What is this hadith that you narrate that the Last Hour would come at such and such time? Thereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, there is no god but Allah (or the words to the same effect). I have decided that I would not narrate anything to anyone now. I had only said that you would see after some time an important event that the (sacred) House (Ka'ba) would be burnt and it would happen and definitely happen. He then reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah and he would stay (in the world) for forty - I cannot say whether he meant forty days, forty months or forty years. And Allah would then send Jesus son of Mary who would resemble 'Urwa b Mas'ud. He (Jesus Christ) would chase him and kill him. Then people would live for seven years that there would be no rancour between two persons. Then Allah would send cold wind from the side of Syria that none would survive upon the earth having a speck of good in him or faith in him but he would die, so much so that even if some amongst you were to enter the innermost part of the mountain, this wind would reach that place also and that would cause his death. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Only the wicked people would survive and they would be as careless as birds with the characteristics of beasts. They would never appreciate the good nor condemn evil. Then Satan would come to them in human form and would say: Don't you respond? And they would say: What do you order us? And he would command them to worship the idols but, in spite of this, they would have abundance of sustenance and lead comfortable lives. Then the trumpet would be blown and no one would hear that but he would bend his neck to one side and raise it from the other side and the first one to hear that trumpet would be the person who would be busy in setting right the tank meant for providing water to the camels. He would swoon and the other people would also swoon, then Allah would send or He would cause to send rain which would be like dew and there would grow out of it the bodies of the people. Then the second trumpet would be blown and they would stand up and begin to look (around). Then it would be said: O people, go to your Lord, and make them stand there. And they would be questioned. Then it would be said: Bring out a group (out of them) for the Hell-Fire. And then it would be asked: How much? It would be said: Nine hundred and ninty-nine out of one thousand for the Hell-Fire and that would be the day which would make the children old because of its terror and that would be the day about which it has been said: "On the day when the shank would be uncovered" (lxviii. 42).

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Makkah for ten years, following the people in their homes in 'Ukaz and Majinah, and during the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will shelter and support me? Who will assist me until I deliver the message of my Lord, and he will be rewarded with Paradise?" So much so that a man would come from Yemen or Egypt, and his people would warn him, saying, "Beware of the young boy from Quraysh who will deceive you." But he would walk among them and they would point at him with their fingers. Until Allah sent someone from Yathrib (Medina) and we offered him shelter and believed in him. The man would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam because of him, to the point that there was not a house in Al-Ansar (the supporters) except there were some Muslims living in it. Then, they all came together and said, "Until when shall we leave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being expelled in the mountains of Makkah and living in fear?" Seventy men of us left until we reached him in the season. We made an appointment with the tribes of Al-'Aqabah, and met him there, a group of men and a group of women. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Why don't we give you our pledge?" He replied, "Give me your pledge based on hearing and obeying, in ease and hardship, in wealth and poverty, and to enjoin good and forbid evil. And that you will say in Allah's cause, fear no blame from anyone, and to help me rather than hinder me when I come to you. If you fulfill this, then it will be better for you before Allah." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Rain on us your guidance." We swear by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge nor take it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he grasped the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was one of the youngest among us, and said, "O people of Yathrib! We have not aimed against and attacked the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And indeed his leaving today means the tribal fragmentation of the entire Arabs and the killing of your best people. And the swords will bite you, whether you are a people who can endure that or a people who fear from yourselves a decline, clarify it, and it will be more excuse for you before Allah." We said, "Remove from us, O As'ad!" By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge nor seize it away. So we gave him our pledge, and he made a condition and gave us Paradise in return.  

مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بعُكَاظٍ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَفِي الْمَوَاسِمِ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي؟ مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَوْ مِنْ مِصْرَ كَذَا قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِجَالِهِمْ وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللهُ لَهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَآوَيْنَاهُ وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ ثُمَّ ائْتَمَرُوا جَمِيعًا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدْنَاهُ شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ علَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ قَالَ تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللهِ لَا تَخَافُونَ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي فَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّاتَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِهِمْ فَقَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنَّ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ جَبِينَةً فَبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرَ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ قَالُوا أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَا أَسْعَدُ فَوَاللهِ لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا وَلَا نَسْلُبُهَا أَبَدًا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا وَشَرَطَ وَيُعْطِينَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent ten years following the pilgrims in their dwellings during the pilgrimage season, at Majannah, at 'Ukaz, and in their dwellings in Mina. He would say, "Who will give me shelter? Who will assist me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and paradise will be theirs?" He did not find anyone who would assist and shelter him. Even when a man would leave Muzdalifah or Yemen and come to their people, they would say, "Beware of the youth from Quraysh, he will lead you astray," while he walked among them and called them to Allah, pointing at them with his fingers. Until Allah sent us to him from Yathrib, a man came to him and believed in him, and he recited the Quran to him, then he returned to his family and they accepted Islam. Soon, there was no house in the dwellings of Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly displayed Islam. Then Allah completed His favor upon us, and we gathered together, seventy men from our community, and we said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we made an appointment with the people of Aqabah. His uncle, Al-Abbas, said to him, "O nephew, I do not know who these people are who have come to you. I am familiar with the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with them, one man and two men. When Al-Abbas saw our faces, he said, 'These are unknown people, they are young.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, why should we swear allegiance to you?' He said, 'Swear allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of both energy and laziness, in easy and difficult times, in promoting what is good and forbidding what is evil, and in defending me if I come to Yathrib, even if it means denying yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we gave him our pledge, and As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy, took his hand and said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, remove your hand from us. We will not abandon this pledge, nor will we revoke it.' So we went to him one by one, and each of us pledged allegiance to him on the terms of al-Abbas, and in return, he bestowed paradise upon us."

Rasūlullāh ﷺ mentioned: "... when Allah ﷻ revealed to ʿĪsá b. Maryam: 'I have already released servants from My servants (Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj) who you will not be able to fight, so take My salves for refuge to ˹mount˺ Ṭūr'. Then Allah ﷻ will send forth Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj, and they, as Allah ﷻ said: '...from every slope they will descend.' (Anbiyāʾ 21:96). Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ, then He will send insects toward their necks, and they will turn into predator-prey (farsā) ˹and die˺ like the death of one person. ThenʿĪsá and his companions will get down ˹from mount Ṭur˺ and they will not find a place to stay on land except that it has been filled with a foul stench of their ˹rotting corpses˺. Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ ˹again˺, then He will send forth birds with necks like thereof Bactrian camels (vultures?), and they will carry their ˹corpses˺ and throw them where Allah ﷻ wills." Ibn Jābir said, then Yazīd b. ʿAṭāʾ al-Saksakī narrated to me, from Kaʿb or other than him who said: "then they threw them in the ditch (abyss)". Ibn Jābir said: then I said, O Abū Zayd, and where is the ditch? He said: "Eastwardly..."

[Machine] "Once, there was a Jewish man who lived in Makkah and engaged in trade there. On the night when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was born, he said in a gathering of Quraysh: 'O people of Quraysh, was a child born among you tonight?' They replied, 'By Allah, we do not know.' He said, 'Allah is the Greatest. If he is born to you, there is no harm. Look and remember what I am saying to you: The Prophet of this last Ummah was born this night. Between his shoulders, there is a sign that looks like parallel lines of hair, as if they are connected. It looks like a mark of a horse that does not suckle for two nights, because a jinn entered his mouth and prevented him from nursing. The people were left astounded by his words and speech. When they returned to their homes, they informed their families, saying, 'Surely Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib has been blessed with a boy, and they named him Muhammad.' The people gathered and said, 'Have you heard the story of the Jew? Has news of the birth of this boy reached you?' They then went to the Jew and informed him of the news. He said, 'Come with me so that I may see him.' They went with him until he entered upon Amina, and he said, 'Bring your child out to us.' She brought him out, and they uncovered his back, and he saw the mark. The Jew then fell unconscious. When he woke up, they said to him, 'What is wrong with you?' He said, 'By Allah, Prophethood has departed from the children of Israel. O people of Quraysh, you rejoice with him. By Allah, people will come from the east and the west, and his message will spread among them. On that day, there were people, including Hisham bin Al-Walid bin Al-Mughira, Musa'ab bin Abi 'Amr, 'Ubaydah bin Al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib, and 'Utba bin Rabiah, among others from the Quraysh, who were above the age of puberty."

