The Euphrates will uncover gold

bukhari:7119ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿīd al-Kindī > ʿUqbah b. Khālid > ʿUbaydullāh > Khubayb b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān > Ḥafṣ b. ʿĀṣim > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Euphrates will soon recede, exposing a treasure of gold; whoever is present at it should not take anything from it."

Uqbah said: Ubaydullah also narrated to us: Abu al-Zinad narrated to us, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ, the like of it, except that he said: "It will recede, exposing a mountain of gold."

البخاري:٧١١٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَمَنْ حَضَرَهُ فَلاَ يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا».

قَالَ عُقْبَةُ: وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ، إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يَحْسِرُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Euphrates will soon uncover a treasure of gold; whoever finds it must not take anything from it."

Ubaydullah said: Abu al-Zinad narrated to me, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurayrah, that he said: "from a mountain of gold."

We do not know of anyone who narrated this hadith from Ubaydullah except Uqbah ibn Khalid.

البزّار:٧٥٥٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ الْكِنْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَمَنْ وَجَدَهُ فَلَا يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا».

قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ إِلَّا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ
