Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40312 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the night when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey, he met Ibrahim, Musa and Isa (peace be upon them). They discussed the Hour among themselves. They began with Ibrahim and asked him about the Hour, and he had no knowledge about it. Then they asked Musa, and he too had no knowledge about it. Then they returned the matter to Isa. He said: Allah Almighty has told me of the things close to its occurrence; as for its actual occurrence, no one knows that except Allah Almighty. He mentioned the emergence of the Dajjal: Then I will descend and kill him. Then the people will return to their lands, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj will come before them, rushing down from every elevation. They will not pass by any water without drinking it up, nor by anything without spoiling it. They (the other people) will flee to me, and I will supplicate to Allah Almighty, and Allah Almighty will cause them to die. The earth will become putrid from their stench. Then they (the other people) will come to me, and I will supplicate to Allah Almighty, and Allah Almighty will send rain upon them from the sky, which will carry their bodies and throw them into the sea. Then the mountains will be uprooted and the earth will be stretched out like leather. Then I was charged with the knowledge that when that happens, the Hour will be as close to the people as a pregnant woman who has completed the term of her pregnancy, and whose family do not know when she will suddenly give birth.
