46. Book of Tribulations and Great Wars
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ وَالْمَلَاحِمِ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, that he said, "Time will not increase except in difficulty, people will not increase except in greediness, and the Day of Judgment will not come except upon the worst of people." So I mentioned what reached me of the cause of this hadith in astonishment, not as a proof, in the Mustadrak of Al-Shaykhayn. Indeed, the most appropriate place to mention this hadith is in this context, authentic.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَنْ يَزْدَادَ الزَّمَانُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا يَزْدَادُ النَّاسُ إِلَّا شُحًّا وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ» فَذَكَرْتُ مَا انْتَهَى إِلَيَّ مِنْ عِلَّةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعَجُّبًا لَا مُحْتَجًّا بِهِ فِي الْمُسْتَدْرَكِ عَلَى الشَّيْخَيْنِ فَإِنَّ أَوْلَى مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ذِكْرَهُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ صحيح
[Machine] "A time will come upon people when they gather in mosques but there will be no true believer among them."
«يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ مُؤْمِنٌ»
[Machine] "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and when we returned, the people hurriedly entered the city. The Prophet ﷺ asked about them, and he was informed that they had rushed to the city. He said, 'It is as if they have left something better than what they used to have. I wish my hair had turned gray, and I wonder when a fire will emerge from the mountain of Al-Warraq and light up the necks of people in Al-Bukht with the brightness of daylight.'"
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا تَعَجَّلَ النَّاسُ فَدَخَلُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّهُمْ تَعَجَّلُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَدَعُوهَا أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَتْ لَيْتَ شَعْرِي مَتَى تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ مِنْ جَبَلِ الْوَرَّاقِ فَتُضِيءُ لَهَا أَعْنَاقُ الْبُخْتِ بِالْبُصْرَى سُرُوجًا كَضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A fire will come out from the prison of Seel, moving slowly, hiding in the night and moving in the day. It will appear in the morning and disappear in the evening. People will say, 'The fire has appeared, so be alert.' The fire will then say, 'O people, the fire has gotten what it wants, so you may go.' Whoever is caught by it, it will consume him." It has been narrated by Asim ibn Adi al-Ansari, Abu Hurairah, and Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. Its mention also precedes in a narration by Rafa'ah ibn Bashir al-Sulami, but its source is unknown.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ مِنْ حَبْسِ سَيْلٍ تَسِيرُ بِسَيْرٍ بَطِيئَةٍ تَكْمُنُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَتَسِيرُ بِالنَّهَارِ تَغْدُو وَتَرُوحُ يُقَالُ غَدَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَاغْدُوا قَالَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَقِيلُوا رَاحَتِ النَّارُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَرُوحُوا مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ أَكَلَتْهُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي ذِكْرِ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ خُرُوجَ النَّارِ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُهُ رافع بن بشر السلمي مجهول