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ spent ten years following people in their homes during the season of Manazil, Muzdalifah, and 'Ukaz. He would ask, "Who will shelter me? Who will support me until I convey the messages of my Lord, and for him is Paradise?" Yet, he would find no one to support him or shelter him. And there would be a man who would leave from Egypt or Yemen to bring him back to his people, and they would warn him, "Beware of the young Quraishi boy who will tempt you." He would walk among their tents, calling them to Allah Almighty, and they would point at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent us from Yathrib (Medina), and the man from among us would meet him, believe in him, and teach him the Quran. He would then return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house among the houses of the Ansar without Muslims in it. We sent a message to Allah, and He allowed us to gather and meet. We said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled in the mountains of Makkah and live in fear?" So we set out until we reached him in Muzdalifah during the pilgrimage season. We made an agreement with him at 'Aqabah, and his uncle, al-'Abbas, said to him, "O son of my brother, I do not know who these people who have come to you are. I have knowledge of the people of Yathrib, so we gathered with a man, and when al-'Abbas looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people we do not know. They are young men.' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do we pledge allegiance to you on?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me on hearing and obeying, in times of energy and times of laziness, on spending in times of ease and times of hardship, on commanding good and forbidding evil, and on not blaming us for what we do in the name of Allah. Pledge allegiance to me on supporting me when I come to you, and withholding from what you withhold from yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and Sa'd bin Zurarah, the youngest among the seventy, took his hand and said, 'O people of Yathrib, none of us withholds his hand from this pledge, and we will never quit it.' So we went to him, each man one by one, and he took our pledge to grant us Paradise."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know what the Antichrist (Dajjal) has with him. He has two rivers, one fire that appears as blazing flames to anyone who sees it, and the other is water that appears white. So if any of you can find him, let him close his eyes and drink the water that appears as fire, for it is actually cool water. Beware of the other river, for it is the tribulation. Know that it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, which can be read by those who can read and even those who cannot read. And know that one of his eyes is wiped over which a mark is left, and from that mark he will emerge towards the end of his affair on the outskirts of the Jordan River, near his house. He will awake and everyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day will be in the vicinity of the Jordan River. And know that he will kill one-third of the Muslims, defeat one-third, and leave one-third. The night will befall them, and some of the believers will say to others, 'What are you waiting for to join your brothers for the sake of pleasing your Lord? So whoever has extra food, let him feed his brother. Pray when dawn breaks and hurry in performing the prayer, then face your enemy.' When they stand for prayer, Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend to lead them in prayer. After he finishes, he will say, 'This is how you should relieve yourselves from the enemy of Allah.' Abu Hazim said, 'He will melt like salt melts in water.' Abdullah ibn Amr said, 'He will vanish like salt dissolves in water.' Allah will give victory to the Muslims, and they will kill their enemies until even the rocks and the trees will call, 'O Abdullah, O slave of the Most Merciful, O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' So Allah will expose the Muslims, and they will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya (tax on non-Muslims). While they are in this state, Allah will bring forth Gog and Magog. They will drink from the lake at the beginning, and the last of them will pass by it and say, 'We have defeated our enemies, here is a trace of water.' Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions will follow them until they enter one of the cities in Palestine called Lud. They will say, 'We have defeated those on earth, let us fight those in the sky.' At that moment, Allah will send a disease upon them, opening up boils in their necks, and none of them will remain except that their stench will harm the Muslims. At that point, Jesus, peace be upon him, will call upon Allah, and Allah will send a wind that will throw them into the sea, all of them."

