46. Book of Tribulations and Great Wars (3/8)
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ وَالْمَلَاحِمِ ص ٣
[Machine] A man entered upon me in the afternoon and I said, "O Abdullah, what do you need?" He replied, "I arrived and my companion and I have a need for sheltering our camels, so I entered to seek shade and drink some water." So I got up and went to a sour, acidic pasture and gave him water to drink. I asked him, "O Abdullah, who are you?" He said, "I am Abu Bakr, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whom you have heard about." I then mentioned some battles and raids we had in the pre-Islamic era, and how Allah has brought unity and peace among us. He said, "That's right" and interlaced his fingers. I asked him, "O Abdullah, how long will people be in this state?" He replied, "As long as the leaders are upright." I said, "And who are the leaders?" He said, "Do you not see how a specific person is followed by and obeyed by the noble ones, as long as they remain upright?"
دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَجُلٌ بِالظَّهِيرَةِ قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ قَالَ «أَقْبَلْتُ وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فِي بُغَاءِ إِبِلٍ لَنَا فَدَخَلْتُ أَسْتَظِلُّ بِالظِّلِّ وَاشْرَبُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ» فَقُمْتُ إِلَى ضَيْحَةٍ حَامِضَةٍ وَلَبِينَةٍ حَامِضَةٍ فَسَقَيْتُهُ وَقُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي سَمِعْتِ بِهِ» قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ خَثْعَمًا وَغَزْوَ بَعْضِنَا بَعْضًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَا جَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الِإِلْفَةِ وَأَطْنَابِ الْفَسَاطِيطِ هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى مَتَى أَمْرُ النَّاسِ هَكَذَا؟ قَالَ «مَا اسْتَقَامَتِ الْأَئِمَّةُ» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْأَئِمَّةُ؟ قَالَ «أَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى الْحُوَى يَكُونُ فِيهِ السَّيِّدُ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَيُطِيعُونَهُ مَا اسْتَقَامَ أُولَئِكَ»
[Machine] "When the first turmoil occurred, it troubled me, so I said, "O Allah, show me something from the matters of truth that I can hold onto." He said, "I showed you the worldly life and the Hereafter and between them is a wall that is not very high." And suddenly, I found myself on a hill and I said, "If I hold onto this hill, I might fall into the hands of my enemies, who are more courageous than me and will inform me." He said, "So I descended onto a piece of land with trees, and there was a group of people sitting. I asked them, "Are you the martyrs?" They replied, "No, we are the angels." I said, "Then where are the martyrs?" They said, "Go forward to the highest ranks, to Muhammad ﷺ ." So I went forward and suddenly, I found myself at a stage. Allah knows best what it represented, whether in terms of expansion or beauty. And then I found myself with Muhammad ﷺ and Ibrahim ﷺ . He (Muhammad) said to Ibrahim, "Seek forgiveness for my Ummah." But Ibrahim said to him, "You don't know what they will do after you. They will shed their blood and kill their leaders. Will they not do as my dear Khalil (Prophet Ibrahim's friend) did? (referring to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh). I said, "Show me, then I was shown Sa'd, and I saw with whom he was. So I went to him and told him about the dream, and he was very happy with it and said, "Woe to the one who does not have Ibrahim as his Khalil!" I asked, "Which of the two groups are you with?" He said, "I am not with either of them." I asked, "Then how do you command me?" He said, "Do you have a walking stick?" I said, "No." He said, "Then buy a walking stick and isolate yourself with it until the matter becomes clear."
