[Machine] "You will remain in goodness as long as you do not have rulers who do not see your rights except when they want."  

«لَا تَزَالُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ لَا يَرَوْنَ لَكُمْ حَقًّا إِلَّا إِذَا شَاءُوا»  

If you live for a time, you would certainly see people get up (in the morning) in the wrath of Allah and getting into the evening under the curse of Allah, and there would be in their hands (whips) like the tail of an ox. (Using translation from Muslim 2857b)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ مُدَّةٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَرَى قَوْمًا يَغْدُونَ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَيَرُوحُونَ فِي لَعَنْتِهِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِثْلُ أَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying in his sermon, "O people, you will soon come to know the people of Paradise from the people of the Fire, or he said, the best of you from the worst of you." A man from the people asked, "How, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "By good and bad praise. You are witnesses for one another."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَوْ قَالَ خِيَارَكُمْ مِنْ شِرَارِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «بِالثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ وَالثَّنَاءِ السَّيِّئِ أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be men in the later part of this nation who will ride on saddles of bones until they reach the doors of their mosques. Their women will be clothed yet naked, with their heads like the humps of camels. Curse them for they are cursed! If there were a nation that came after you, they would serve them as the women of the previous nations served you." So, I asked my father, "What are the saddles of bones?" He said, "They are the means of transportation made of bones."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ رِجَالٌ يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى الْمَيَاثِرِ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا أَبْوَابَ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ نِسَاؤُهُمْ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْعِجَافِ الْعَنُوهُنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مَلْعُونَاتٌ لَوْ كَانَتْ وَرَاءَكُمْ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَخَدَمَهُمْ كَمَا خَدَمَكُمْ نِسَاءُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَمَا الْمَيَاثِرُ؟ قَالَ «سُرُوجًا عِظَامًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "In this Ummah (nation), in the end of time, there will emerge men with whips resembling the tails of cows. They will arise in the anger of Allah and depart in His wrath."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَخْرُجُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ رِجَالٌ مَعَهُمْ أَسْيَاطٌ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْبَقَرِ يَغْدُونَ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَيَرُوحُونَ فِي غَضَبِهِ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, a man may leave his house with his religion, but he returns without possessing anything from it. Another man comes to him who does not bring him any harm or benefit. He swears by Allah that you have granted him what you have not given. He returns with nothing of his need, although Allah becomes angry with him."  

«إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ وَمَعَهُ دِينُهُ فَيَرْجِعُ وَمَا مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْهُ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلَ لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُ وَلَا لِنَفْسِهِ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا فَيُقْسِمُ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَذَيْتَ وَذَيْتَ فَيَرْجِعُ مَا خَلَّى مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَقَدْ أَسْخَطَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One who sent me with the truth, this world will not come to an end until there occurs among them sinking, disfigurement, and pelting." They asked, "When is that, O Prophet of Allah?" He replied, "When you see women riding on saddles, and singing girls becoming prevalent, and false testimonies being accepted, and Muslims drinking alcohol in the vessels of the people of polytheism made of gold and silver, and men becoming content with men, and women becoming content with women, then seek forgiveness and prepare yourselves." And he said so while covering his face with his hand.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَا تَنْقَضِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَقَعَ بِهُمُ الْخَسْفُ وَالْمَسْخُ وَالْقَذْفُ» قَالُوا وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي؟ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ قَدْ رَكِبْنَ السُّرُوجَ وَكَثُرَتِ الْقَيْنَاتُ وَشُهِدَ شَهَادَاتُ الزُّورِ وَشَرِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي آنِيَةِ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَاسْتَغْنَى الرِّجَالُ بِالرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءُ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَاسْتَدْفِرُوا وَاسْتَعِدُّوا» وَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ وَسَتَرَ وَجْهَهُسليمان هو اليمامي ضعفوه والخبر منكر  

[Machine] In this nation, there are five trials. The first is a general trial, then a specific trial, followed by another general trial, and then another specific trial. Eventually, there will come a trial that is blind, deaf, and dumb, in which people become like animals.  