[Machine] From the hadith of Amr al-Hadrami, from the people of Homs, from Abu Umamah al-Bahili, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us one day, and the majority of his sermon was about mentioning the Dajjal. He informed us about him in detail until he finished his sermon. Then, on that day, he said: "Indeed, Allah the Exalted has not sent a prophet except that he warned his nation about the Dajjal. And I am the last of the prophets, and you are the last of the nations. Surely, he is among you, there is no doubt. If he appears while I am among you, then I am the guardian of every Muslim. And if he appears among you after me, then every individual is the guardian of themselves. And Allah is my Khalifah (Caliph) over every Muslim. He will emerge from the land situated between Iraq and Sham (Greater Syria), and will roam through the east and west. O servants of Allah, be steadfast. He will start by claiming to be a prophet, even though there is no prophet after me. Then, he will claim to be your Lord, even though you have not seen your Lord until you die. And it is written between his eyes that he is a disbeliever, and every believer will be able to read it. So, whoever among you meets him should recite the opening verses of Surat Al-Kahf (Chapter of the Cave) against him. He will have control over one soul from the descendants of Adam, and he will kill it and then bring it back to life. And he will not have control over another soul besides that. He will bring with him Paradise and Hell as part of his fitnah (trial), but his Paradise will be Hell, and his Hell will be Paradise. So, whoever is afflicted with his Hellfire, let him close his eyes and seek refuge with Allah, for it will become cool and peaceful for him, just as fire was cool and peaceful for Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him. And whoever meets him while believing in him and affirming his truthfulness, then let him seek rain from him. For Allah will cause the sky to rain upon them from their own day, and the Earth will bring forth for them from its own day, and their livestock will return to them fully satisfied from their own day. It will be their greatest and fattest day. But whoever meets him while disbelieving in him and rejecting him, then let him seek dryness from him. For he will not have a single drop of rain to give, and he will curse them, so that they will not have a rider or a passenger, and his days will be forty days. One of his days will be like a year, one day will be like a month, one day will be like a week, and the rest of his days will be like ordinary days." Then he (the Prophet, ﷺ) said, "A man will be at the door of Al-Madinah, and he will reach the other end of the city before evening comes." They asked, "How should we pray, O Messenger of Allah, in those short days?" He said, "Estimate the time (according to the length of the day) and then pray as you would in the longer days."

[Machine] We went to a funeral in the Bab Dimashq area, and with us was Abu Umamah al-Bahili. When he prayed upon the deceased and they began burying him, Abu Umamah said, "O people, you have entered a house in which you share in good deeds and bad deeds, and soon you will leave it for another abode. This indicates the grave, the house of solitude, darkness, worms, and narrowness, except for what Allah expands. Then you will move from it to the stations of the Day of Resurrection. You will be in some of these stations until a matter from the matters of Allah covers the people. Faces will turn bright and faces will turn dark, and then you will move to another house where intense darkness covers the people. Then the light will be divided, and the believer will receive light while the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not receive anything. This is a similitude that Allah, the Most High, has given in His Book, "Or like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand, he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light." [Quran 24:40] And the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not be illuminated by the light of the believer, just as the blind person is not illuminated by the sight of the one who can see. The hypocrite says to those who believe, "Look at us and provide for us some of your light." But it is said to them, "Go back and seek light." And a wall is put up between them, with a door within it. Inside it is mercy, and outside of it is torment. They call to them, "Were we not with you?" They reply, "Yes, but you deceived yourselves and delayed, and you were deceived by false hopes until the decree of Allah came. And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah." [Quran 4:142] So they return to the place where the light was divided and they find nothing. They turn back to them, and there is a barrier between them. It has a door, inside of which is mercy, and from its front is punishment. They call out to them, "Weren't we with you? We used to pray with you and fight in battles alongside you." They reply, "Yes, but you caused confusion, you waited and hesitated, and false hopes deceived you, until the command of Allah came and you were deceived by Allah." [Quran 57:14] Then it recites, "And how terrible that result is!" [Quran 57:15]