لَمَّا كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الْأُولَى أَشْكَلَتْ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي أَمْرًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الْحَقِّ أَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ قَالَ فَأُرِيتُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ وَبَيْنَهُمَا حَائِطٌ غَيْرُ طَوِيلٍ وَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَائِزٍ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ تَشَبَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْجَائِزِ لَعَلِّي أَهْبِطُ إِلَى قَتْلَى أَشْجَعَ لِيُخْبِرُونِي قَالَ فَهَبَطْتُ بِأَرْضٍ ذَاتِ شَجَرٍ وَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَفَرٍ جُلُوسٌ فَقُلْتُ أَنْتُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ؟ قَالُوا لَا نَحْنُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ الشُّهَدَاءُ؟ قَالُوا تَقَدَّمْ إِلَى الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَتَقَدَّمْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِدَرَجَةٍ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مَا هِيَ فِي السَّعَةِ وَالْحَسَنِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِأُمَّتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ أَرَاقُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَقَتَلُوا إِمَامَهُمْ أَلَا فَعَلُوا كَمَا فَعَلَ خَلِيلِي سَعْدٌ قُلْتُ أُرَانِي قَدْ أُرِيتُ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فَأَنْظُرُ مَعَ مَنْ هُوَ فَأَكُونُ مَعَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَمَا أَكْثَرَ بِهَا فَرَحًا وَقَالَ «قَدْ شَقِيَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلًا» قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ «لَسْتُ مَعَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا» قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «أَلَكَ مَاشِيَةٌ؟» قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «فَاشْتَرِ مَاشِيَةً وَاعْتَزِلْ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَنْجَلِيَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man will be pledged allegiance between the corner (of the Ka'bah) and the Maqam (place of Ibrahim), and no one will make this house permissible except its people. When they allow it, do not ask about the destruction of the Arabs. Then the Abyssinians will come and ruin it in a way that cannot be rebuilt ever again. And they are the ones who will extract its treasure."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «يُبَايَعُ رَجُلٌ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَلَنْ يَسْتَحِلَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَهْلُهُ فَإِذَا اسْتَحَلُّوهُ فَلَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْ هَلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِ ثُمَّ تَجِيءُ الْحَبَشَةُ فَتُخَرِّبُهُ خَرَابًا لَا يَعْمُرُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَخْرِجُونَ كَنْزَهُ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, for it is only the Abyssinian with short legs who will seek to take out the treasure of the Ka'bah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4309)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «اتْرُكُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَخْرِجُ كَنْزَ الْكَعْبَةِ إِلَّا ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not come until the pilgrimage to the Kaaba is not performed."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى لَا يُحَجَّ الْبَيْتُ»
[Machine] "As for the branch, and Allah knows best, it has been confirmed and established from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that 'The Kaaba will be circumambulated and rebuilt after the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj.'"
عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ قَدْ صَحَّ وَثَبَتَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ يُحَجُّ وَيُعْتَمَرُ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Kaaba will be rebuilt, and people will continue to perform Hajj and Umrah after the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj. It is possible to perform Hajj and Umrah after that, but then Hajj will be discontinued after some time." (Sahih)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيُحَجَّنَّ الْبَيْتُ وَلَيُعْتَمَرَنَّ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ فَإِنَّهُ يُمَكِنُ أَنْ يُحَجَّ وَيُعْتَمَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَنْقَطِعُ الْحَجُّ بِمَرَّةٍ» صحيح
[Machine] "They said, 'Why is that, O Abu Abdullah?' He replied, 'Because they deny it from the Arabs.' Then he was silent for a moment, then he said, 'The people of Sham will soon not accept dirham or qafiz from us.' They asked, 'Why is that?' He replied, 'Because they prevent that from the Romans.' Then he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There will be a caliph in my Ummah who will collect wealth excessively without counting it.' Gold then kept silent about it in the summary."
أَنْ لَا يَجِيءَ إِلَيْهِمْ دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا قَفِيزٌ قَالُوا مِمَّ ذَاكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجَمِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ أَنْ لَا يَجِيءَ إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا مُدٌّ قَالُوا مِمَّ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be a caliph at the end of this nation who will distribute wealth without counting it." It was narrated by Muslim.
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَلِيفَةٌ يَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا» رواه مسلم
[Machine] "Time will come when a man will come to a grave and lie on top of it, and he will say, 'Oh, I wish I were in the place of its owner, for there is no greater love for meeting Allah except for what he sees of the intensity of tribulation.'"
يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ الْقَبْرَ فَيَضْطَجِعُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَ صَاحِبِهِ مَا بِهِ حُبُّ لِقَاءِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْبَلَاءِ
[Machine] An Arab man said, "O Messenger of Allah, does Islam have an end?" He said, "Yes, whoever from among the Arabs and non-Arabs whom Allah intends good for, He will enter them into Islam." They said, "Then what, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Then there will be trials and tribulations like patches of dark night." An Arab man said, "No, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will certainly have leadership and its whips striking your necks."
أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ مُنْتَهَى؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ» قَالُوا ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ يَقَعُ فِتَنٌ كَأَنَّهَا الظُّلَلُ» قَالَ فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ كَلَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will follow the practices of those before you, inch by inch, elbow by elbow, to the extent that if one of them entered the hole of a lizard, you would enter it too. And even if one of them were to have relations with his wife in a public road, you would do it too." This hadith is authentic/authentic.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَتَرْكَبُنَّ سُنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ شِبْرًا بِشِبْرٍ وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ دَخَلَ حُجْرَ ضَبٍّ لَدَخَلْتُمْ وَحَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ جَامِعَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِالطَّرِيقِ لَفَعَلْتُمُوهُ» صَحِيحٌصحيح
[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A wind will come before the Day of Judgment, in which the soul of every believer will be taken." This Hadith is authentic, but there is a break in it.
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَجِيءُ رِيحٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ يُقْبَضُ فِيهَا رُوحُ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ» صَحِيحٌفيه انقطاع
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah sends a breeze from Yemen softer than silk. So, do not let anyone have even a mustard seed's weight of doubt in his heart without taking hold of it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ رِيحًا مِنَ الْيَمَنِ أَلْيَنَ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ فَلَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلَّا قَبَضَتْهُ»
[Machine] The Hour will not be established until Allah sends a wind that will take away the souls of all the people who have even an atom's weight of goodness or piety or faith, and leaves only the wicked so that they commit adultery like donkeys in public, and then when that happens, the wrath of Allah will become severe upon the people, and He will establish the Hour.
«لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ رِيحًا لَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ تُقًى أَوْ نُهًى إِلَّا قَبَضَتْهُ وَيَلْحَقُ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ بِمَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَيَبْقَى عَجَاجٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا يَأْمُرُونَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلَا يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ يَتَنَاكَحُونَ فِي الطُّرُقِ كَمَا تَتَنَاكَحُ الْبَهَائِمُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ اشْتَدَّ غَضِبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَقَامَ السَّاعَةَ» موقوف
[Machine] "While the Prophet ﷺ was praying one night, he extended his hand and then withdrew it. We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we saw you doing something in this prayer that you have never done before.' He replied, 'Certainly, Paradise was displayed before me, and I saw its fruits near, so I wanted to take something from it. Then it was revealed to me that I should postpone this desire. So I postponed it. Then Hellfire was shown to me, and I saw both my shadow and your shadow in it. And I motioned to you to postpone, and it was revealed to me to grant intercession to you. Indeed, you have submitted, they have submitted; you have emigrated, they have emigrated; you have strived, they have strived. I have not seen any favor for you over them except in prophethood. So I have given precedence to that which my Ummah will encounter after me - trials and tribulations.'"
بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ صَلَاةً إِذْ مَدَّ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَّرَهَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ صَنَعْتَ فِي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ شَيْئًا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَصْنَعُهُ فِيمَا قَبْلَهُ قَالَ «أَجَلْ إِنَّهُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا دَالَيَةً قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ اسْتَأْخِرْ فَاسْتَأْخَرْتُ وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ ظِلِّي وَظِلَّكُمْ فِيهَا فَأَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَنِ اسْتَأْخِرُوا فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَقْرِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَسْلَمْتَ وَأَسْلَمُوا وَهَاجَرْتَ وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدْتَ وَجَاهَدُوا فَلَمْ أَرَ لَكَ فَضْلًا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا بِالنُّبُوَّةِ فَأَوَّلْتُ ذَلِكَ مَا يَلْقَى أُمَّتِي بَعْدِي مِنَ الْفِتَنِ»
[Machine] The correct translation of the given Arabic phrase "عُقْبَةُ هُوَ أَعْلَمُصحيح" into English is "Obstacle, He knows best correct."
