[Machine] "While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man approached and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will the hope of your nation last?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent until the man asked him three times. Then the man left, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'You asked me about something that no one from my nation has ever asked me about. The hope of my nation will last for one hundred years.' The man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, will there be any signs or indications for that?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Yes, there will be throwing of pebbles, sinking of lands, earthquakes, and the sending of stoned devils upon people.'"  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وُقُوفٌ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مُدَّةُ رَجَاءِ أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي رَجَاءُ أُمَّتِي مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ» قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلْ لِتِلْكَ مِنْ أَمَارَةٍ أَوْ آيَةٍ أَوْ عَلَامَةٍ قَالَ «نَعَمْ الْقَذْفُ وَالْخَسْفُ وَالرَّجْفُ وَإِرْسَالُ الشَّيَاطِينِ الْمُلْجَمَةِ عَنِ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] I know that among the nation of Muhammad ﷺ in Hellfire are people who say: "If we were misguided, what about the five daily prayers, both day and night? Verily, there are only two prayers: Asr and Fajr." And there are people who say: "Indeed, faith is only words. And if one commits adultery or kills..."  

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَهْلَ دِينَيْنِ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فِي النَّارِ قَوْمٌ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ كَانَ أَوَّلُنَا ضُلَّالًا مَا بَالُ خَمْسِ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ صَلَاتَانِ الْعَصْرُ وَالْفَجْرُ وَقَوْمٌ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا الْإِيمَانُ كَلَامٌ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ قَتَلَ  

[Machine] I heard Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i say, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the battle of Tabuk, and he was in a dome made of adham (a type of red clay). He said to me, 'O Awf, prepare for six things before the end of time: My death, the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), then two deaths that will afflict you like the deaths of sheep, then an abundance of wealth among you to the extent that a man will be given a hundred dinars and he will remain dissatisfied, then a fitnah (trial) in which no Arab household will be spared, then a truce between you and the Banu Asfar (Romans) that they will break and come to you under eighty flags, with each flag led by twelve thousand men. I (al-Awf) said, 'We remembered this hadith from a senior scholar of Madinah, whose name was Waleed ibn Muslim.' And he (Waleed) said, 'Then the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis.' The sheikh (Awf) said, 'Sa'eed al-Maqburi informed me from Abu Hurairah that he used to narrate these six things from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and instead of saying 'the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis,' he would say, 'the existence of Bayt al-Maqdis.'"  

سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيَّ يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَوْفُ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ مَوْتِي ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ثُمَّ مَوْتَانٌ يَأْخُذُ فِيكُمْ كَعُقَاصِ الْغَنَمِ ثُمَّ اسْتِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ سَاخِطًا ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ لَا يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ ثُمَّ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ فَذَاكَرْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ شَيْخًا مِنْ شُيُوخِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَوْلُهُ ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذِهِ السِّتَّةِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيَقُولُ بَدَلَ «فَتْحِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ» عِمْرَانُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ  

[Machine] I came from Sham to the city in search of knowledge, and I heard Mu'adh ibn Jabal saying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Those who love each other for the sake of Allah will have pulpits of light on the Day of Resurrection, and the martyrs will envy them.'"  

قَدِمْتُ مِنَ الشَّامِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَسَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي اللَّهِ لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ»  

[Machine] "And by Allah, indeed that is true, just as you are sitting. This hadith, even though it is stopped, its chain of narrators is authentic according to the condition of men, which is suitable for the hadith narrator mentioned before, which is authentic and stopped."  

«وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَحَقٌّ كَمَا أَنَّكَ جَالِسٌ» هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَوْقُوفًا فَإِنَّ إِسْنَادَهُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الرِّجَالِ وَهُوَ اللَّائِقُ بِالْمُسْنِدِ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَهُ صحيح موقوف  

[Machine] About a man from the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ named Tha'alib, who was the nephew of Al-Najashi. He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Make a peace treaty with the Romans that is safe and secure, until you both attack a common enemy from behind them and achieve victory and gain spoils. Then you part ways until you descend upon a place called Marj Dhi Tul  

