[Machine] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked us about two events that are yet to occur. He said, "Where is the dam of the Nile?" We replied, "We do not know." Then a man from the tribe of Sulaym passed by, and I asked him, "Where have you come from?" He replied, "From the dam of the Nile." So, I called for my sandals and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, you asked us about the dam of the Nile, and we had no knowledge of it. Then this man passed by me, and I asked him, and he claimed it was near his people." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked him, "Where are your people?" He replied, "They are by the dam of the Nile." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Delay your people, for very soon fire will emerge from it, lighting up the necks of the camels in Busra."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِدْثَانَ مَا قَدِمَ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ حَبْسُ سَيْلٍ؟» قُلْنَا لَا نَدْرِي فَمَرَّ بِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَقُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟ فَقَالَ مِنْ حَبْسِ سَيْلٍ فَدَعَوْتُ بِنَعْلَيَّ فَانْحَدَرْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَأَلْتَنَا عَنْ حَبْسِ سَيْلٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَنَا بِهِ عَلْمٌ وَإِنَّهُ مَرَّ بِي هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ بِهِ أَهْلُهُ فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ أَهْلُكَ؟» قَالَ بِحَبْسِ سَيْلٍ فَقَالَ «أَخِّرْ أَهْلَكَ فَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ نَارٌ تُضِيءُ أَعْنَاقَ الْإِبِلِ بِبُصْرَى»