عُقْبَةُ هُوَ أَعْلَمُصحيح
[Machine] The translation of the given text into English is:
Indeed, the Abyssinians will invade the mosque, and the Muslims will turn towards them. Then, Allah will send a wind upon them which will be of eastern origin. Allah will not leave a servant in whose heart there is even the weight of a mustard seed of Taqwa (God-consciousness) except that it will seize him. Then, when they have finished with their best people, there will remain a group of people who do not enjoin good or forbid evil. Every living being will follow the path of their forefathers in worshiping idols, and they will worship them until they are destroyed in the roads just as animals are destroyed. Then, the Hour (Day of Judgment) will be established upon them. So, whoever informs you of anything after this, then it is not knowledge for him." (This Hadith) is Saheeh (authentic) due to its two chains that meet the condition of Bukhari and Muslim, and it is Mawqoof (stopped) according to the condition of Bukhari and Muslim.
أَنَّ الْحَبَشَ يَغْزُونَ الْبَيْتَ فَيَتَوَجَّهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ نَحْوَهُمْ فَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا أَثَرُهَا شَرْقِيَّةٌ فَلَا يَدَعُ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ تُقًى إِلَّا قَبَضَتْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغُوا مِنْ خِيَارِهِمْ بَقِيَ عَجَاجٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا يَأْمُرُونَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلَا يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ وَعَمَدَ كُلُّ حَيٍّ إِلَى مَا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنَ الْأَوْثَانِ فَيَعْبُدُهُ حَتَّى يَتَسَافَدُوا فِي الطُّرُقِ كَمَا تَتَسَافَدُ الْبَهَائِمُ فَتَقُومُ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّاعَةُ فَمَنْ أَنْبَأَكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَ هَذَا فَلَا عِلْمَ لَهُ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا مَوْقُوفٌعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم موقوف
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah has a wind that He sends over the heads of people every hundred years, taking the soul of every believer."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ رِيحًا يَبْعَثُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ تَقْبِضُ رُوحَ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ»
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "There will come a time upon my nation when the reciters will increase and the scholars will decrease, and knowledge will be withdrawn, and there will be much commotion." They asked, "What is commotion, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Killing among yourselves. Then there will come a time after that when the Quran will be recited by men who do not surpass their throats (in understanding). Then there will come a time after that when a hypocrite, disbeliever, and polytheist will argue with a believer about Allah with similar things to what he says."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَأْتِي عَلَى أُمَّتِي زَمَانٌ تَكْثُرُ فِيهِ الْقُرَّاءُ وَتَقِلُّ الْفُقَهَاءُ وَيُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ» قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْقَتْلُ بَيْنَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَمَانٌ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ رِجَالٌ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ زَمَانٌ يُجَادِلُ الْمُنَافِقُ الْكَافِرُ الْمُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ الْمُؤْمِنَ بِمِثْلِ مَا يَقُولُ»
[Machine] "A time will come upon people where there will be no remaining believer except he had joined Sham."
«يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يَبْقَى فِيهِ مُؤْمِنٌ إِلَّا لَحِقَ بِالشَّامِ»
[Machine] "A fire is kindled that drives people from the east of the earth to its west, just as a caravan with broken camels is driven. Whatever remains behind of them, it says when they say; it also says when they sleep."
«تُبْعَثُ نَارٌ تَسُوقُ النَّاسَ مِنْ مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِهَا كَمَا يُسَاقُ الْجَمَلُ الْكَسِيرُ لَهَا مَا تَتَخَلَّفَ مِنْهُمْ إِذَا قَالُوا قَالَتْ وَإِذَا بَاتُوا بَاتَتْ»
[Machine] He is called Pharaoh, so while they were working on it, he regretted the gold. Then, his admirable craftsmanship amazed them when it collapsed on them.
يُقَالُ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ فِيهِ إِذْ حَسَرَ عَنِ الذَّهَبِ فَأَعْجَبَهُمْ مُعْتَمَلُهُ إِذْ خُسِفَ بِهِ وَبِهِمْ»
[Machine] We prayed the Friday prayer, so people gathered together until they were like a bunch around Abi Rajaa Al-Utariyy. They asked him about the fitnah (trial), and he responded: "Two men came to the gathering of Ubada ibn As-Samit and said, 'O son of As-Samit, repeat the hadith that you have narrated to us.' He replied, 'Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Soon, the best wealth will be two piles of Makki gold and silver, which will graze on top of the heads of wolves. They will eat from the leaves of qatad and basil, and their owners will eat their meat and drink their milk. And the Arabs' germs will move about in it, causing turmoil.' He repeated this statement three times and then he said, 'By Him in Whose Hand my life is, if one of you were to own three hundred sheep, and they eat from their meat and drink from their milk, it would be better for him than owning these golden bracelets and silver coins of yours.'"

