Mukhtasar Muslim

Abu Idris Khawlani says that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, I know every tribulation that will occur between me and the Day of Resurrection more than anyone else. And it is not that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told me something secretly that he did not tell others, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the tribulations in a gathering in which I was also present. So, while counting those tribulations, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Three of them are such that they will leave almost nothing untouched, and some of them are like the hot winds, some are small and some are big. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (Now) all the people of that gathering have passed away except me. I am the only one remaining (and for this reason, now there is no one left who knows more about the tribulations than me).

`Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that` the Messenger of Allah stood among us (to deliver a sermon) and did not leave out anything that was to happen from that time until the Day of Resurrection except that he mentioned it. Then, whoever remembered it, remembered it, and whoever forgot it, forgot it. My companions know it, and sometimes there is a matter which I had forgotten, but when I see it, I remember it, just as a man remembers another man's face in his absence, and then when he sees him, he recognizes him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed me of everything that would happen until the Day of Resurrection, and there was nothing left that I did not ask him about, except that I did not ask what thing would expel the people of Madinah from Madinah.

Sayyiduna Abu Zaid (that is, Amr bin Akhtab) رضي الله عنه says: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم led us in the Fajr prayer and then ascended the pulpit and delivered a sermon to us until the time for Dhuhr came. Then he descended and performed the prayer. Then he ascended the pulpit and delivered a sermon to us until the time for Asr came. Then he descended and performed the prayer. Then he ascended the pulpit and delivered a sermon to us until the sun set. Thus, he informed us of everything that had happened and everything that was going to happen. And the most knowledgeable among us is the one who remembered those things the most.