عَنْ ذِي مِخْمَرٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي النَّجَاشِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا حَتَّى تَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجِ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ وَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَلِ اللَّهُ غَلَبَ فَيَتَدَاوَلَانِهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُ إِلَى صَلِيبِهِمْ وَهُمْ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرُ بَعِيدٍ فَيَدُقُّهُ وَيَثُورُ الرُّومُ إِلَى كَاسِرِ صَلِيبِهِمْ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ وَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى أَسْلِحَتِهِمْ فَيُقْتَلُونَ فَيُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَيَقُولُ الرُّومُ لِصَاحِبِ الرُّومِ كَفَيْنَاكَ جَدَّ الْعَرَبِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: you will make a secure peace with the Byzantines, then you and they will fight an enemy behind you, and you will be victorious, take booty, and be safe. You will then return and alight in a meadow with mounds and one of the Christians will raise the cross and say: The cross has conquered. One of the Muslims will become angry and smash it, and the Byzantines will act treacherously and prepare for the battle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4292)   

انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْمَرٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَتُصَالِحُكُمُ الرُّومُ صُلْحًا آمِنًا ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ وَتَفْتَحُونَ ثُمَّ تُنْصَرُونَ بِمَرْجٍ فَيَرْفَعُ لَهُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ الصَّلِيبَ فَيَغْضَبُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيَدُقُّ الصَّلِيبُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَغْضَبُ الرُّومُ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Constantinople will be conquered, and what a wonderful leader its leader will be, and what a wonderful army that army will be." Ubaidullah said: "Then Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik called me and asked me about this hadith, so I narrated it to him, and he (Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik) then conquered Constantinople."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَتُفْتَحَنَّ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ وَلَنِعْمَ الْأَمِيرُ أَمِيرُهَا وَلَنِعْمَ الْجَيْشُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ» قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ «فَدَعَانِي مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَغَزَا الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ writing, and a man asked, "Which of the two cities will be conquered first, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "The city of Heraclius," referring to the city of Constantinople.  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَكْتُبُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ قَبْلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «مَدِينَةُ هِرَقْلَ» يُرِيدُ مَدِينَةَ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said to Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, "May Allah protect you, O Ka'b, from the leadership of the foolish." Ka'b asked, "And what is the leadership of the foolish, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "It is the princes who come after me, who do not follow my guidance, nor abide by my Sunnah. Whoever believes in their lies and supports them in their injustice is not of me, and I am not of them. They will not meet me at my pond. And whoever does not believe in their lies and does not support them in their injustice is of me, and I am of them. They will meet me at my pond. O Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins, and prayer is a proof or an evidence. O Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, no meat that grew from unlawful sources will enter Paradise. The fire is more deserving of it. O Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, people are traveling for sale, either freeing themselves or ruining themselves."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ «أَعَاذَكَ اللَّهُ يَا كَعْبُ مِنْ إِمَارَةِ السُّفَهَاءِ» قَالَ وَمَا إِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ أُمَرَاءُ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي لَا يَهْدُونَ بِهَدْيِي وَلَا يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي فَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَأُولَئِكَ لَيْسُوا مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا يَرُدُّونَ عَلَى حَوْضِي وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَأُولَئِكَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ وَسَيَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ حَوْضِي يَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ وَالصَّلَاةُ قُرْبَانٌ أَوْ قَالَ بُرْهَانٌ يَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ لَحْمٌ نَبَتَ مِنْ سُحْتٍ أَبَدًا النَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ يَا كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ النَّاسُ غَادِيَانِ فَمُبْتَاعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ قَالَ فَمُوبِقُهَا  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was inside a dome made of adhami (a type of stone). As I passed by, he heard my voice and said, "O Awf bin Malik, come in." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I bring all of it (food) or just a portion?" He said, "No, bring all of it." So I entered and he said, "O Awf, prepare six (people) before the Hour (Day of Judgment)." So I asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "The death of the Messenger of Allah." Awf started to cry and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Say one by one." I said, "One." Then he said, "The conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem)." I said, "Two." He said, "A death will occur among my Ummah (followers) like a sheep being slaughtered." I said, "Three." He said, "They will be given the world (wealth) until a man becomes angry with it." I said, "Four." He said, "And a trial in which no one from the Muslims will be spared except that it enters his home." I said, "Five." He said, "And a truce between you and the Banu Asfar (Romans), where they come to you at 80 destinations, every destination being 12,000 (soldiers), but they will deceive you until a woman carries her child and she is asked (about Islam) but she denies it." Then when the Year of Amwas came, they claimed that Awf bin Malik said to Muadh bin Jabal, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Prepare six people before the Hour.'" So three of them have already occurred and three remain. Muadh said, "This will happen but five of them are sufficient for you. Whoever experiences anything from them and is able to die, then let him die, so that the curse appears on the pulpits and the wealth of Allah is given based on lies and deception, blood is shed unjustly, family ties are severed, and a person wakes up not knowing whether he is rightly guided or astray."  