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stayed for ten years, tracing people in their homes during the season, in Muhjanah, 'Ukaz, and in their homes in Mina. He would say, 'Who will shelter me and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord, and Paradise will be his?' But he ﷺ did not find anyone to support or shelter him until a man would leave Egypt or Yemen and his people would come to him and say, 'Beware of the Quraysh boy who walks among their caravans, inviting them to Allah.' They would point him out until Allah sent to him someone from Yathrib (Madina). The man would come to him, believe in him, and recite the Qur'an to him. Then he would return to his people, and they would embrace Islam until there was not a single house in Yathrib without a group of Muslims openly practicing Islam. They (the Muslims) consulted with each other and said, 'How long will the Messenger of Allah ﷺ be expelled and in fear in the mountains of Makkah?' So we set off until we reached him during the season. The people of 'Aqabah promised him and 'Abbas, his uncle, addressed the people of Yathrib, saying, 'O people of Yathrib, we gathered with him by a man and two men. When he looked at our faces, he said, 'These are people I don't know, they are young people.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you want us to pledge allegiance to you upon?' He said, 'Pledge allegiance to me upon hearing and obeying, in times of ease and difficulty, in matters of expenditure and hardship, and in commanding good and forbidding evil. And that you do not reproach me about Allah if you are not pleased with something, and that you support me when I come to you, denying me what you deny yourselves, your wives, and your children. Paradise will be yours.' So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, who was the youngest of the seventy except me. He said, 'O people of Yathrib, we never struck the liver of any animal except that we knew he was the Messenger of Allah, and his expulsion today is the separation of all the Arab tribes, and the killing of your best men. If you wish, you bear this burden and the reward will be with Allah, and if you fear for your own selves, leave him alone, for he is the most deserving to be excused before Allah.' They said, 'O As'ad, remove your hand from us. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor break it.' So a man stood up and took the hand of 'Abbas, and guaranteed its fulfillment with Paradise.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَبِثَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتَتَبَّعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ وَمَجَنَّةَ وَعُكَاظٍ وَفِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِمِنًى يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي وَيَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ؟ » فَلَا يَجِدُ ﷺ أَحَدًا يَنْصُرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْوِيهِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ مِصْرَ أَوْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ إِلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ فَيَأْتِيهِ قَوْمُهُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنْكَ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَيُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الرَّجُلُ فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ يَثْرِبَ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ فَائْتَمَرَنَا وَاجْتَمَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا حَتَّى مَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ؟ فَرَحَلْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدَنَا شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ عَمُّهُ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا * أَهْلِ يَثْرِبَ فَاجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ * فِي وجُوهِنَا قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحْدَاثٌ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «تُبَايعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَقُولُوا فِي اللَّهِ لَا يَأْخُذْكُمْ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَمْنَعُونِي مَا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ فَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَقُمْنَا نُبَايِعُهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَّا أَنَا قَالَ رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْمَطِيِّ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً وَقَتْلَ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ فَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَسَّتْكُمْ وَعَلَى قَتْلِ خِيَارِكُمْ وَمُفَارَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً فَخُذُوهُ وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْتُمْ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خِيفَةً فَذَرُوهُ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالُوا يَا أَسْعَدُ أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَدَكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ رَجُلٌ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا شَرِيطَةَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَضَمِنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ  

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)

