- " يبايع لرجل بين الركن والمقام، ولن يستحل البيت إلا أهله، فإذا استحلوه فلا تسأل عن هلكة العرب، ثم تأتي الحبشة فيخربونه خرابا لا يعمر بعده أبدا، وهم الذين يستخرجون كنزه ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will be given allegiance between the Black Stone and the Station of Ibrahim. The people who violate the sanctities of the House of Allah will be its own people. When they do this, then the destruction and ruin of the Arabs will be beyond description. Then the Abyssinians will destroy the Ka'bah and after that it will not be inhabited; these people will take out its treasures."