[Machine] I heard Hudhaifa saying, "How are you when you forsake your religion, as a result women forsake their acceptance?"
This translation may not be entirely accurate as the provided sentence contains some grammatical errors.
سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا انْفَرَجْتُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمُ انْفِرَاجَ الْمَرْأَةِ عَنْ قُبُلِهَا» صحيح
[Machine] Huthayfah, how would you be if you abandon your religion, and a woman's release from her husband does not prevent anyone from approaching her? He said, a man said, "May Allah disgrace the incapable." He said, "No, rather you have been disgraced." These two hadiths have a sound chain of narrators and have not been included in Sahih collections.
حُذَيْفَةُ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا انْفَرَجْتُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمُ انْفِرَاجَ الْمَرْأَةِ عَنْ قُبُلِهَا لَا تَمْنَعُ مَنْ يَأْتِيهَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلَ قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ الْعَاجِزَ قَالَ «بَلْ قُبِّحْتَ أَنْتَ» هَذَانِ الْحَدِيثَانِ صَحِيحَا الْإِسْنَادَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ صحيح
[Machine] "I did not sleep last night until morning." I asked, "Why?" He said, "They said that the comet with a tail appeared, and I feared that the Dajjal had arrived."

[Machine] "For the Antichrist, there are signs and known facts when the eyes become red, rivers flow with blood, basil turns yellow, and the sound of footsteps can be heard. He will come from Iraq, specifically from Hamedan, and then he will settle in Kufa. So be prepared for the coming of the Antichrist, either soon or in the near future."
لِلدَّجَّالِ آيَاتٌ مَعْلُومَاتٌ إِذَا غَارَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَنَزَفَتِ الْأَنْهَارُ وَاصْفَرَّ الرَّيْحَانُ وَانْتَقَلَتْ مَذْحِجُ وَهَمْدَانُ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ فَنَزَلَتْ قِنَّسْرِينَ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ غَادِيًا أَوْ رَائِحًا
[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it was narrated that he said, "From whom are you?" We said, "From the people of Iraq." He said, "Indeed, you, O people of Iraq, tell lies, are lied to, and mock others." I said, "No, by Allah, we do not lie to you, nor do we lie about you, nor do we mock you." He said, "Verily, the people of Qantura and Karkiy do not leave until they tie their horses to the date palm trees of 'Ayla. What is the distance between them and Basra?" We said, "Four Farsakhs." He said, "They will send a third to them, a third to Kufa, and a third to the Bedouins. Then they will send to the people of Kufa, 'Leave us and them.' A third will join them, a third will join the Bedouins, and a third will join Shaam (Greater Syria)." We said, "What is the sign of that?" He said, "When the authority of children is established on the earth."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَوَيْتَ الْكُتُبَ فَقَالَ «مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟» قَالَ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ تَكْذِبُونَ وَتُكَذِّبُونَ وَتَسْخَرُونَ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نُكَذِّبُكَ وَلَا نَكْذِبُ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ بَنِي قَنْطُورَاءَ وَكُرْكِيٍّ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى يَرْبِطُوا خُيُولَهُمْ بِنَخْلِ الَأَيْلَةِ كَمْ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْبَصْرَةِ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا أَرْبَعُ فَرَاسِخَ قَالَ فَيَبْعَثُونَ أَنْ خَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا قَالَ «فَيَلْحَقُ ثُلُثٌ بِهِمْ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْأَعْرَابِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْ خَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا فَيَلْحَقُ ثُلُثٌ بِهِمْ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْأَعْرَابِ وَثُلُثٌ بِالشَّامِ» قَالَ فَقُلْنَا مَا أَمَارَةُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا طَبَّقَتِ الْأَرْضَ إِمَارَةُ الصِّبْيَانِ»
[Machine] "He used to say in every gathering God judges with justice, blessed is His name! Those who doubt will be destroyed. Indeed, there will be trials after you, where wealth will increase and the Quran will be opened. It will be taken by men, women, free people, slaves, young, and old. So the man will soon read the Quran and say, 'I have read the Quran, why don't people follow me?' Then he will say, 'They are not my followers until I introduce something new for them, but beware of what I introduce, because what I introduce is misguidance.' Fear the misleading of the wise. Indeed, Satan would cast misguidance upon the wise and truth upon the hypocrite. We asked, 'What do you say about the mercy of God?' He replied, 'Be cautious of every ambiguous speech of the wise, when you hear it, you say, 'What is this?' That will not inform you about him, for he may reconsider and cast truth. So listen to it, as truth has light.'"

