The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) foretelling the unseen

Muhammad bin Ja'far bin al-Zubayr narrates: Umayr bin Wahb al-Jumahi and Safwan bin Umayyah were sitting in the Hatim, shortly after the loss Quraysh suffered at Badr. Umayr bin Wahb was one of the devils of Quraysh; he was among those who used to harm the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, and when they were in Makkah those noble ones faced great hardship from this man. Umayr's son, Wahb bin Umayr, was among the prisoners of Badr. The narrator says: They mentioned the polytheists who had died at Badr, and then (Safwan) said: By Allah! There is no good in life after them. Umayr bin Wahb said: You speak the truth. By Allah! Were it not for a debt upon me which I have no means of paying, and were I not anxious about the expenses of my family, I would ride to (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and kill him. I also have a pretext concerning those people, namely that my son is a prisoner with them. The narrator says: Safwan bin Umayyah seized upon this matter as an opportunity and said: Paying your debt is my responsibility; I will pay it on your behalf. And your family will stay with my family; I will treat them equally as long as they remain, and we will show no inability towards them. Umayr said: Then you must keep my affair and yours secret. He said: Very well. Then Umayr gave orders concerning his sword; its edge was sharpened and it was dipped in poison. Then he set out for Madinah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Madinah among some Muslims; they were talking about the Battle of Badr, how Allah Almighty had honoured them and how their enemy had faced defeat. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw Umayr bin Wahb tying his mount at the door of the mosque, with a sword hanging from his neck. He said: This dog, by Allah, Umayr bin Wahb! He has surely come with nothing but evil intent. This is the very man who tried to stir up trouble among us and who counted our numbers for the enemy on the day of the Battle of Badr. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Here is Umayr bin Wahb; he has come with a sword hanging on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him in!" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went, took hold of the sword at Umayr's neck, and brought him in seizing him by the neck. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to some men of the Ansar who were with him: Go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sit with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and guard against this dog attacking him (peace and blessings be upon him), for he is a danger. Then he brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) holding the strap of his sword. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! Let him go! O Umayr! Come forward!" He came near and said: "An'imu sabahan" (May you have a pleasant morning); this was the particular way of greeting one another in the days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has honoured us with a better way of greeting than your greeting, O Umayr! Saying 'As-salamu alaykum' is the greeting of the people of Paradise." He said: By Allah! O (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I have only ever been familiar with this (greeting). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What have you come for?" He said: I have come concerning that prisoner who is with you people. The narrator says: I think the narration contains these words: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the reason for this sword on your neck?" He said: May Allah Almighty ruin these swords; have they been of any use to us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me the truth: what have you come for?" He said: I have come only for this purpose. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, you and Safwan bin Umayyah were sitting in the 'Hatim', and the two of you were talking about the men of Quraysh who were killed at Badr, and you said: Were it not for a debt upon me and were I not concerned about my children, I would go out and kill (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So Safwan took upon himself your debt and the expenses of your children, on the condition that you kill me; but Allah Almighty stands as a barrier between you and that." Umayr said: I bear witness that you are truly the Messenger of Allah. O Messenger of Allah! Previously we used to deny you regarding the news of the heavens which you brought to us, and we also denied the revelation that was sent down to you. But in this matter, only Safwan and I were present. By Allah! I have come to know that none but Allah Almighty could have told you about it. So all praise belongs to Allah Almighty, who guided me to Islam and brought me to this point. Then he bore the testimony of truth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Teach your brother his religion! Teach him to read the Qur'an, and release his prisoner for him!" Then Umayr said: O Messenger of Allah! Previously I used to strive hard to extinguish the light of Allah, and I used to cause severe hardship to those who followed the religion of Allah. Now I wish that you give me permission: I will go to Makkah and invite those people to Allah and to Islam. Perhaps Allah Almighty will guide them; otherwise I will harm them just as I used to harm your (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions on account of their religion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, and he went to Makkah. When Umayr bin Wahb had set out from Makkah, Safwan had said to Quraysh: Receive glad tidings of news that will soon come to you, and that news will make you forget the loss of Badr. Safwan kept asking riders about Umayr bin Wahb, until a rider came and told Safwan that Umayr had accepted Islam. Safwan then swore an oath that he would never speak to him and would never bring him any benefit. When Umayr came to Makkah, he stayed there and began inviting people to Islam, and he would cause harm to whoever opposed him. Then many people accepted Islam at Umayr's hand.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it as a "mursal" report, and its chain is jayyid (good).

