bukhari:1878ʿAlī > Sufyān > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUrwah > Usāmah

Once the Prophet ﷺ stood at the top of a (looked out from upon one) castle amongst the castles (or the high buildings) of Medina and said, "Do you see what I see? (No doubt) I see the spots where afflictions will take place among your houses (and these afflictions will be) as numerous as the spots where raindrops fall."  

البخاري:١٨٧٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ سَمِعْتُ أُسَامَةَ ؓ قَالَ

أَشْرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى أُطُمٍ مِنْ آطَامِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى إِنِّي لأَرَى مَوَاقِعَ الْفِتَنِ خِلاَلَ بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَوَاقِعِ الْقَطْرِ  

تَابَعَهُ مَعْمَرٌ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