[Machine] He is called "Dhu al-'Arf" and he gathers a great assembly from the tribes of polytheists. People in Al-Andalus know that they are powerless, so the people of strength flee from the Muslims in ships and sail to Tangier. The weak remain with their group, as they have no ships to sail on. Then Allah sends a sign and a whale appears in the sea, with its back visible above the water. People see it and say, "Follow the whale, follow the whale." So the people follow its trail, and then the sea returns to its normal state. The enemy then crosses in their boats. When the people of Africa realize this, they all flee from Africa, including those who were in Al-Andalus from the Muslims, until they reach Fustat. The enemy advances, and they descend between Mariut and the Pyramids, a journey of five days, and they fill that area with evil. The flag of the Muslims appears on the bridge, and Allah grants them victory over them. They defeat and kill them until Ululba is reached, a journey of ten nights. The people of Fustat become frightened and quickly retreat, taking their possessions and supplies for seven years. Dhu al-'Arf manages to escape from being killed, and he has a book that is only looked at when he is defeated. It mentions Islam and that one should enter into peace agreements. He asks for safety for himself and for those who respond to him by embracing Islam, including his companions who joined him. So he embraces Islam and becomes one of the Muslims. Then in the second year, a man from Abyssinia named "Asis" appears, having gathered a great army. The Muslims flee from them from Aswan until there is no one left in it, nor in any place close to it, except in Fustat. Asis descends with his army, coming to Fustat while he is at the head of a group from there. The flag of the Muslims appears on the bridge, and Allah grants them victory over them. They kill and capture them until Aswad is sold with a cloak.

[Machine] "O Abu Abdurrahman, when will I be misled while I am knowledgeable?" He said, "When you have leaders upon you, if you obey them, they will lead you to the fire, and if you disobey them, they will kill you." And this is a correct and authenticated statement, and they did not exclude it.

[Machine] Indeed, there are three fortresses. The fortress of the people on the day of the battles is in Damascus. The fortress of the people on the day of the deceivers is the River of Abu Qatras, running among the people who say the Al-Aqsa Mosque is their fortress on the day of Yajuj and Majuj in the mountains of Sinai, interrupted.

So, I sat with him while the workers were working. Marwan said, 'Build strongly, have high hopes, and expect death soon.' Marwan said to Abu Hurayrah, 'What do you say to the workers, Abu Hurayrah?' He replied, 'I said to them, "Build strongly, have high hopes, and expect death soon, O people of Quraysh. Remember how you were yesterday and how you have become today, serving your enemies, the Persians and the Romans. You eat bread made from bran and fat meat. You do not eat your own meat and you cannot even compete with each other. Today you are small, but tomorrow you will be great. I swear by Allah, no one among you can elevate his status except that Allah will lower him on the Day of Resurrection."'

"Three will fight one another for your treasure, each one of them the son of a caliph, but none of them will gain it. Then the black banners will come from the east, and they will kill you in an unprecedented manner." Then he mentioned something that I do not remember, then he said: "When you see them, then pledge your allegiance to them even if you have to crawl over the snow, for that is the caliph of Allah, Mahdi."