A similar report is recorded from Urwah bin al-Zubayr as a "mursal" hadith, in which these words occur: "The Muslims rejoiced when Allah Almighty granted him guidance, and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When he came, a pig was dearer to me than him, and now he is dearer to me than my own children." The chain of this report is hasan (good).

Abu Imran al-Jawni narrates (the narrator says: I think he narrated it from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him)): Wahb bin Umayr took part in the Battle of Uhud as a disbeliever. He was wounded and lay among the slain. A man from the Ansar passed by him and recognised him; he placed his sword on his belly and it went through and came out of his back, then he left him to his fate. When night came and the cold struck him, he fled from there to Makkah and later recovered. Once he and Safwan bin Umayyah were sitting in the "Hatim", and he said to Safwan bin Umayyah: Were it not for the problem of my children and the problem of the debt binding upon me, I would have wished to be the one who would personally kill (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Safwan said: How would you have done it? He said: I am a horseman who cannot be overtaken. I would go to him and strike him with the sword by deception, then I would go off to the mountain, and no one could reach me. Safwan said: Then your children and your debt are my responsibility. Wahb bin Umayr went out from there, prepared his sword, dipped it in poison and then set out for Madinah, intending to kill Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came to Madinah, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him; he became worried about him and this weighed heavily on him. He said to the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): I have seen that Wahb has come, and his coming makes me suspicious; he is a treacherous man, so form a ring around your Prophet. The Muslims formed a ring around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When Wahb came, he came and stood by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! May you have blessings in the morning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has given us a better greeting in its place." He said: The last time I met you, you used to greet just as I do, and you would be pleased with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Why have you come?" He said: I have come to pay the ransom for your prisoners. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is this sword for?" He said: We carried these swords on the day of the Battle of Badr as well, but we neither succeeded nor attained success. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what was the thing you said to Safwan when the two of you were in the 'Hatim': Were it not for the matter of my children and my debt, I would personally kill (Sayyiduna) Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him the whole matter, and Wahb said: What! How is it that you are relating this? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the matter to him, and he said: Previously you used to give us news of the people of the earth and we would deny what you said, and now my view of you is that you are giving news of the people of the heavens. So I bear witness that there is no god but Allah Almighty, and that you are the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: O Messenger of Allah! Give me your turban. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him his turban, and then he went back to Makkah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When he came, he was more hateful to me than a pig, and when he went back he was dearer to me than my own children.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the "Sahih".

Aban bin Salman narrates from his father Salman: The account of how Sayyiduna Qubath bin Ashyam al-Laythi (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam is that some men, Arabs and people from other lands, came to him and said: Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Abd al-Muttalib (peace and blessings be upon him) has come out and is calling to a religion other than our religion. So Qubath got up and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Qubath! Sit down!" He remained silent in a state of anger. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Are you the one who said: If all the women of Quraysh came out, they would drive back Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions?" Qubath said: By the One who sent you with the truth! My tongue did not move with this, my lips did not utter these words, and no one heard it from me; it was only something that I thought in my heart. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah Almighty, He alone is God, and I bear witness that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, and that what you have brought is the truth.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains narrators whom I do not know. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The account of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) has already passed in the chapter on the Battle of Badr, and the account of Dhu al-Jawshan has passed in the chapter on "the Battle of the Conquest". Besides this there is the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), who was in the caravan of Sayyidah Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her); it has passed in the chapter on the wonders of creation. The hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) will come in the chapter on his virtues, and other reports will also come.

Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty raised up the world before me, and I looked at it, and I also saw all that will happen in it until the Day of Resurrection, just as if I were looking at my own palm. This is a manifestation which Allah Almighty manifested for His Prophet, just as He manifested it for the Prophets before him."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, although there is great weakness in Sa'id bin Sinan al-Rahawi.

Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent (as a Prophet), Chosroes sent a message to his appointed governor over Yemen and the neighbouring Arab lands - the name of that governor was "Badham" - saying: I have received word that a man has appeared in your region who claims that he is a Prophet. Tell him either to desist from this, or else I will send to him men who will kill him and his people. The narrator says: The messenger of "Badham" came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had this been something that I was doing of my own accord, I would have desisted from it; but Allah Almighty has sent me." That messenger stayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for some time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "My Lord has had Chosroes killed, and after today there will be no Chosroes; and He has had Caesar killed, and after today there will be no Caesar." The narrator says: He noted down the hour in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this, noted down the day on which he said it, and noted down the month in which he said it. He went back to Badham, and (found that) Chosroes had died and Caesar had been killed.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the "Sahih", except for Kathir bin Ziyad, and he is thiqah (trustworthy). Imam Ahmad recorded a part of it, and Imam al-Bazzar likewise.

Sayyiduna Khuraym bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "This is white al-Hirah, raised up before me, and this is al-Shayma' bint Buqaylah al-Azdiyyah, riding a white mule, with a black wrap bound around her head." The narrator says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! If we enter al-Hirah and I find this woman in this state, will she be mine? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She will be yours." The narrator says: Then the Arabs apostatised, but no one from the tribe of Tayy' apostatised. We fought Qays on the basis of Islam, among them Utbah bin Hisn, and we fought Tulayhah bin Khuwaylid al-Faq'asi. Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) praised us for this, and among what he said about us are these words: "May Allah Almighty grant the tribe of Tayy' the best reward on our behalf, who fought fiercely in their own land on the battlefield of warriors. They were the bearers of the banners of kindness and generosity, whenever the strong wind overturned every tent. They struck the people of the tribe of Qays for the sake of religion, after those people (of Qays) had accepted the call of those inviting to darkness and blindness." Then Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) set out against Musaylimah, and we set out with him. When we had finished with Musaylimah and his companions, we came towards the region of Basrah, and there at the place of Kazimah we encountered Hurmuz with a large host. There was no greater enemy of the Arabs than Hurmuz. Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) came out before him and challenged him to single combat. Hurmuz came out against him, and Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) killed him. He wrote to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave Hurmuz's belongings to Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) as a reward. The value of Hurmuz's cap was one hundred thousand dirhams; it was the custom of the Persians that when someone became a chief among them, they would make him a cap worth one hundred thousand dirhams. Then we travelled along a road until we reached al-Hirah. The first to come before us there was a woman named al-Shayma' bint Buqaylah, riding her white mule and wearing a black wrap, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had described. I said about this woman: The Messenger of Allah gave this woman to me as a gift. Sayyiduna Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me for proof of this; I presented the proof to him, and he handed that woman over to me. That woman's brother, Abd al-Masih, came to us and said to me: Sell her to me. I said: By Allah! I will not take anything less than one thousand. He gave me one thousand. It was said to me: Had you asked for one hundred thousand, he would have given you that as well. I said: I did not know that there was any wealth more than one thousand. In a report other than this one it is related that the two witnesses were Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it.

Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: All the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stay with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for one whole day in the year. On one such day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one of you with the longest hand will be the first to come and join me." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We began measuring our hands, and the hand of Sayyidah Sawdah bint Zam'ah (may Allah be pleased with her) was the longest. But when Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) (the text has it this way; however, the word is: Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her)) passed away, we came to know that her hand was the longest in doing good and giving charity (and this was what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) used to spin thread and give its proceeds to the military expeditions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); she would sew clothes and provide help for the expeditions through it. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: On that day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "What will be the state of one of you when the dogs of 'al-Haw'ab' bark at her?" (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A part of this report is mentioned in the "Sahih".
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, though there is weakness in some of its narrators.

Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took me as his bride, he said: "O Umm Salamah! I had sent musk and a robe (hullah) as a gift to the Negus (al-Najashi), but I think he has died, and as for the gift I sent, I think it will come back to me." Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Then it happened just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave one uqiyah each to his other wives, and gave me all the rest of the musk and the robe.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it. I do not know the mother of Musa bin Uqbah. One narrator is Muslim bin Khalid al-Zanji, whom Yahya bin Ma'in and others declared thiqah (trustworthy); the remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the "Sahih". (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The report narrated by Umm Kulthum about this incident has already passed in the chapter on giving gifts, in the Book of Sales; it is recorded from the "Musnad" of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and from other sources.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Chosroes will perish, and after him there will be no Chosroes, for he used to say: I am the 'King of Kings'. Caesar will perish, and after him there will be no Caesar, for he says: I am the 'King of Kings'."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the "Sahih".

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Chosroes perishes, there will be no Chosroes after him; and when Caesar perishes, there will be no Caesar after him. By the One in whose hand is my soul, the treasures of both of them will surely be spent in the path of Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat from his teacher Ubayd bin Kathir al-Tammar, and he is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us while a cloud was overshadowing us, and we were hoping for something from it (that it would bring rain). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The angel who is driving it, (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) who is driving this cloud, came to me, greeted me with salam, and informed me that he is driving it to such-and-such a valley."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Great humility and devotion were found in al-Rahhal bin Ghanmuwayh (a certain man); he recited the Noble Qur'an regularly and did good deeds regularly. One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us while al-Rahhal was also sitting with us along with some other people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of these people will go to Hell." Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I looked over those people, and among them were Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abu Arwa al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr al-Dawsi (may Allah be pleased with him), and al-Rahhal bin Ghanmuwayh. I kept looking at them and wondering, and I thought: Who could that wretched one be? When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Banu Hanifah apostatised. I asked: What became of al-Rahhal bin Ghanmuwayh? The people told me that he had fallen into trial, in that he testified in favour of Musaylimah against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed him to share in the authority after him. I said: What the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said is the truth. (The narrator says:) He heard al-Rahhal saying: "Two rams are locking horns, and the dearer of the two to us is our own ram."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and in this narration he gave this man's name as "Rahhal"; al-Waqidi and al-Mada'ini also stated it this way, and Abd al-Ghani bin Sa'id followed the two of them, but he was mistaken about this. Most people said that his name is with the letter "J" (Rajjal); Imam al-Daraqutni (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibn Makula stated this. The chain of this narration contains al-Waqidi, and he is da'if (weak).

Aws bin Khalid narrates: Whenever I came to Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him), he would ask me about a certain man, and whenever I went to that man, he would ask me about Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him). I said to Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him): When I come to you, you ask me about so-and-so, and when I go to so-and-so, he asks me about you. Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that once he, Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and a certain man were in a house, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you dies last will go to Hell." The narrator says: First Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, then Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, and then that man passed away.
Al-Tabarani recorded it. No one besides Ali bin Zayd narrated from the narrator Aws bin Khalid, and both of these narrators have been criticised; the remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.

Abu Yunus narrates: I was a trader in Madinah. When I came to Madinah, Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me about Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundab (may Allah be pleased with him), and when I came to Basrah, Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me about Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were seven people in a house, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came in to us and said: "The last of you to die will go to the Fire." (Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) Now, of those people, only I and Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) remain. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Perhaps what was meant was the fire of this world, for Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) died because of fire.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Ali bin Zayd bin Jud'an, who has been declared trustworthy, but there is weakness in him; the remaining narrators of this narration are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Soon a woman will set out from Madinah and enter al-Hirah, and during that time she will fear no one except Allah Almighty."
Al-Tabarani and al-Bazzar recorded it. Al-Bazzar's narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Ahmad bin Yahya al-Awdi, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).

According to the account of some of the narrators, Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon the world will be opened up for you, until you will cover your houses with drapes just as the Ka'bah is covered with its drape." We said: Will we be upon this religion of ours? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes!" We said: Will we at that time be better than we are today? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, today you are better than you will be at that time."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There will be a man in my Ummah who will speak after death." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Before this, the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) has already passed, which concerns the caliphate of the four Caliphs and concerns the man who spoke after death.
