the signs of prophethood.
➌
Similarly, during the caliphate of Umar bin Abdul Aziz rahimahullah, there was an abundance of wealth and riches; Allah Almighty blessed the Muslims with so much wealth that there was no one left to accept zakat.
➍
It should be noted that the city of Hira was near Kufa and was the capital of those Arab kings who were subordinate to Persia.
➎
At the end, in order to establish the hearing (sama‘) of this hadith from Adi bin Hatim radi Allahu anhu by Mahal bin Khalifah, the second chain of narration for this hadith has been mentioned.