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ إِذْ مَرَرْتُ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ «يَا عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ادْخُلْ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكُلِّي أَمْ بَعْضِي؟ فَقَالَ «بَلْ كُلُّكَ» قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ فَقَالَ «يَا عَوْفُ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ» فَقُلْتُ مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «مَوْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ» فَبَكَى عَوْفٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْ إِحْدَى قُلْتُ إِحْدَى ثُمَّ قَالَ وَفَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قُلِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْتُ اثْنَيْنِ قَالَ وَمَوْتٌ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي كَعُقَاصِ الْغَنَمِ قُلْ ثَلَاثٌ قُلْتُ ثَلَاثٌ قَالَ وَتُفْتَحُ لَهُمُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ الْمِائَةَ فَيَسْخَطَهَا قُلْ أَرْبَعٌ قُلْتُ أَرْبَعٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَيْتَهُ قُلْ خَمْسٌ قُلْتُ خَمْسٌ «وَهُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ يَأْتُونَكُمْ عَلَى ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً كُلُّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا ثُمَّ يَغْدِرُونَ بِكُمْ حَتَّى حَمْلِ امْرَأَةٍ» قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عَامَ عَمْوَاسَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِي «اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ» فَقَدْ كَانَ مِنْهُنَّ الثَّلَاثُ وَبَقِيَ الثَّلَاثُ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ إِنَّ لِهَذَا مُدَّةً وَلَكِنْ خَمْسٌ أَظْلَلْنَكُمْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَلْيَمُتْ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ التَّلَاعُنُ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ وَيُعْطَى مَالُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وِالْبُهْتَانِ وَسَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَتُقْطَعُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَيُصْبِحُ الْعَبْدُ لَا يَدْرِي أَضَالٌّ هُوَ أَمْ مُهْتِدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr, what will you do when people are hungry to the point where you cannot make it from your mosque to your bed, or from your bed to your mosque?" Abu Dharr replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fast." Then he asked, "What will you do when people die, to the point where your house is full of guests?" Abu Dharr responded, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Be patient." Then he asked, "What will you do when people come, to the point where the noble ones are covered in blood?" Abu Dharr answered, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Join whoever you are with." Abu Dharr asked, "What if they come after me?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "If you fear that the rays of the sword will dazzle you, then throw a piece of your garment on your face. It will bear the sin of both you and him, and you will be among the people of Hellfire." Abu Dharr asked, "Should I not carry a weapon?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then you will be part of it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا جَاعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى لَا تَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ مَسْجِدِكَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ وَلَا مِنْ فِرَاشِكَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «تَعِفُّ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا مَاتَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْبَيْتُ بِالْوَضِيفِ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «تَصْبِرُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَغْزُوَ أَصْحَابُ الرُّتَبِ بِالدِّمَاءِ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «تَأْتِي مَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ أُتِيَ عَلَيَّ؟ قَالَ «إِنْ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَبْهَرَكَ شُعَاعُ السَّيْفِ فَأَلْقِ طَائِفَةً مِنْ رِدَائِكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِهِ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ» قُلْتُ أَفَلَا أَحْمِلُ السِّلَاحَ؟ قَالَ «إِذًا تُشَارِكُهُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: O AbuDharr. I replied: At thy service and at thy pleasure, Messenger of Allah. He then mentioned the tradition in which he said: What will you do when there the death of the people (in Medina) and a house will reach the value of a slave (that is, a grave will be sold for a slave). I replied: Allah and His Apostle know best. Or he said: What Allah and His Apostle choose for me. He said: You must show endurance. Or he said; you may endure. He then said to me: What will you do, AbuDharr, when you see the Ahjar az-Zayt covered with blood? I replied: What Allah and His Apostle choose for me. He said: You must go to those who are like-minded. I asked: Should I not take my sword and put it on my shoulder? He replied: you would then associate yourself with the people. I then asked: What do you order me to do? You must stay at home. I asked: (What should I do) if people enter my house and find me? He replied: If you are afraid the gleam of the sword may dazzle you, put the end of your garment over your face in order that (the one who kills you) may bear the punishment of your sins and his. Abu Dawud said: No one mentioned al-Mush'ath in the chain of this tradition except Hammad b. Zaid. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4261)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ جُوعٌ تَأْتِي مَسْجِدَكَ فَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ وَتَأْتِي فِرَاشَكَ فَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْهَضَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِكَ» قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ أَوْ مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ لِي وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالْعِفَّةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَحْجَارَ الزَّيْتِ قَدْ عُرِّفَتْ بِالدَّمِ؟» قُلْتُ مَا خَارَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ تَلْحَقُ بِمَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِمَنْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ أَفَلَا آخُذُ سَيْفِي فَأَضَعُهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِي؟ قَالَ «شَارَكْتَ إِذًا» قُلْتُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «تَلْزَمُ بَيْتَكَ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ «فَإِنْ خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَبْهَرَكَ شُعَاعُ السَّيْفِ فَأَلْقِ رِدَاءَكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah will not fail to detain this community for less than half a day. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4349)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَنْ يُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مِنْ نِصْفِ يَوْمٍ»  

