وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : " أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ ، فَمَا مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ ، إِلَّا أَنِّي لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ مَا يُخْرِجُ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ " ،
Hudhaifa reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) informed me of what is going to happen before the approach of the Last Hour. And there is nothing that I did not ask him in this connection except this that I did not ask him as to what would turn the people of Madinah out from Madinah.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that a time will come when the people of Madinah will be compelled to leave Madinah. However, what will be the reason for this, Hazrat Hudhayfah radi Allahu anhu was not able to ask the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In one narration, Hudhayfah radi Allahu anhu said:
By Allah! I do not know whether my companions have truly forgotten or are only pretending to have forgotten.
By Allah! The leaders of the tribulations (fitan) that will come until the end of the world, each of whom will have three hundred or more followers—Allah’s Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not leave any of them out; he informed (us) of their names along with their fathers’ names and even the names of their tribes.
(Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Fitan wal-Malahim, Hadith: 4243)
In another narration, it is mentioned that whenever any of those events occur, I remember all of them, just as a person remembers someone’s face after he has left, and then after a long time, when he sees him, he recognizes him.
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Fitan, Hadith: 7263 (2891))

(2)
These are the tribulations (fitan) that Allah, the Exalted, has decreed, and they will certainly occur as the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has indicated. Thus, Hudhayfah radi Allahu anhu used to say:
“By Allah! I know all the tribulations that are to occur between me and the Day of Resurrection. This is because the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam specifically informed me about them in confidence; he did not inform anyone else besides me.”
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Fitan, Hadith: 7262 (2891))