[Machine] She heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was among his companions saying, "I warn you against the False Messiah (Antichrist) and I warn you about him as every prophet has warned his people about him. He will appear among you, O Ummah, and I will narrate to you his description in a way that no prophet before me has narrated to his people. He will remain on the earth for forty days, during which the first day will be like a year, the second day like a month, the third day like a week, and the rest of the days like your normal days. He will have one eye and Allah is not one-eyed. Between his eyes will be written the word 'kafir' (disbeliever), and every believer, literate or illiterate, will be able to read it. He will cause the sky to rain even when it is not raining and he will cause the earth to grow vegetation even when it is not fertile. He will say to the Bedouins, 'What do you want from me? Did I not send down rain upon you abundantly? Did I not revive your livestock and provide you with milk?' He will be accompanied by devils in the form of deceased fathers, brothers, and relatives. They will come to one of their loved ones and say, 'Do you not recognize me? Do you not know who I am?' It will be said to them, 'He is your Lord so follow him.' He will live among you for forty years: the first year will be like a month, the second year like a week, the third year like a day, the fourth year like an hour, and the rest of the years will pass quickly. And he will destroy every inhabited land except the two Sacred Mosques (Makkah and Madinah). Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed ablution, and he heard the weeping and sobbing of the people. He returned to them and stood among them and said, 'Rejoice! If the False Messiah appears while I am among you, then Allah, His Messenger, and the believers with suffice you. But if he appears after me, then Allah will be my Successor upon every Muslim.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with the pilgrims in their dwellings for ten years during the seasons of Mijannah, 'Ukaz, and their dwellings in Mina. He asked, "Who will provide refuge and support me until I deliver the messages of my Lord? For him is Paradise." However, he did not find anyone who would provide refuge and support him, until a man from Makkah or Yemen would enter his companion's dwelling, and his people or relatives would warn him, saying, "Beware of this young man from Quraysh, he will harm you. He walks among your bags and invites you to Allah, pointing at him with his finger." Then Allah sent a man from Yathrib who believed in him and recited the Quran to him. He returned to his people and they embraced Islam until there was no house left in Yathrib except that it had a group of Muslims who openly declared their faith. Then Allah sent for him and we met and gathered seventy of us and said, "How long will the Messenger of Allah be driven away in the mountains of Makkah and fear? So we traveled until we reached him during the season. We made an appointment with the people of 'Aqabah and gathered there one man, then two men, until we met him there. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should we pledge allegiance to you?" He replied, "Pledge allegiance to me in hearing and obedience, in times of ease and difficulty, in hardship and ease, in commanding the good and forbidding the evil, and that you will not blame me for the sake of Allah, regardless of what happens. And that you will support me if I come to you in Yathrib and will protect me from that which you protect yourselves, your wives, and your children. And for you is Paradise." So we said, "We pledge allegiance to you." He took the hand of As'ad bin Zurarah, the youngest of the seventy men except me, and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not struck the liver of a camel except that we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah and that his leaving today means the separation of all the Arabs and the killing of your best men. And the swords will bite you. But as for you, you are a people who can bear the biting of swords, the killing of your best men, and the separation of all the Arabs. Take him, and your reward is with Allah. But as for you, you fear for yourselves and hesitate, so leave him. He is the most careful for your sake in the sight of Allah." So they said, "Hold your hand, O As'ad bin Zurarah. By Allah, we will not abandon this pledge nor will we resign from it." So we stood up and approached him, one by one, agreeing to his conditions and receiving the promise of Paradise in return.

"عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِى جَهْلٍ وَشَيْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، فَقَالَ أبو جَهْلٍ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ! إنَّ محمدًا قد شَتَمَ آلهَتكُمْ، وَسَفَّهَ أَحْلَامَكُمْ، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ آبَائِكُمْ يَتَهَافَتُونَ فيِ النارِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ قَتَلَ محمدًا فَلَهُ علىَّ مائةُ نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ وَسوداءَ، وَأَلفُ أُوقيَّةٍ من فِضَّةٍ، فَخَرجتُ مُتَقَلِّدًا السَّيفَ مُتنكِّبًا كِنَانَتى أرِيدُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فمررْتُ عَلَى عجْلٍ يَذبَحُونَهُ، فَقُمْتُ أنظرُ إليهِمْ، فَإِذَا صَائِحٌ يَصيحُ، مِن جَوْفِ العِجل: يا آلَ ذُرَيْحٍ! أمرٌ نَجِيحٌ، رَجُلٌ يصيحُ، بِلسانٍ فَصيحٍ، يدْعُو إِلَى شَهَادَةِ أن لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وأن محمدًا رسُولُ اللهِ، فَعلمتُ أنهُ أرَادَنِي، ثُمَّ مررتُ بغنَمٍ فإِذَا هَاتفٌ يهتِفُ يقولُ:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ذَوُو الأَجْسَامِ ... مَا أَنتمُ وطائِشُ الأَحْلَامِ

وَمُسْنِدُو الحكم إلى الأصنام ... فَكُلُّكُمْ أَرَاهُ كالأنْعامِ

أَمَا تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى أَمَامِى ... من سَاطِعٍ يَجْلُو دُجَى الظَّلَامِ

قَدْ لَاحَ للناظِرِ من تهامِ ... أكْرِمْ به الله من إمامِ

قَدْ جاء بعد الكفرِ بالإِسلام ... والبرِّ والصِّلَاتِ للأرْحامِ

فقلت: والله ما أراه إلا أرادنى، ثم مررتُ بِالضِّمَارِ، فَإِذا هَاتفٌ من جوفِهِ:

تُرِكَ الضِّمَارُ وَكَانَ يُعْبَدُ وحدَهُ ... بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَ النبيِّ محمدِ