[Machine] "From Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him."  

عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ  

[Machine] "A time will come upon you wherein nobody will be saved except the one who calls upon the drowning supplication." This is a sound narration according to the conditions of Al-Shaykhayn (referring to Al-Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not include it in their conditions.  

«يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ لَا يَنْجُو فِيهِ إِلَّا مَنْ دَعَا دُعَاءَ الْغَرَقِ» هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] We sent the Messenger of Allah ﷺ around the city on foot so that we may plunder, but we returned without gaining anything. Our exhaustion was evident on our faces, so a speaker arose among us and said, "O Allah, do not leave them dependent on me, for I am weak towards them. Do not leave them dependent on themselves, as they may become incapable. Also, do not leave them dependent on people, for then they will have an advantage over them." (Sahih Hadith)  

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا لِنَغْنَمَ فَرَجَعْنَا وَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ وَعُرِفَ الْجَهْدُ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَأَضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ» صحيح  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to them and there were hanging dates and Qanwa (a bag made of camel wool) containing dates, and he had a stick with him. He stabbed the stick into the Qanwa and said, "If Allah had willed, this charity would have given better and more delicious dates than these. Indeed, the one who consumes the dates from this charity on the Day of Resurrection will be satisfied." Then he turned to us and said, "By Allah, O people of Al-Madinah, you will remain in dire need for forty years." We said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you know what 'Al-Awaf' means?" We said, "No, we do not know." He said, "Birds and wild animals."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَقْنَاءُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَقِنْوٌ مِنْهَا حَشَفٌ وَمَعَهُ عَصًا فَطَعَنَ بِالْعَصَا فِي الْقِنْوِ وَقَالَ «لَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبَ مِنْهَا إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ يَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَمَا وَاللَّهِ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا مُذَلَّلَةً أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا لِلْعَوَافِي» قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْعَوَافِي؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, Medina will be left in a good state, as long as birds and wild animals consume it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى خَيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ تَأْكُلُهَا الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "You will fight the people of the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will grant you victory over them. Then, you will fight the Romans and Allah will grant you victory over them. Then, you will fight the Persians and Allah will grant you victory over them. Then, you will fight the Dajjal (the Antichrist) and Allah will grant you victory over him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تُقَاتِلُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُقَاتِلُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُقَاتِلُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُقَاتِلُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ»  

"The great Malhamah, the conquest of Constantinople, and the coming of the Dajjal occur in (the span of) seven months." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2238)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «الْمَلْحَمَةُ الْعُظْمَى وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَخُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ»  

[Machine] "The day was long for me, so I remembered the person I was speaking to and he started telling me about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I started telling him. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The one who sleeps during times of turmoil is better than the one who lies down, and the one who lies down is better than the one who sits, and the one who sits is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who rides, and the one who rides is better than the one who runs.'" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, when will that be?" He said, "Those are the days of chaos when a person can't trust his companion." I said, "What do you command me to do if I live to witness that time?" He said, "Restrain your hand and tongue, and stay inside your home." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if someone enters my home?" He said, "Then enter your room." I said, "What if someone enters my room?" He said, "Then enter your mosque and do this," and he held his right hand over his left forearm and said, "Recite 'My Lord is Allah' until you die doing so."  

