The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us (to give us an address) and he left out nothing that would happen up to the last hour without telling of it. Some remembered it and some forgot, and these Companions of his have known it. When something of it which I have forgotten happens, I remembered it, just as a man remembers another's face when he is a away and recognizes him when he sees him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4240)   

«قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا تَرَكَ شَيْئًا يَكُونُ فِي مَقَامِهِ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا حَدَّثَ بِهِ حَفِظَهُ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ قَدْ عَلِمَهُ أَصْحَابِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُ الشَّيْءُ قَدْ نَسِيَهُ فَأَرَاهُ فَأَذْكُرُهُ كَمَا يَذْكُرُ الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا رَآهُ عَرَفَهُ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and delivered a speech, sharing with us what will happen between us and the Hour. There is something I want to say to you: when I was alone, I was not alone. There was someone with me who remembered what was said and someone who forgot what was said."  

«لَقَدْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَقَامًا فَحَدَّثَنَا مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ السَّاعَةِ مَا بِي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي كُنْتُ وَحْدِي لَقَدْ كَانَ مَعِي غَيْرِي حَفِظَ ذَاكَ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the dawn prayer and then mounted the pulpit and addressed us until it was (time for the) noon prayer. He then came down the pulpit and observed prayer and then again mounted the pulpit and again addressed us until it was time for the 'Asr prayer. He then again came down and observed the prayer and again mounted the pulpit and addressed us until the sun was set and he informed (about) everything (pertaining to turmoil) that lay hidden in the past and what lies in (the womb) of) the future and the most learned amongst us is one who remembers them well (Using translation from Muslim 2892)   

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَ حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الظُّهْرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَحَدَّثَنَا بِمَا كَانَ وَبِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ فَأَعْلَمُنَا أَحْفَظُنَا»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Your period in comparison to the periods of the previous nations, is like the period between Salat Al-'Asr until sunset. And you are in comparison to the Jews and Christians, like a man who employeed some workers and he said: 'Who will work for me until Midday for a Qirat each?' So the Jews worked for half a day for a Qirat each. Then he said: 'Who will work for me from the middle of the day until Salat Al-'Asr for a Qirat each?' So the Christians worked for a Qirat each. Then it is you who are doing the work from Salat Al-'Asr until the setting of the sun for two Qirats each. So the Jews and the Christians got angry and said: 'We did more work but were given less?' So He (Allah) says: 'Have I wronged you in any of your rights?' They said: 'No.' He says: 'Then it is my blessing that I give to whomever I wish.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2871)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا أَجَلُكُمْ فِي أَجَلِ مَنْ خَلَا مِنَ الْأُمَمِ كَمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِ الشَّمْسِ وَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى كَرَجُلٍ اسْتَعْمَلَ عُمَّالًا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ؟ قَالَ فَعَمِلَتِ الْيَهُودُ إِلَى نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ لِي مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ؟ قَالَ فَعَمِلَتِ النَّصَارَى مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَلَى قِيرَاطٍ قِيرَاطٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِ الشَّمْسِ عَلَى قِيرَاطَيْنِ قِيرَاطَيْنِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى وَقَالُوا نَحْنُ كُنَّا أَكْثَرَ عَمَلًا وَأَقَلَّ عَطَاءً قَالَ هَلْ ظَلَمْتُكُمْ مِنْ حَقِّكُمْ شَيْئًا؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ فَضْلِي أُوتِيهِ مَنْ أَشَاءُ»  

[Machine] "Abu Tayyah, Qatadah, and Hamzah Ad-Dabbii narrated that they heard Anas ibn Malik saying that the Prophet ﷺ said, 'I have been sent and the Hour is like this,' while he pointed with his two fingers. Qatadah used to say, 'As if he meant the superiority of one over the other.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ وَقَتَادَةَ وَحَمْزَةَ الضَّبِّيِّ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ هَكَذَا» وَأَشَارَ بِأُصْبَعَيْهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَقُولُ كَفَضْلِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى  

“I and the Hour have been sent like these two,” and he held up his two fingers together. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4040)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ» وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say with his index finger, which follows the thumb and middle finger, "I have been sent and the Hour (Day of Judgment) is like this."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ وَالْوُسْطَى «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ هَكَذَا»  

The Prophet said to 'Ali: "Would it not please you to be to me as Harun was to Musa?" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 115)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr arrived at Dajnan, he heard the sound of a camel named Bugham belonging to Ali. He recognized the camel and approached Ali, asking him, "What is the matter with me?" Ali replied, "It is good. Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ sent me with a letter of innocence." When we returned, Abu Bakr set off and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is my matter?" The Prophet replied, "You are my companion in the cave, except that the divine revelation does not come to anyone except me or a man from me, meaning Ali."  

