Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "(Soon) knowledge will be taken away, ignorance and tribulations will prevail, and 'harj' will increase greatly." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is 'harj'?" So he (peace be upon him) gestured with his hand sideways and said: "Like this!" It seemed that by 'harj' he (peace be upon him) meant killing.

Lady Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I came to Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) and she was praying, so I asked her, "What is the matter with the people (why are they so anxious)?" She pointed towards the sky (to show that there was an eclipse of the sun). Then, meanwhile, all the people stood up (for the eclipse prayer), so Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Subhan Allah." I asked, "(Is this eclipse) a sign?" She nodded her head in affirmation. Then I also stood up (for the prayer), until I fainted and began to pour water over my head. Then (when the prayer was over and the eclipse had passed), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praised and glorified Allah and said: "That which had not been shown to me before, I saw (at that time) while standing in my place. Even Paradise and Hell. And it was revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves—a trial similar to or close to the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal)." (Fatimah, the narrator of the hadith, says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used.) It will be said, "What do you know about this man?" If he is a believer or certain (Fatimah says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used), he will say, "He is Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Messenger of Allah. He came to us with miracles and guidance, so we accepted his word and followed him, and he is Muhammad (peace be upon him)." (He will say this) three times. Then it will be said to him, "Sleep in peace. Indeed, we have known that you believed in Muhammad (peace be upon him)." But the hypocrite or the doubter (Fatimah says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used) will say, "I do not know (the reality), but I heard people saying something about him, so I said the same."