جُعِلَتْ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَمْسُ فِتَنٍ فِتْنَةٌ عَامَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ خَاصَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ عَامَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ خَاصَّةٌ ثُمَّ تَأْتِي الْفِتْنَةُ الْعَمْيَاءُ الصَّمَّاءُ الْمُطْبِقَةُ الَّتِي تَصِيرُ النَّاسُ فِيهَا كَالْأَنْعَامِ  

[Machine] "I approached Hudhayfah and Ibn Mas'ud while they were talking in the mosque. They mentioned the tribulation, and Ibn Mas'ud said, 'I have never seen a time where bloodshed did not occur in it. A person can wake up as a believer and go to bed as a disbeliever, or wake up as a disbeliever and go to bed as a believer. He fights in the tribulation today, and Allah kills him tomorrow, and he dies as a hypocrite before that. So, be prepared!' Hudhayfah said, 'You have spoken the truth. This is exactly what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us about regarding the tribulation.'"  

دَفَعْتُ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَذَكَرُوا الْفِتْنَةَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى تَرْتَدَّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهَا لَمْ يُهَرَاقَ فِيهَا مِحْجَمَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُصْبِحُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ الْيَوْمَ وَيَقْتُلُهُ اللَّهُ غَدًا يَنْكُسُ قَبْلَهُ فَتَعْلُوا اسْتُهُ» فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ صَدَقْتَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon people when a person will have to choose between helplessness and immorality. So, whoever witnesses that time, let him choose helplessness over immorality."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يُخَيَّرُ فِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْفُجُورِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَلْيَخْتَرِ الْعَجْزَ عَلَى الْفُجُورِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon the people in which a person will have to choose between weakness and indecency. So whoever among you reaches that time, should choose weakness over indecency."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يُخَيَّرُ فِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْفُجُورِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْكُمْ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَلْيَخْتَرِ الْعَجْزَ عَلَى الْفُجُورِ»  

"Rush to do good deeds. A Fitnah will occur that is like a portion of the dark night, morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning. One of them will sell his religion for goods of the world." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2195)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيُغْشِيَنَّ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ»  

"Before the Hour there shall be Fitan like a portion of the dark night. Morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning, people will sell their religion for goods of the world." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2197)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

ʿUmar bin al-Khattab gave a speech and said: O people, we used to know you when the Prophet ﷺ was among us and revelation was coming down to him; Allah would tell us about you. But now the Prophet ﷺ has passed away and revelation has ceased, and now the way to judge you is this whoever among you shows us good conduct, we will think well of him and love him; whoever among you shows us bad conduct, we will think badly of him and hate him for that, and whatever is in your hearts is between you and your Lord. There was a time when I used to think that whoever learned the Qurʿan, seeking thereby Allah and (the reward that) is with Him, would be rewarded in the Hereafter, but some men learned Qurʿan seeking that which is with people. So seek Allah by learning Qurʿan and by your good deeds. By Allah, I do not send my workers to strike you or seize your wealth; rather I send them to you to teach you your religion and Sunnah, whoever has done to him something other than that, let him refer it to me, for by the One in Whose hand is my soul, I shall surely grant him retaliation. ʿAmr bin al-ʿAs stood up and said: O Ameer al Muʿmineen, do you think if one of the Muslims was in charge of some people and he disciplined one of them, would you allow that one to settle the score with him? He said: Yes, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of ʿUmar, I would not certainly allow him to settle the score with him. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do that with regard to himself. But do not strike the Muslims and thus humiliate them, and do not keep them away from their wives on campaign for too long and thus expose them to temptation. Do not withhold from them their due rights and cause them to rebel; and do not make them camp in an area with a lot of trees, because that will cause them to be scattered. It was narrated that ‘Abul-ʿAjfaʿ as-Sulami said: I heard ‘Umar say: Do not make womenʿs dowries expensive,... and he mentioned the same hadeeth. (Using translation from Aḥmad 286)   

عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ «أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُكُمْ إِذْ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذْ يَنْزِلُ الْوَحْيُ وَإِذْ بَيْنَنَا مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ أَلَا وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِ انْطَلَقَ وَرُفِعَ الْوَحْيُ وَإِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُكُمْ بِمَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَلَا وَمَنْ يُظْهِرُ مِنْكُمْ خَيْرًا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ خَيْرًا وَأَحْبَبْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ يُظْهِرُ مِنْكُمْ شَرًّا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ شَرًّا وَأَبْغَضْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ سَرَائِرُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ أَلَا وَقَدْ أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَأَنَا أَحْسَبُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَمَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَقَدْ خُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ بِآخِرَهِ أَنَّ قَوْمًا يَقْرَأُونَهُ يُرِيدُونَ مَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ أَلَا فَأَرِيدُوا مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بِقِرَاءَتِكُمْ وَبِعَمَلِكُمْ أَلَا وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْعَثُ عُمَّالِي لِيَضْرِبُوا أَبْشَارَكُمْ وَيَأْخُذُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَبْعَثُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَسُنَنَكُمْ وَيَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ وَيَقْسِمُوا فِيكُمْ فَيْئَكُمْ أَلَا مَنْ فُعِلَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيُرَافِعُهُ إِلَيَّ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عُمَرَ بِيَدِهِ لَأَقُصَّهُ مِنْهُ» فَوَثَبَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانَ عَلَى رَعِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّبَ بَعْضَ رَعِيَّتِهِ إِنَّكَ لَمُقِصُّهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ «وَمَا لِي لَا أَقُصُّهُ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُصُّ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَلَا لَا تَضْرِبُوهُمْ فَتُذِلُّوهُمْ وَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَتُكَفِّرُوهُمْ وَلَا تُجْبِرُوهُمْ فَتَفْتِنُوهُمْ وَلَا تُنْزِلُوهُمُ الْغِيَاضَ فَتُضَيِّعُوهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe unto the Arabs from the evil that is approaching! If you can (prepare yourselves)."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

[Machine] "The Fitna (strife) erupted, and the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were ten thousand, out of whom only forty were not afraid. Two hundred and forty-four men stood with Ali, among them Abu Ayyub, Sahl ibn Hunayf, and Ammar ibn Yasir, who were all from the people of Badr."  

«ثَارَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ لَمْ يَخْفَ فِيهَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا وَقَفَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ مِائَتَانِ وَبِضْعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say, "Matters only grow in intensity, wealth only increases in abundance, and the Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established except on the worst among His creatures."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزْدَادُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا الْمَالُ إِلَّا إِفَاضَةً وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Before you there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening. He who sits during them will be better than he who gets up, and he who gets up during them is better than he who walks, and he who walks during them is better than he who runs. They (the people) said: What do you order us to do? He replied: Keep to your houses. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4262)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي إِلَيْهَا» قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «كُونُوا أَحْلَاسَ بُيُوتِكُمْ»  

There would soon be turmoil. Behold! there would be turmoil in which the one who would be seated would be better than one who would stand and the one who would stand would be better than one who would run. Behold! when the turmoil comes or it appears, the one who has camel should stick to his camel and he who has sheep or goat should stick to his sheep and goat and he who has land should stick to the land. A person said: 'Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion about one who has neither camel nor sheep nor land? Thereupon, he said: He should take hold of his sword and beat its edge with the help of stone and then try to find a way of escape. O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message). A person said: Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion if I am drawn to a rank in spite of myself, or in one of the groups and made to march and a man strikes with his sword or there comes an arrow and kills me? Thereupon he said: He will bear the punishment of his sin and that of yours and he would be one amongst the denizens of Hell. (Using translation from Muslim 2887a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي إِلَيْهَا فَإِذَا نَزَلَتْ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ غَنْمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ وَلَا غَنْمٌ وَلَا أَرْضٌ؟ قَالَ «فَلْيَأْخُذْ حَجَرًا فَلْيَدُقَّ بِهِ عَلَى حَدِّ سَيْفِهِ ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ» ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُكْرِهْتُ حَتَّى يُنْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ أَوْ إِلَى أَحَدِ الْفِئَتَيْنِ فَيَرْمِينِي رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ أَوْ يَضْرِبُنِي بِسَيْفٍ فَيَقْتُلُنِي قَالَ «يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ فَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًاصحيح  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, there will be a trial in which 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 runs, and the one who runs is better than the one who rides, and the one who rides is better than the one who stays still." This hadith is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, and it has not been mentioned by them. This has become a major topic, and they have not mentioned it. Only Abu Dawud, one of the scholars of this knowledge, has mentioned it according to the conditions of Muslim.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي وَالسَّاعِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ وَالرَّاكِبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُوضِعِ» وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ قَدْ صَارَ هَذَا بَابٌ كَبِيرٌ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَحَدُ أَئِمَّةِ هَذَا الْعِلْمِ على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Affairs do not increase except in severity, and religion does not retreat except in defeat. And people will not become anything but greedy, and the Hour will not come except upon the worst of people. And there will be no Mahdi except Jesus son of Mary." Saamit ibn Mu'adh said, "I traveled to Al-Jannad, which is a two-day journey from Sana'a, and I visited a group of narrators. I asked them about this hadith, and I found it with Muhammad ibn Khalid Al-Jannadi from Abaan ibn Abi Ayyash from Al-Hasan from the Prophet ﷺ , with a similar wording. Some parts of this content have also been narrated by Abd al-Aziz ibn Suhayb from Anas ibn Malik from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزْدَادُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا الدِّينُ إِلَّا إِدْبَارًا وَلَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا شُحًّا وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ وَلَا مَهْدِيَّ إِلَّا عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ» قَالَ صَامِتُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى الْجَنَدِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَدِّثٍ لَهُمْ فَطَلَبْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجَنَدِيُّ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بَعْضُ هَذَا الْمَتْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[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  