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ضَجْنَانَ سَمِعَ بُغَامَ نَاقَةِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَعَرَفَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنِي؟ قَالَ خَيْرٌ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَنِي بِبَرَاءَةَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا انْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي؟ قَالَ «خَيْرٌ أَنْتَ صَاحِبِي فِي الْغَارِ * غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُبَلِّغُ غَيْرِي أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنِّي يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا »  

when the Prophet came back from the Umrah of Al-Jirranah, he sent Abu Bakr to lead the Hajj. We wnet the him until, when he was in Al-Urj, the Iqamah for Subh was said, and he stood up to say the Takbir while he heard the grunting of a camel behind him, and he did not say the Takbir. He said: "This is the grunting of the camel of the Messenger of Allah has had second thoughts about the Hajj, and may be he is here, and we will pray with him." But it was 'Ali on the camel. Abu Bakr said to him: "(Have you come) as a leader or as messenger?" He said: "No, as a messenger, sent by the Messenger of Allah with a declaration of innocence to recite it to the people in the stations of Hajj. So we came to makkah and one day before the day of At-Tarwiyah Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and addressed the people telling them about their rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then we went out with hm and on the day of Arafat. Abu Bakr stood up and addressed people, telling them about rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. Then on the day of Sacrifice, we departed (Ifadah) and when Abu Bakr came back, eh addressed the people, telling them about their departure (Ifadah), sacrifice and rituals. When he finished, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. On the first day of An-Nafr (The 12th of Dhul-Hijjah), Abu Bakr stood up and addressed the people, telling them how to offer their sacrifice and how to stone the Jamrat, and teaching them their rituals. When he had finished, "Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and recited the declaration of innocence to the people until he finished it. (Daif) Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Ibn Khuthaim is not strong in Hadith, and I only narrated this so it would not be considered to be from Ibn Juraij from Abu Az-Zubai. And we did not write it except from Ishaq bin Rahuyah bin Ibrahm. And yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan did not abandon the narrations of Ibn Khuthaim, or dod Abdur-Rahamn. However, Ali bin Al-Madini said: "Ibn Khuthaim is Munkar in Hadith," and Ali bin Al-Madini is more knowledgeable of Hadith. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2993)   

عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُمْ حِينَ رَجَعُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ عُمْرَةِ الْجِعْرَانَةِ بَعَثَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى الْحَجِّ فَأَقْبَلْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْعَرْجِ ثَوَّبَ بِالصُّبْحِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى لِلتَّكْبِيرِ سَمِعَ الرَّغْوَةَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ فَوَقَفَ عَنِ التَّكْبِيرِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ رَغْوَةُ نَاقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْجَدْعَاءِ فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمِيرٌ أَنْتَ أَمْ رَسُولٌ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ رَسُولٌ أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِبَرَاءَةَ أَقْرَؤُهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي مَوَاقِفِ الْحَجِّ فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِيَوْمٍ قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَرَأَ بِبَرَاءَةَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ مَنَاسِكَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَرَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَرَاءَةً حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ فَأَفَضْنَا فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ إِفَاضَتِهِمْ وَعَنْ نَحْرِهِمْ وَعَنْ مَنَاسِكِهِمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَرَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَرَاءَةَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ النَّفْرِ الْأَوَّلِ قَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَحَدَّثَهُمْ كَيْفَ يَنْفِرُونَ وَكَيْفَ يَرْمُونَ وَعَلَّمَهُمْ مَنَاسِكَهُمْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَرَأَ بَرَاءَةَ عَلَى النَّاسِ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا «  

[Machine] I heard Wathilah ibn Al-Asqa' saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and said, 'You assume that I am the last one of you to die, but I am actually the first one of you to die. And you will follow me as a group with some of you striking the necks of others.'"  

سَمِعْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مِنْ آخِرِكُمْ وَفَاةً إِنِّي مِنْ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَفَاةً وَتَتْبَعُونِي أَفْنَادًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ»  

When Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, intends to show mercy to an Umma from amongst His servants He calls back His Apostle to his eternal home and makes him a harbinger and recompense in the world to come; and when He intends to cause destruction to an Umma, He punishes it while its Apostle is alive and He destroys it as he (the Apostle) witnesses it and he cools his eyes by destruction as they had belied him and disobeyed his command. (Using translation from Muslim 2288)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ رَحْمَةَ أُمَّةٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ قَبَضَ نَبِيَّهَا قَبْلَهَا فَجَعَلَهُ لَهَا فَرَطًا وَسَلَفًا وَإِذَا أَرَادَ هَلَكَةَ أُمَّةٍ عَذَّبَهَا وَنَبِيُّهَا حَيٌّ فَأَقَرَّ عَيْنَهُ بِهَلَكَتِهَا حِينَ كَذَّبُوهُ وَعَصَوْا أَمْرَهُ»  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying while pointing his hands towards the east: The turmoil would appear from this side; verily, the turmoil would appear from this side (he repeated it thrice) where appear the horns of Satan. (Using translation from Muslim 2905e)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُشِيرُ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَيَقُولُ «هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَاهُنَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَاهُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ»  