طَالَ عَلَيَّ النَّهَارُ فَتَذَكَّرْتُ مَنْ أَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنِي فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُضْطَجِعِ وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ وَالرَّاكِبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُجْرِي» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ أَيَّامَ الْهَرْجِ حِينَ لَا يَأْمَنُ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيسَهُ» قُلْتُ فَبِمَ تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ؟ قَالَ «اكْفُفْ نَفْسَكَ وَيَدَكَ وَادْخُلْ دَارَكَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ دَارِي؟ قَالَ «فَادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ «فَادْخُلْ مَسْجِدَكَ وَاصْنَعْ هَكَذَا وَقَبَضَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى الْكُوعِ وَقُلْ رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me for a task, then he encountered me on some paths of the city, and then he climbed Uhud and I climbed with him. He faced the city and said something to it, then he said, "May your mother be wailed or may her mother be wailed, a city whose people leave it, where the birds and wild animals eat its fruit and the Antichrist will not enter it, if Allah wills, whenever he wants to enter it, an angel with every corner of its garment will prevent him from entering."  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ عَارَضَنِي فِي بَعْضِ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ عَلَى أُحُدٍ وَصَعِدْتُ مَعَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا قَوْلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «وَيْلَ أُمِّكَ أَوْ وَيْحَ أُمِّهَا قَرْيَةً يَدَعُهَا أَهْلُهَا أَيْنَعَ مَا يَكُونُ يَأْكُلُهَا عَافِيَةُ الطَّيْرِ وَالسِّبَاعِ يَأْكُلُ ثَمَرَهَا وَلَا يَدْخُلُهَا الدَّجَّالُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ كُلَّمَا أَرَادَ دُخُولَهَا تَلَقَّاهُ بِكُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ نِقَابِهَا مَلَكٌ مُصْلِتٌ يَمْنَعُهُ عَنْهَا»  

[Machine] He said about this verse, "And We will surely make them taste the nearer punishment prior to the greater punishment." [Surah As-Sajda 21]. He said, "The afflictions of the world are the Romans, aggression, or smoke." He said, then something interrupted and he said, "He is the Antichrist."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَدْنَى دُونَ الْعَذَابِ الْأَكْبَرِ} [السجدة 21] قَالَ «مُصِيبَاتُ الدُّنْيَا الرُّومُ وَالْبَطْشَةُ أَوِ الدُّخَانُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ انْقَطَعَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ «هُوَ الدَّجَّالُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The Hour will not be established until there are ten signs: the sun rising from the west, the descent of Jesus son of Mary, the emergence of Gog and Magog, the appearance of the Beast, the smoke, the Dajjal (Antichrist), the sinking of the east, the sinking of the west, the sinking of the Arabian Peninsula, and a fire that will drive people to their places of assembly, gathering both humans and jinn."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ خَسْفٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَخَسْفٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ وَخَسْفٌ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَالدَّجَّالُ وَالدُّخَانُ وَنُزُولُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فَيَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ وَالدَّابَّةُ وَطُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَنَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قَعْرِ عَدْنَ تَسُوقُ النَّاسَ إِلَى الْمَحْشَرِ تَحْشُرُ الذَّرَّ وَالنَّمْلَ  

[Machine] I heard Umar ibn Al-Khattab saying, "I have come to know, by the Lord of the Kaaba, when the Arabs will perish. It is when their ruler is someone who did not accompany the Messenger ﷺ and did not address the matters of ignorance."  

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ مَتَى تَهْلِكُ الْعَرَبُ إِذَا وَلِي أَمْرَهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَصْحَبِ الرَّسُولَ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُعَالِجْ أَمْرَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The signs come after two hundred (years)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْآيَاتُ بَعْدَ الْمِأَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] Huzaifah said, "How are you and what a great temptation it is, in which every wealthy person is concealed?" He said, I said, "By Allah, it is nothing but the provision of a sleeping person that we find here and there, throwing every aim." He said, "Shouldn't you be like Al-Abbas? No knee to ride on and no udder to milk."  

حُذَيْفَةُ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَفِتْنَةٌ خَيْرُ أَهْلِهَا فِيهَا كُلُّ غَنِيٍّ خَفِيٍّ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا عَطَاءُ أَحَدٍ نَائِمٍ نَطْرَحُ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا وَنَرْمِي كُلَّ مَرْمَى قَالَ «أَفَلَا تَكُونُ كَابْنِ اللَّبُونِ لَا رَكُوبَةٌ فَتُرْكَبَ وَلَا حَلُوبَةٌ فَتُحْلَبَ»  

Messenger of Allah, what about him who would be made to accompany this army willy nilly? Thereupon he said: He would be made to sink along with them but he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection on the basis of his intention. Abu Ja'far said. ' This plain, ground means the plain ground of Medina. (Using translation from Muslim 2882a)   

دَخَلَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمَا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَاهَا عَنِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي يُخْسَفُ بِهِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَعُوذُ عَائِذٌ بِالْحَرَمِ فَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بِجَيْشٍ فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ بِمَنْ يَخْرُجُ كَارِهًا؟ قَالَ «يُخْسَفُ بِهِ مَعَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَعُوذُ عَائِذٌ بِالْبَيْتِ»  

An invading army will come toward this House until when they are in Al-Baida, the middle of them will be swallowed up by the earth. The first of them will call out to the last of them, and they will be wallowed up, until there is no one left of them except a fugitive who will tell of what happened to them." A man (hearing the narration) said: "I bear witness that you did not attribute a lie to your grandfather, and I bear witness that your grandfather did not attribute a lie to Hafsah, and I bear witness that Hafsh, did not attribute a lie to the Prophet. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2880)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيَؤُمَّنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ جَيْشٌ يَغْزُونَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِأَوْسَطِهِمْ فَيُنَادُوا أَوَّلُهُمْ آخِرُهُمْ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ خَسٍفًا لَا يَنْجُو إِلَّا الشَّرِيدُ الَّذِي يُخْبِرُ عَنْهُمْ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَذَبْتَ عَلَى جَدِّكَ وَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَدِّكَ أَنَّهُ مَا كَذَبَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

"Troops will not cease to attack this House until an army of them are swallowed up by the earth." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2878)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَنْتَهِي الْبُعُوثُ عَنْ غَزْوِ بَيْتِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى حَتَّى يُخْسَفَ بِجَيْشٍ مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There is not a single house, made of mud or bricks, but Allah will surely make His word (the message of Islam) enter it, either through honor or humiliation. He will honor those who embrace Islam, and humiliate those who reject it. Therefore, they will only worship Him (Allah)."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَبْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ بَيْتِ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ بِذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ يُعِزَّهُمُ اللَّهُ فَيَجْعَلُهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَوْ يُذِلُّهُمْ فَلَا يَدِينُوا لَهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said, "My Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, the greatest of which is the group that measures matters by their own opinions, forbidding what is permissible and allowing what is forbidden."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَتَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى بِضْعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً أَعْظَمُهَا فِرْقَةُ قَوْمٍ يَقِيسُونَ الْأُمُورَ بِرَأْيِهِمْ فَيُحَرِّمُونَ الْحَلَالَ وَيُحَلِّلُونَ الْحَرَامَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "This matter (Islam) will reach the farthest regions of the day and night, and Allah will not leave a house of mud or hair, but He will make this religion enter it by either honouring a mighty person or humiliating a disgraced one. Allah will honour the Muslims with Islam and humiliate the disbelievers with kufr." Tameem ad-Dari used to say: "I have realized this in my family. Whoever among them accepts Islam will find goodness, honor, and superiority. And whoever remains a disbeliever will experience humiliation, inferiority, and jizyah (tax)."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَيَبْلُغَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ مَبْلَغَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَلَا يَتْرُكُ اللَّهُ بَيْتَ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ هَذَا الدِّينَ بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ بِذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ يُعِزُّ بِعِزِّ اللَّهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَيُذِلَّ بِهِ فِي الْكُفْرِ» وَكَانَ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ يَقُولُ «قَدْ عَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي لَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمُ الْخَيْرَ وَالشَّرَفَ وَالْعِزَّ وَلَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ كَانَ كَافِرًا الذُّلَّ وَالصَّغَارَ وَالْجِزْيَةَ»  

[Machine] A man said: "O Abu 'Abdullah, how can it be that a matter, if one takes it today, is guidance, and if one takes it after today, it is misguidance?" He replied: "You have indeed done it. Consider this with two men who passed by a people who were committing sins. They both disapproved of it, but one of them remained silent and the other spoke up. They took him and brought him to their leader, and they did not stop until they took hold of him and carried out their punishment on him."  

رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ أَمْرٌ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ كَانَ هُدًى وَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ كَانَ ضَلَالَةً؟ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُمُوهُ اعْتَبِرُوا ذَلِكَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ مَرَّا بِقَوْمٍ يَعْمَلُونَ بِالْمَعَاصِي فَأَنْكَرَا كِلَاهُمَا وَصَمَتَ أَحَدُكُمَا فَسَلِمَ وَتَكَلَّمَ الْآخَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ وَتَفْعَلُونَ فَأَخَذُوهُ وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى ذِي سُلْطَانِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَوْ لَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى أَخَذَ بِأَخْذِهِ وَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from my Ummah will be given allegiance between the Rukn and the Maqam, just like the number of the people of Badr. Then, the tribes of Iraq and the replacements from Sham (Greater Syria) will come to him, and an army from Sham will also join them. When they are in the desert, they will be swallowed by the earth, and then a man from the Quraysh, with his uncles as leaders, will defeat them by the will of Allah." It is said that on that day, the one who is disgraced is the one who fails to acquire any wealth except that of a dog. Abu Al-Awam Imran's weakness was not alone, and he was an outsider.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُبَايِعُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ كَعِدَّةِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَيَأْتِيهِ عَصَبُ الْعِرَاقِ وَأَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ فَيَأْتِيهِمْ جَيْشٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَسِيرُ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيَهْزِمُهُمُ اللَّهُ» قَالَ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ الْخَائِبَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ خَابَ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ كَلْبٍ أبوالعوام عمران ضعفه غير واحد وكان خارجيا  

[Machine] From Abu Hurayrah, raised, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Anything that is prohibited from war spoils, even if it is a dog's saddle, is considered haram. And I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, their women will be sold in Damascus until a woman comes back after being broken in her leg."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مَرْفُوعًا «الْمَحْرُومُ مِنْ حُرِمَ غَنِيمَةَ كَلْبٍ وَلَوْ عِقَالًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتُبَاعُنَّ نِسَاءَهُمْ عَلَى دَرَجِ دِمَشْقَ حَتَّى تُرَدَّ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ كَسَرٍ يُوجَدُ بِسَاقَهَا»  

[Machine] "I entered the mosque and found a group of people sitting together, it seemed as if their heads had been cut off. Among them, there was a man speaking. When Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) entered, he said, 'They used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good things, while I used to ask him about evil things in order to protect myself from them. I have learned that good will never cease coming to me.' Hudhayfah continued, 'O Messenger of Allah, after the good that we are experiencing, will there be any evil?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and act upon what is in it.' I repeated my question two more times, and each time the Prophet ﷺ gave the same response. Then, I asked, 'Will there be any good after that evil?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'There will be trials and disputes.' I asked again, 'Will there be any good after that evil?' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'There will be trials that will lead people to the gates of Hell, and there will be callers inviting people to enter it. It is better for you to die while holding onto the roots of a tree than to follow any of them.'"  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا حَلْقَةٌ كَأَنَّمَا قُطِعَتْ رُءُوسُهُمْ وَإِذَا فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ فَإِذَا حُذَيْفَةُ قَالَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ كَيْمَا أَعْرِفَهُ فَأَتَّقِيَهُ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَفُوتَنِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي نَحْنُ فِيهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ «يَا حُذَيْفَةُ تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ» فَأَعَدْتُ قُولِي عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ «فِتْنَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ قَالَ «يَا حُذَيْفَةُ تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ قَالَ «فِتَنٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَى النَّارِ فَلَأَنْ تَمُوتَ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ»  

[Machine] "It is as if it is a piece of the dark night, O people, in which some companion desires to eat from the head of his sheep and a man from behind the trail holds the reins of his horse and eats from his sword." (This narration is authenticated and not narrated by anyone else.)  

كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فِيهَا أَوْ قَالَ مِنْهَا صَاحِبُ شَاءٍ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ رَأْسِ غَنَمِهِ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الدَّرْبِ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَيْفِهِ «مَوْقُوفٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ» صحيح موقوف  

Subay' ibn Khalid said: I came to Kufah at the time when Tustar was conquered. I took some mules from it. When I entered the mosque (of Kufah), I found there some people of moderate stature, and among them was a man whom you could recognize when you saw him that he was from the people of Hijaz. I asked: Who is he? The people frowned at me and said: Do you not recognize him? This is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Hudhayfah said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Then the people stared hard at him. He said: I know the reason why you dislike it. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil as there was before, after this good which Allah has bestowed on us? He replied: Yes. I asked: Wherein does the protection from it lie? He replied: In the sword. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what will then happen? He replied: If Allah has on Earth a caliph who flays your back and takes your property, obey him, otherwise die holding onto the stump of a tree. I asked: What will come next? He replied: Then the Antichrist (Dajjal) will come forth accompanied by a river and fire. He who falls into his fire will certainly receive his reward, and have his load taken off him, but he who falls into his river will have his load retained and his reward taken off him. I then asked: What will come next? He said: The Last Hour will come. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4244)   

خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ زَمَنَ فُتِحَتْ تُسْتَرُ لِأَجْلِبَ مِنْهَا بِغَالًا فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا صَدْعٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ تَعْرِفُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ مِنْ رِجَالِ الْحِجَازِ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَحَدَّقَنِي الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ وَقَالُوا مَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا؟ هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ صَاحِبُ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا اللَّهُ يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ كَمَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «السَّيْفُ» قُلْتُ وَهَلْ لِلسَّيْفِ مِنْ بَقِيَّةٍ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ» قَالَ «جَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى فِرْقَةٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَلِيفَةٌ ضَرَبَ ظَهْرَكَ وَأَخَذَ مَالَكَ فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ وَإِلَّا فَمُتْ عَاضًّا بِجِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ» قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ وَمَعَهُ نَهْرٌ وَنَارٌ فَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَارِهِ أَجَرَهُ وَحَطَّ وِزْرَهُ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَهْرِهِ وَجَبَ وِزْرُهُ وَحُطَّ أَجْرُهُ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيَامُ السَّاعَةِ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, trials have moments of standing and exhaustion, so whoever among you is able to die in those moments of standing, let them do so."  

«إِنَّ لِلْفِتْنَةِ وقَفَاتٍ وَتَعَبَاتٍ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فِي وَقَفَاتِهَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adversities will spread on the earth like the patches of a cow." A veiled man then passed by and said, "This is true for today." So, I approached him and held onto the edges of his garment and asked, "Is this him, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes, it is." Thus, it was Uthman.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُفْتَحُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فِتَنٌ كَصَيَاصِيِّ الْبَقَرِ» فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فَقَالَ «هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْحَقِّ» فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَجَامِعِ ثَوْبِهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «هَذَا» قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ  

[Machine] "And he heard Abu Hurairah seeking permission from Uthman to speak, so Uthman granted him permission. He stood up and praised Allah, exalted be He, and glorified Him, then he said: 'Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'You will face trials and disputes after me.' Someone said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you command us to do?' He replied: 'Obey the Amir (leader) and his companions.' And he pointed to Uthman while saying this."  

وَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عُثْمَانَ فِي الْكَلَامِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَقَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً وَاخْتِلَافًا أَوْ قَالَ اخْتِلَافًا وَفِتْنَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَمِيرِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ» وَهُوَ يُشِيرُ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ  

[Machine] He said: "Bring dates and fresh dates closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so they ate from them until nothing remained except the pits. There was no good in it, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do you know what this is? You are consuming the good until nothing is left but this (meaning the pits).'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُرِّبَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَمْرٌ وَرُطَبٌ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يُبْقُوا شَيْئًا إِلَّا نَوَاةً وَمَا لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟ تَذْهَبُونَ الْخَيِّرُ فَالْخَيِّرُ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هَذَا»  

“You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected (separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4038)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, you will be sifted just as dates are sifted from their husks. So the best among you will go and the worst among you will remain until only those who Allah does not care about will remain, so die if you can."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى إِلَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

“You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected (separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4038)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى إِلَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The time will come when people will be sifted and only the refuse of people will remain; their covenants and trusts will be broken, and they will differ and be like this." And he interlaced his fingers. They said, "So, how should we act, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You should take what you know and leave what you deny, and you should adhere to your own affairs and leave the general matters." Sa'id bin Mansur said, "The refuse of people is their despicability, and the meaning of his statement 'their covenants will be broken' is that they will not fulfill them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ زَمَانٌ يُغَرْبَلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ غَرْبَلَةً وَيَبْقَى حُثَالَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَاخْتَلَفُوا وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالُوا فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تَأْخُذُونَ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ وَتَدَعُونَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ وَتُقْبِلُونَ عَلَى أَمْرِ خَاصَّتِكُمْ وَتَدَعُونَ أَمْرَ عَامَّتِكُمْ» قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حُثَالَةُ النَّاسِ رَدَاءَتَهُمْ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَفُوا بِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established until Allah Almighty takes away the righteous people from the earth and only the wicked people remain who do not know goodness or forbid evil."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ اللَّهُ ﷻ شَرِيطَتَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَيَبْقَى عَجَاجٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا»  

[Machine] "The rulers will oppress you and Allah will punish them." According to the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.  

«يَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ يُعَذِّبُونَكُمْ وَيُعَذِّبُهُمُ اللَّهُ»