[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»  

[Machine] "He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The Hour will not be established until a fire comes out of the land of Hijaz, which will illuminate the necks of camels in Busra.' Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ نَارٌ بِأَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ تُضِيءُ مِنْهَا أَعْنَاقُ الْإِبِلِ بِبُصْرَى» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I do not fight until they come to me with a sword that has two eyes, a tongue, and lips, recognizing the disbeliever from the believer. I have strived and I know what Jihad is, and I do not prevail by myself if there is a man better than me."  

«لَا أُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى يَأْتُونِي بِسَيْفٍ لَهُ عَيْنَانِ وَلِسَانٌ وَشَفَتَانِ يَعْرِفُ الْكَافِرَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ قَدْ جَاهَدْتُ وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ الْجِهَادَ وَلَا أَنْجَعُ بِنَفْسِي إِنْ كَانَ رَجُلًا خَيْرًا مِنِّي»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, "The Ummah (Muslim nation) will continue to be on the right path as long as three things do not occur: the knowledge is not lost among them, the offspring of evil do not increase among them, and the Qassarun do not emerge among them." They asked, "Who are the Qassarun, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "They are people who will appear near the end of time, and their greeting to each other will be cursing."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَزَالُ الْأُمَّةُ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مَا لَمْ تَظْهَرْ فِيهِمْ ثَلَاثٌ مَا لَمْ يُقْبَضْ مِنْهُمُ الْعِلْمُ وَيَكْثُرُ فِيهِمْ وَلَدُ الْخَبَثِ وَيَظْهَرُ فِيهِمُ السَّقَّارُونَ قَالُوا وَمَا السَّقَّارُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «بَشَرٌ يَكُونُونَ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ تَكُونُ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا تَلَاقَوِا التَّلَاعُنُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: This people of mine is one to which mercy is shown. It will have no punishment in the next world, but its punishment in this world will be trials, earthquakes and being killed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4278)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمَّتِي أُمَّةٌ مَرْحُومَةٌ لَا عَذَابَ عَلَيْهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَذَابَهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا الْقَتْلَ وَالزَّلَازِلَ وَالْفِتَنَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Lightning strikes will increase as the Hour approaches. The people will wake up and say, 'So-and-so was struck yesterday,' and they will say, 'So-and-so has been struck.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَكْثُرُ الصَّوَاعِقُ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِ السَّاعَةِ فَيُصْبِحُ الْقَوْمُ فَيَقُولُونَ مِنْ صُعِقَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَيَقُولُونَ صُعِقَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ»  

[Machine] It was said: "O Abu Abdullah, what do you command us to do when the worshippers are being killed?" He said: "I command you to look for the farthest house from your location and take refuge in it. If the enemy enters upon you, you say: 'Oh no, this sin is mine and yours,' and you will be like the son of Adam."  

قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا اقْتَتَلَ الْمُصَلُّونَ؟ قَالَ آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ أَقْصَى بَيْتٍ مِنْ دَارِكَ فَتَلِجُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْكَ فَتَقُولُ هَا بُؤْ بِإِثْمِي وَإِثْمِكَ فَتَكُونُ كَابْنِ آدَمَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour will not come until sections of the Arabs are swallowed up, and it will be said, 'Who is left from the tribe of so and so?'” He said, "So I knew when he said 'sections' that he was referring to the Arabs, because non-Arabs are ascribed to their villages."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُخْسَفَ بِقَبَائِلَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَيُقَالُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ قَالَ «فَعَرَفْتُ حِينَ قَالَ قَبَائِلَ أَنَّهَا الْعَرَبُ لِأَنَّ الْعَجَمَ تُنْسَبُ إِلَى قُرَاهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In my ummah there will be disasters, transformations, and throwing." If Abu Zubayr heard from Abdullah bin Umar, then it is authentic according to the condition of Muslim, and they did not exclude it according to the condition of Muslim.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِي أُمَّتِي خَسْفٌ وَمَسْخٌ وَقَذْفٌ» إِنْ كَانَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ سَمِعَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَإِنَّهُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] It is as if I am a traveler who has arrived among you, in a situation between orphans and widows, and between what Allah has bestowed upon their fathers. So the wealth says to us...  

كَأَنِّي بِرَاكِبٍ قَدْ نَزَلَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ حَالَ بَيْنَ الْيَتَامَى وَالْأَرَامِلِ وَبَيْنَ مَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى آبَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ الْمَالُ لَنَا  

[Machine] The prayer was performed, so he stood up and we stood up with him. We entered the mosque and saw people in Rukoo' (bowing). He recited the Takbeer (saying "Allahu Akbar"), performed Rukoo' and walked. We did the same as he did. Then, a man hurriedly passed by and said, "Peace be upon you, O Abu Abdur Rahman." He replied, "May Allah make it true, and may His Messenger ﷺ convey it." After we finished praying, he returned home and his family entered. We sat in our places waiting for him until he came out. Some of us said to each other, "Who will ask him?" Tariq said, "I will ask him." So Tariq asked him and he replied, "The man gave you the Salutation and you returned it, 'May Allah make it true, and may His Messenger ﷺ convey it.'" Abdullah said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Before the Hour comes, there will be private greetings and widespread trade, until a woman will help her husband in business and a man will take his wealth to the corners of the earth and return saying, 'I have not gained anything.'" At this point, Ath-Thahabi remained silent in his summarization.  

قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ رُكُوعًا فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ وَمَشَى وَفَعَلْنَا مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ قَالَ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُسْرِعٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ ﷺ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْنَا رَجَعَ فَوَلَجَ أَهْلَهُ وَجَلَسْنَا فِي مَكَانِهِ نَنْتَظِرُهُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ أَيُّكُمْ يَسْأَلُهُ؟ قَالَ طَارِقٌ أَنَا أَسْأَلُهُ فَسَأَلَهُ طَارِقٌ فَقَالَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ الرَّجُلُ فَرَدَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَبَلَّغَ رَسُولُهُ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ تَسْلِيمَ الْخَاصَّةِ وَفُشُوَّ التِّجَارَةِ حَتَّى تُعِينَ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى التِّجَارَةِ وَحَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الرَّجُلُ بِمَالِهِ إِلَى أَطْرَافِ الْأَرْضِ فَيَرْجِعُ فَيَقُولُ لَمْ أَرْبَحْ شَيْئًا سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I entered the mosque with Abdullah one day, and we found the people in the state of bowing in prayer. A man passed by and greeted us, saying, 'May Allah and His Messenger be truthful.' I asked him about this, and he said, 'The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not come until the mosques are used as roads, and a person greets another person based on their acquaintance, and women and their husbands engage in trade openly, and horses and women become widespread, and then they will commit wrongdoings until the Day of Resurrection.'"  