إن الذي وَرِثَ النبوةَ والهدى ... بعد ابنِ مريمَ من قريش مُهتدِ

سيقولُ من عَبَدَ الضمارَ ومثلَهُ ... لَيتَ الضِّمارَ ومثلَهُ لم يُعْبَدِ

فَاصْبِرْ أبا حفصٍ فإِنَّكَ آمِنٌ ... يأتيكَ عِزٌّ غيرُ عِزِّ بَنِى عَدِى

لا تَعْجَلَنَّ فأنتَ ناصِرُ دينهُ ... حقًا يَقِينًا بِالِّلسَانِ وباليد

فوالله: لقد علمتُ أنهُ أرادَنِي، فجئتُ حتى دَخلتُ على أُخْتِي فإِذَا خَبابُ بن الأرت عندها وزوجُها، فقال خبابٌ: وَيْحَكَ يا عُمرُ أَسْلِمْ، فَدعوتُ بالماءِ فتوَضَّأتُ، ثمَّ خرجتُ إلى النبي ﷺ فقالَ لِي: قد استُجيبَ ليِ فِيكَ يا عمرُ، أسلم، فأسلمتُ وكنتُ رابعَ أربعينَ رجلًا ممن أسلم، ونزلَتْ {يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ حَسْبُكَ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} ".  

"عَنْ إِياسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: بَعَثَتْ قُرَيْشٌ خَارَجَةَ بْنَ كُرْزٍ يَطْلُبُ لَهُمْ طَليعَةً، فَرَجَع حَامدًا بحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّكَ أَعْرَابِىُّ قَعْقَعُوا لَكَ السِّلَاحَ فَطَارَ فُؤَادُكَ، فَمَا دَرَيْتَ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ وَمَا قُلْتَ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوا عُرْوَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! مَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ تَدْعُو إِلَى ذَاتِ الله، ثُمَّ جِئْتَ قَوْمَكَ بِأَوْبَاشِ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَعْرِفُ وَمَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُ لِتَقْطَعَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ وَتَسْتَحِلَّ حُرَمَهُمْ وَدِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوالَهُمْ؟ ! فَقالَ: إِنِّى لَمْ آت قوْمِى إِلَّا لأَصِلَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ يُبْدِلُهُمْ اللهُ بِدينٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ دِينِهِمْ، وَمعايِشَ خيْرٍ مِنْ مَعَايِشِهِمْ، فَرَجَعَ حَامِدًا بِحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَاشْتَدَّ الْبَلَاءُ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ فِى يَدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنَ الْمُسْلمِينَ، فَدَعا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمَرَ فَقالَ: يَا عُمَرُ! هَلْ أَنْتَ مُبْلِغٌ عَنِّى إِخْوَانَكَ مِنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلمِينَ؟ ! فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِىَّ اللهِ! وَاللهِ مَالِىَ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةٍ غَيْرِى أَكْثَرُ عَشِيرةً مِنِّى، فَدعا عُثْمَانَ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَخَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ عَسْكَرَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَعَتِبُوا بِهِ وَأَساءوا لَهُ الْقَوْلَ، ثُمَّ أَجَارَهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعاصِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ، وَحَمَلَهُ السَّرْج

وَرَدِفَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: يَا بْنَ عَمِّ! مَالِىَ أَرَاكَ مُتَخَشِّعًا؟ أَسْبِلْ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِزَارُهُ إِلَى نِصْف سَاقِه، ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: هَكَذَا إِزْرَةُ صَاحِبنَا، فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ أُسَارَى الْمُسْلمِينَ إِلَّا بلَّغَهُمْ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ قَائِمُونَ نَادَى مُنَادِى رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ : أَيُّها النَّاسُ! الْبَيْعَةَ الْبَيْعَةَ؛ نَزَلَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ، فَسرنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَهُوَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ سَمُرَةٍ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللهِ: {لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ} (*)، قَالَ: فَبَايَعَ لِعُثْمَانَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى، فَقالَ النَّاسُ: هَنِيئًا لِأَبى عَبْدِ اللهِ؛ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَنَحْنُ هَاهُنَا، فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : لَوْ مَكَثَ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَنَةً مَا طَافَ حَتَّى أَطُوفَ".