[Machine] "We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he came out to us with a joyful expression on his face. We asked him about something, and he informed us about it. And we did not keep silent except that he initiated a conversation until a group of young boys from the Banu Hashim passed by. Among them were Hasan and Husayn. When he saw them, he held them close and his eyes became teary. We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we always see something on your face that we dislike.' He said, 'We are the people of the household whom Allah has chosen for the hereafter over the worldly life. And indeed, my household will face expulsion and displacement after me in various lands until black banners rise from the East. They will seek the truth but will not be given it. Then they will ask for it again but will not be given it. Then they will ask for it once more but will not be given it. So they will fight and will be supported. Whoever among you or from your offspring reaches that time, he should go to the Imam of my household, even if crawling over ice. For indeed, they are the banners of guidance, and they will deliver them to a man from my household who bears my name and his father's name is my father's name. He will bring justice to the Earth, filling it with justice and fairness just as it was filled with oppression and tyranny." This is the subject.
أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مُسْتَبْشِرًا يُعْرَفُ السُّرُورُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَمَا سَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ وَلَا سَكَتْنَا إِلَّا ابْتَدَأَنَا حَتَّى مَرَّتْ فِتْيَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فِيهِمُ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ الْتَزَمَهُمْ وَانْهَمَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا نَزَالُ نَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ شَيْئًا نَكْرَهُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَنَا الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّهُ سَيَلْقَى أَهْلُ بَيْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي تَطْرِيدًا وَتَشْرِيدًا فِي الْبِلَادِ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَيَسْأَلُونَ الْحَقَّ فَلَا يُعْطَوْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَلَا يُعْطَوْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُونَهُ فَلَا يُعْطَوْنَهُ فَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَيُنْصَرُونَ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِ إِمَامَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ فَإِنَّهَا رَايَاتُ هُدًى يَدْفَعُونَهَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أَبِي فَيَمْلِكُ الْأَرْضَ فَيَمْلَأُهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا» هذا موضوع
[Machine] "Are you afflicted by Fitnah, throwing you into chaos? Are you afflicted by the dark Black Fitnah? Surely, Fitnah has points of halts and stops, so whoever among you is able to die during its halts, let him do so."
«أَتَتْكُمُ الْفِتْنَةُ تَرْمِي بِالرَّضَفِ أَتَتْكُمُ الْفِتْنَةُ السَّوْدَاءُ الْمُظْلِمَةُ إِنَّ لِلْفِتْنَةِ وَقَفَاتٌ وَنَقَفَاتٌ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فِي وَقَفَاتِهَا فَلْيَفْعَلْ»
[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text into English is: "From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: 'There will be a trial where they will fight over it based on the ignorance of the pre-Islamic era, and they will kill each other in the fire.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ يَقْتَتِلُونَ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى دَعْوَى جَاهِلِيَّةٍ قَتْلَاهَا فِي النَّارِ»
[Machine] "O people, a trial has encompassed you, like the darkness of a moonless night. Indeed, the best among you in it, or he who takes shelter from it, is the one who grazes his sheep or a man who holds onto the reins of his horse, eating from his sword."
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَظَلَّتْكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ إِنَّمَا خَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا أَوْ قَالَ مِنْهَا صَاحِبُ شَاءٍ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ رَسَلِ غَنَمِهِ أَوْ رَجُلٌ وَرَاءَ الدَّرْبِ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ سَيْفِهِ
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "In the end of time, a severe affliction will descend upon my Ummah (nation). It will be a severe trial from their rulers, unlike any other trial ever heard of. The vast earth will become constricted for them, and the earth will be filled with injustice and oppression, to the extent that no believer will find a refuge from the injustice. Allah, the Almighty and Glorious, will then send a man from my progeny, who will fill the earth with justice and fairness, just as it was filled with oppression and injustice. His presence will please the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth. The earth will not withhold any of its produce, and the heavens will not withhold any of its rain. Allah will pour it down in abundance upon them, and they will live in such prosperity for seven, eight or nine years. The living will wish for the dead to experience what Allah has blessed the people of the earth with, due to its goodness."
نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَنْزِلُ بِأُمَّتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ بَلَاءٌ شَدِيدٌ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِمْ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ بَلَاءٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَضِيقَ عَنْهُمُ الْأَرْضُ الرَّحْبَةُ وَحَتَّى يُمْلَأَ الْأَرْضُ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا لَا يَجِدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَلْجَأً يَلْتَجِئُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ فَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ ﷻ رَجُلًا مِنْ عِتْرَتِي فَيَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا يَرْضَى عَنْهُ سَاكِنُ السَّمَاءِ وَسَاكِنُ الْأَرْضِ لَا تَدَّخِرُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ بَذْرِهَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَخْرَجَتْهُ وَلَا السَّمَاءُ مِنْ قَطْرِهَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا صَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَارًا يَعِيشُ فِيهَا سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ أَوْ تِسْعَ تَتَمَنَّى الْأَحْيَاءُ الْأَمْوَاتَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ ﷻ بِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ خَيْرِهِ»
“There will come to the people years of treachery, when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4036)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ سَنَوَاتٌ جَدِعَاتٌ يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ وَيَنْطِقُ فِيهِمُ الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ؟ قَالَ «الرَّجُلُ التَّافِهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَامَّةِ»
[Machine] It is a temptation in which wealth increases and the Quran is recited, so that the believer, the hypocrite, the young, the old, the man, and the woman all recite it. A man recites it secretly, and does not disclose it, saying, "By Allah, I will recite it openly," and then he recites it openly, but he does not adhere to it. He says, "I will build a mosque," and he invents speech that is not in the Book of Allah nor in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So beware of him and beware of imitating him, for every innovation is a deviation. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ يَكْثُرُ فِيهَا الْمَالُ وَيُفْتَحُ فِيهَا الْقُرْآنُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ وَالْمُنَافِقُ وَالصَّغِيرُ وَالْكَبِيرُ وَالرَّجُلُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ يَقْرَأُهُ الرَّجُلُ سِرًّا فَلَا يُتَّبَعُ عَلَيْهَا فَيَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَقْرَأَنَّهُ عَلَانِيَةً ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُهُ عَلَانِيَةً فَلَا يُتَّبَعُ عَلَيْهَا فَيَتَّخِذُ مَسْجِدًا وَيَبْتَدِعُ كَلَامًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَا مِنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا ابْتَدَعَ ضَلَالَةٌ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
When we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he talked about periods of trial (fitnahs), mentioning many of them. When he mentioned the one when people should stay in their houses, some asked him: Messenger of Allah, what is the trial (fitnah) of staying at home? He replied: It will be flight and plunder. Then will come a test which is pleasant. Its murkiness is due to the fact that it is produced by a man from the people of my house, who will assert that he belongs to me, whereas he does not, for my friends are only the God-fearing. Then the people will unite under a man who will be like a hip-bone on a rib. Then there will be the little black trial which will leave none of this community without giving him a slap, and when people say that it is finished, it will be extended. During it a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, so that the people will be in two camps: the camp of faith which will contain no hypocrisy, and the camp of hypocrisy which will contain no faith. When that happens, expect the Antichrist (Dajjal) that day or the next. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4242)
سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْفِتَنَ وَأَكْثَرَ فِي ذِكْرِهَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ فِتْنَةَ الْأَحْلَاسِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ وَمَا فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ؟ قَالَ هِيَ فِتْنَةَ هَرَبٍ وَحَرْبٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّى أَوِ السَّرَّاءِ ثُمَّ يَصْطَلِحُ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَوَرِكٍ عَلَى ضِلَعٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ الدَّهْمَاءِ لَا تَدَعُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لَطَمَتْهُ لَطْمَةً فَإِذَا قِيلَ انْقَطَعَتْ تَمَادَتْ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا حَتَّى يَصِيرَ النَّاسُ إِلَى فُسْطَاطَيْنِ فُسْطَاطِ إِيمَانٍ لَا نِفَاقَ فِيهِ وَفُسْطَاطِ نِفَاقٍ لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَاكُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ غَدٍ
"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! The Hour will not be established until predators speak to people and until the tip of a man's whip and the straps on his sandal speak to him, and his thigh informs him of what occurred with his family after him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2181)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُكَلِّمَ السِّبَاعُ الْإِنْسَانَ وَحَتَّى تُكَلِّمَ الرَّجُلَ عَذْبَةُ سَوْطِهِ وَشِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ وَتُخْبِرُهُ بِمَا أَحْدَثَ أَهْلُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ»
