Hadith 2208

حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَقِيءُ الْأَرْضُ أَفْلَاذَ كَبِدِهَا أَمْثَالَ الْأُسْطُوَانِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَيَجِيءُ السَّارِقُ ، فَيَقُولُ : فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا قُطِعَتْ يَدِي ، وَيَجِيءُ الْقَاتِلُ ، فَيَقُولُ : فِي هَذَا قَتَلْتُ ، وَيَجِيءُ الْقَاطِعُ ، فَيَقُولُ : فِي هَذَا قَطَعْتُ رَحِمِي ، ثُمَّ يَدَعُونَهُ فَلَا يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:` " The earth will throw out pieces of its liver(in sides): liver; gold and silver will come out like columns." He said: "A thief will come and say: 'For this my hands were amputated?' A murderer will come and say: 'For this I killed?' One who severed ties of kinship will come and say: 'For this I severed the ties of kinship?' Then they will leave it without taking anything from it."'

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The state of Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was such that he had so much fear and dread of the punishment of the grave that, upon seeing it, he would weep uncontrollably, despite the fact that he was among the ten who were given glad tidings of Paradise (asharah mubasharah). Yet our condition is that we have forgotten this punishment, even though it is the very first stage among the stages of the Hereafter. May Allah, Lord of all the worlds, protect us all from the punishment of the grave. Ameen.

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
All these ahadith pertain to the final era of al-Mahdi (alayhis salam) and ‘Isa (alayhis salam), when the time of the Hour (Qiyamah) will draw near. As a result of wars, men will be killed and women will remain.
The earth will bring forth its treasures, the greed for wealth and riches will disappear from people’s hearts, and concern for the Hereafter will increase. Although a glimpse of this was seen during the era of ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz rahimahullah, the true manifestation will occur in the final era,
when the full manifestation of the earth’s blessings will take place.
