Hadith 4059

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ , حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَلْمَانُ , عَنْ سَيَّارٍ , عَنْ طَارِقٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ , مَسْخٌ وَخَسْفٌ وَقَذْفٌ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Just before the Hour comes there will be transformations, the earth collapsing, and Qadhf. (i.e. the throwing of stones perhaps as a means of punishment – maybe it refers to landslides).”

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
In previous communities, incidents of transformation of forms occurred, such as those who hunted fish on the Sabbath were turned into monkeys: see (Surah Al-A'raf, verses 163 to 166). Near the Day of Judgment, such incidents will also occur in this Ummah.

(2)
Stones were rained down upon the wicked people of Prophet Lut (alayhis salam); see: (Surah Hud, verse 82). And Qarun was swallowed up by the earth; see: (Surah Al-Qasas: 18). Near the Day of Judgment, criminals will also receive such punishments.