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَوْمًا الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا الْقَوْمُ رُكُوعٌ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُتَّخَذَ الْمَسَاجِدُ طُرُقًا وَحَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَحَتَّى تَتْجَرَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَزَوْجُهَا وَحَتَّى تَغْلُو الْخَيْلُ وَالنِّسَاءُ ثُمَّ تَرْخُصَ فَلَا تَغْلُو إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of people in times of trials is a man who holds onto the reins of his horse or camel, or he said, holds onto the knot of his horse's bridle, and goes behind the enemies of Allah, frightening them and being frightened by them. Or a man who isolates himself in a desert, fulfilling the rights of Allah the Exalted, which are on him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِي الْفِتَنِ رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ أَوْ قَالَ بِرَسَنِ فَرَسِهِ خَلْفَ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ يُخِيفُهُمْ وَيُخِيفُونَهُ أَوْ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي بَادِيَتِهِ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The (system) of night and day would not end until the people have taken to the worship of Lat and 'Uzza. I said: Messenger of Allah, I think when Allah has revealed this verse:" He it is Who has sent His Messenger with right guidance, and true religion, so that He may cause it to prevail upon all religions, though the polytheists are averse (to it)" (ix. 33), it implies that (this promise) is going to be fulfilled. Thereupon he (Allah's Apostle) said: It would happen as Allah would like. Then Allah would send the sweet fragrant air by which everyone who has even a mustard grain of faith in Him would die and those only would survive who would have no goodness in them. And they would revert to the religion of their forefathers. (Using translation from Muslim 2907a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَذْهَبُ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ حَتَّى تُعْبَدَ اللَّاتُ وَالْعُزَّى» فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ} [التوبة 33] أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يَكُونُ تَامًّا فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبًا فَيُتَوَفَّى مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَيَبْقَى مَنْ لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى دَيْنِ آبَائِهِمْ»  

[Machine] My family, when they enjoyed their dinner and settled down to sleep, woke up to find themselves dead on their beds. It was said, "O father of so-and-so, are you not rich?" He replied, "Yes, but I heard Abu Dhar saying that soon, my nephew, if you live long enough, you will see a man being envied for his comfortable situation, just like today people envy a rich man. And soon, if you live long enough, you will see a man whom the Sultan does not recognize, does not bring closer, and does not honor, being envied, just like today the Sultan recognizes him, brings him closer, and honors him." And soon, my nephew, if you live long enough, you will see a funeral passing through the market, and the man will raise his head and say, "I wish I were in their place." I asked, "Do you know what will happen to them?" He replied, "According to what they used to do." I said, "Indeed, that is in the presence of a great matter." He said, "Yes, indeed, a great, great, great matter."  

أَنَّ أَهْلِي حِينَ تَعَشَّوْا عَشَاءَهُمْ وَاغْتَبَقُوا غَبُوقَهُمْ أَصْبَحُوا مَوْتَى عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ قِيلَ يَا أَبَا فُلَانٍ أَلَسْتَ عَلَى غِنًى؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ يُوشِكُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنْ عِشْتَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ أَنْ تَرَى الرَّجُلَ يُغْبَطَ بِخِفَّةِ الْحَالِ كَمَا يُغْبَطُ الْيَوْمَ أَبُو الْعَشَرَةِ الرِّجَالِ وَيُوشِكُ إِنْ عِشْتَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ أَنْ تَرَى الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي لَا يَعْرِفُهُ السُّلْطَانُ وَلَا يُدْنِيهُ وَلَا يُكْرِمُهُ يُغْبَطُ كَمَا يُغْبَطُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُهُ السُّلْطَانُ وَيُدْنِيهِ وَيُكْرِمُهُ وَيُوشِكُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنْ عِشْتَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بِالْجَنَازَةِ فِي السُّوقِ فَيَرْفَعُ الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي عَلَى أَعْوَادِهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ تَدْرِي مَا بِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «عَلَى مَا كَانَ» قُلْتُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ قَالَ «أَجَلْ عَظِيمٌ عَظِيمٌ عَظِيمٌ»  

[Machine] I heard Salamah bin Nufayl Al-Sakooni saying: "He was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, have you brought food from the sky?' He said, 'I have been brought cooked food.' The man asked, 'Did you receive any favor because of it?' He replied, 'Yes.' The man asked, 'What was done with it?' He said, 'It was raised up to the sky while it was being revealed to me that I will not stay among you for long, and you will not stay after me for long. Rather, you will continue until you start saying: 'How long will it take?' Then, new generations will come, and some of you will kill others, and there will be severe deaths before the Day of Judgment, and after that, there will be years of earthquakes."  

سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ نُفَيْلٍ السَّكُونِيَّ يَقُولُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هَلْ أُتِيتَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ «أُتِيتُ بِطَعَامٍ مُسْخِنَةٍ» قَالَ فَهَلْ كَانَ فِيهِ فَضْلٌ عَنْكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَمَا فُعِلَ بِهِ؟ قَالَ «رُفِعَ حَتَّى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ يُوحِي إِلَيَّ أَنَّنِي غَيْرُ لَابِثٍ فِيكُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَلَسْتُمْ لَابِثِينَ بَعْدِي إِلَّا قَلِيلًا بَلْ تَلْبَثُونَ حَتَّى تَقُولُوا حَتَّى مَتَى ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ أَفْنَادًا وَيُفْنِي بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَبَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ مَوْتَانٌ شَدِيدٌ وَبَعْدَهُ سَنَوَاتُ الزَّلَازِلِ»  

[Machine] "He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The Hour will not be established upon my Ummah until some of its tribes join the disbelievers and until some of its tribes worship idols.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْهَا بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحَتَّى تَعْبُدَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْهَا الْأَوْثَانَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Beware of trials, for no one can withstand them. By Allah, no one has ever confronted a trial without being destroyed by it, just as a flood destroys a dam. It is deceptive at first, until the ignorant say, 'This is only a passing resemblance.' Then its true nature becomes clear. So when you see it, gather in your homes, break your swords, cut your bowstrings, and cover your faces."  

«إِيَّاكَ وَالْفِتَنَ لَا يَشْخَصْ لَهَا أَحَدٌ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا شَخَصَ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا نَسَفَتْهُ كَمَا يَنْسِفُ السَّيْلُ الدِّمَنَ إِنَّهَا مُشْبِهَةٌ مُقْبِلَةً حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْجَاهِلُ هَذِهِ تُشْبِهُ مُقْبِلَةً وَتَتَبَيَّنَ مُدْبِرَةً فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهَا فَاجْتَمِعُوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ وَاكْسِرُوا سُيُوفَكُمْ وَقَطِّعُوا أَوْتَارَكُمْ وَغَطُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ»  

[Machine] "The first Fitnah occurred and none of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr remained, then the second Fitnah occurred and none of those who witnessed the Incident of Hudaybiyyah remained, and I believe that if a third Fitnah were to occur, it would not be resolved, as there are many evil people among the people." Ibn al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.  

«ثَارَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الْأُولَى فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ كَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ أَحَدٌ وَأَظُنُّ لَوْ كَانَتْ فِتْنَةٌ ثَالِثَةٌ لَمْ تُرْفَعْ وَفِي النَّاسِ طَبَاخٌ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, that he said: There will be a fitnah (trial) in which the people will embrace Islam, or he said: The best of people will be those in it, the Western armies. Thus, I have come to Egypt."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ أَسْلَمُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا أَوْ قَالَ لَخَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا الْجُنْدُ الْغَرْبِيُّ «فَلِذَلِكَ قَدِمْتُ مِصْرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This religion will continue to stand, and Muslims will fight for it until the Hour is established."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A group from my ummah will remain victorious on the truth until the Day of Judgment."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Verily, My Lord expanded the earth for me until I saw its easts and wests, and He gave me the red and white treasures, and indeed my nation will reach its dominion which is expanded for me from it. I asked my Lord for my nation, not to destroy them with a general year of disaster, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to subject them to an enemy from outside of them, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to make some of them taste the punishment of others, so He prevented me from it. And He said, 'O Muhammad, if I decree a matter, it is not reversed. Indeed, I have given you for your nation that they will not be destroyed by a general year of disaster, and I will not manifest upon them an enemy other than themselves to make them permissible to each other. Even if people from all corners of the earth gathered until some of them destroy others and capture others, I do not fear for my nation except for the misleading leaders. The Hour will not be established until tribes from my nation join the polytheists and until tribes from my nation worship idols. And when the sword is unsheathed among my nation, it will never be removed from them until the Day of Resurrection.' And he claimed, 'Nothing will be taken from a man from the people of Paradise from its fruits except that Allah will replace it with something similar.' And he said, 'There is no dinar that a man spends, seeking a greater reward, than a dinar he spends on his family, then a dinar he spends on his horse in the way of Allah, then a dinar he spends on his companions in the way of Allah.' And he claimed that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ exalted this matter and when it is the Day of Resurrection, the people of ignorance will come carrying their idols on their backs, and their Lord will ask them, 'What were you worshiping?' They will say, 'Our Lord, you did not send us a messenger, nor did a command come to us. If you had sent a messenger to us, we would have obeyed you.' So their Lord will say to them, 'Did you not promise me to obey if I commanded you?' They will say, 'Yes.' So He will take their covenants concerning that and then He will order them to plunge into Hellfire and they will enter it. They will set out until when they approach it, they will see it boiling and roaring in anger, so they will become afraid and turn back to their Lord and say, 'Our Lord, turn us back from it.' So He will say, 'Did you not give me your covenants to obey me? Plunge into it.' So they will set out until when they see it, they will turn back again and say, 'Our Lord, we cannot enter it.' He will say, 'Enter it with humiliation.' So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'If they had entered it the first time, it would have been cool and peaceful for them.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَبِّي زَوَى لِيَ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَأَعْطَانِي الْكَنْزَيْنِ الْأَحْمَرَ وَالْأَبْيَضَ وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُهَا مَا زَوَى لِي مِنْهَا وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لِأُمَّتِي أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ عَامَّةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا وَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً لَمْ يُرَدَّ إِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لَا أُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ عَامَّةٍ وَلَا أُظْهِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَهُمْ بِعَامَّةٍ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعَ مَنْ بِأَقْطَارِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ هُوَ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا هُوَ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا وَإِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَلَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحَتَّى تَعْبُدَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْأَوْثَانَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ «كُلَّ مَا يُوجَدُ فِي مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَسَيَخْرُجُ فِي أُمَّتِي كَذَّابُونَ ثَلَاثُونَ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ وَأَنَا خَاتَمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَلَكِنْ لَا تَزَالُ فِي أُمَّتِي طَائِفَةٌ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ» قَالَ وَزَعَمَ «أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْزِعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهَا مِثْلَهَا»

وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَيْسَ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا مِنْ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ ثُمَّ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَظَّمَ شَأْنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَأَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ جَاءَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَحْمِلُونَ أَوْثَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُهُورِهِمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ ﷻ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا لَمْ تُرْسِلْ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا وَلَمْ يَأْتِنَا أَمْرٌ وَلَوْ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا لَكِنَّا أَطْوَعُ عِبَادِكَ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ أَتُطِيعُونِي؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَيَأْخُذُ مَوَاثِيقَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَدُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ فَيَدْخُلُونَهَا قَالَ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوهَا رَأَوْا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا فَهَابُوا فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا فَرِقْنَا مِنْهَا فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ تُعْطُونِي مَوَاثِيقَكُمْ لَتُطِيعُونِي اعْمِدُوا لَهَا فَادْخُلُوا فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْهَا فَرَقُوا فَرَجَعُوا فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نَدْخُلَهَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ ادْخُلُوهَا دَاخِرِينَ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ دَخَلُوهَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: A section of my community will continue to fight for the right and overcome their opponents till the last of them fights with the Antichrist. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2484)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ آخِرُهُمُ الدَّجَّالَ»  

[Machine] "I fear the most for you, after me, that a man among you will be taken as innocent, then he will be pointed at and his flesh will be torn apart, just like a slaughtered camel. It will be said about him that he is a disobedient person, although he is not disobedient." Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was under the pulpit, said, "When will that be, O Commander of the Faithful? And what will cause the calamity to intensify, the malice to manifest, the offspring to be enslaved, and the trials to afflict them like the pounding of grinding stones and the burning of firewood?" He said, "When the scholars become knowledgeable in everything but religion, and the teachers learn for reasons other than actions, and when people seek worldly gain through the deeds of the Hereafter." Aban said that Ahmad abandoned his speech at this point.  

«إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الْبَرِيءُ فَيُؤْشَرُ كَمَا تُؤْشَرُ الْجَزُورُ وَيُشَاطُ لَحْمُهُ كَمَا يُشَاطُ لَحْمُهَا وَيُقَالُ عَاصٍ وَلَيْسَ بِعَاصٍ» قَالَ فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ تَحْتَ الْمِنْبَرِ «وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ وَبِمَا تَشْتَدُّ الْبَلِيَّةُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْحَمِيَّةُ وَتُسْبَى الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَتَدُقُّهُمُ الْفِتَنُ كَمَا تَدُقُّ الرَّحَا ثَفَلَهَا وَكَمَا تَدُقُّ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ؟» قَالَ «وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا عَلِيُّ؟» قَالَ «إِذَا تَفَقَّهَ الْمُتَفَقِّهُ لِغَيْرِ الدِّينِ وَتَعَلَّمَ الْمُتَعَلِّمُ لِغَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ وَالْتُمِسَتِ الدُّنْيَا بِعَمَلِ الْآخِرَةِ» أبان قال أحمد تركوا حديثه