Behold, turmoil would appear from this side, from where the horns of Satan would appear. (Using translation from Muslim 2905a)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُشِيرُ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هُنَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Indeed, before the Hour there will be liars among them, such as the companion of Yemen (referring to the Yemeni false prophet), the companion of Sana'a (referring to another false prophet from Sana'a), the companion of Himyar (referring to a tribe known for its false prophets), and among them will be the Dajjal (the Antichrist) who will be the greatest tribulation."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ كَذَّابِينَ مِنْهُمْ صَاحِبُ الْيَمَامَةِ وَمِنْهُمْ صَاحِبُ صَنْعَاءَ الْعَنْسِيُّ وَمِنْهُمْ صَاحِبُ حِمْيَرَ وَمِنْهُمُ الدَّجَّالُ وَهُوَ أَعْظَمُهُمْ فِتْنَةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour will not be established until thirty liars (false prophets) come forth, each one claiming to be a messenger of Allah, until wealth overflows and turmoil appears, and there is much killing." They asked, "What is the turmoil, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Killing, killing."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ ثَلَاثُونَ دَجَّالُونَ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَفِيضَ الْمَالُ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ» قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said something about him, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among the people and praised Allah for what He is worthy of. Then he said, "As for this man who you have exaggerated in his status, he is a liar among thirty liars who will come out before the False Messiah. And there is no city that will not be entered by the fear of the Messiah, except for Madinah, for on every road leading to it there are two angels blocking the way from the fear of the Messiah."  

أَنْ يَقُولَ فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَيْئًا) ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي النَّاسِ (فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فِي شَأْنِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ فِي شَأْنِهِ) فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كَذَّابًا يَخْرُجُونَ قَبْلَ الدَّجَّالِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَلَدٌ إِلَّا يَدْخُلُهُ رُعْبُ الْمَسِيحِ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ أَنْقَابِهَا مَلَكَانِ يَذُبَّانِ عَنْهَا رُعْبَ الْمَسِيحِ»  

“I saw wristbands of gold on my arms, so I blew into them, and I interpreted them as being these two liars, Musailimah and ‘Ansi.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3922)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَأَيْتُ فِيَ يَدَيَّ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا الْكَذَّابَيْنِ مُسَيْلِمَةَ وَالْعَنْسِيَّ»  

[Machine] "Muslimah came with a great army until he settled in a palm tree. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was informed that he said, 'If Muhammad appoints me as his successor, I will follow him.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , approached him with only Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shams in his company, holding a page in his hand. He stood in front of him and said, 'If you had asked me for this, I would have given it to you. And if you turn away, Allah will surely destroy you. And this is Thabit, who will answer you on my behalf. And I thought it was you whom I saw in my dreams.'"  

أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ قَدِمَ فِي جَيْشٍ عَظِيمٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَ فِي نَخْلٍ فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنْ جَعَلَ لِي مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَمْرَ بَعْدَهُ تَبِعْتُهُ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ جَرِيدَةٌ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْ أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذِهِ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ وَلَئِنْ أَدْبَرْتَ لَيَعْقِرَنَّكَ اللَّهُ وَهَذَا ثَابِتٌ يُجِيبُكَ عَنِّي وَإِنِّي لَأَحْسَبُكَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا أُرِيتُ»  

The Caliphate will remain among the Quraish even if only two persons are left (on the earth), (Using translation from Muslim 1820)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّاسِ اثْنَانِ»  

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke to him. He ordered her to leave. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if I come back and I do not find you?" He said, "If you do not find me, then go to Abu Bakr."  

أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جِئْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ يَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ قَالَ «إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِينِي فَأْتِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The caliphate will last for thirty years, and the rest of them will be kings. The caliphs and the kings will be twelve."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْخِلَافَةُ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً وَسَائِرُهُمْ مُلُوكٌ وَالْخُلَفَاءُ وَالْمُلُوكُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be Caliphs after me who will act upon what they know and do what they are commanded. And there will be Caliphs after them who will act upon what they do not know and do what they are not commanded. So whoever denies, he is innocent; and whoever remains silent, he is safe. But whoever is pleased and follows, then he is misguided."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَيَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي خُلَفَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ وَسَيَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلَفَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا يُؤْمَرُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَمْسَكَ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ»  

[Machine] The translation of the passage "عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ" into English is "From the Prophet ﷺ , there is a similar narration."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "There will be successors after me who will act based on their knowledge and do what they are commanded. Then there will be successors after them who will act based on what they do not know and do what they are not commanded. So, whoever rejects their actions will be innocent, but whoever is satisfied with them and follows them will be guided."  

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي خُلَفَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلَفَاءُ يَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا يُؤْمَرُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There will be twelve caliphs after me, all of them from the Quraysh." When he returned to his house, people from the Quraysh came to him and asked, "And then what will happen?" He said, "And then there will be strife."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ» فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ أَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ قَالُوا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْهَرْجُ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Islam will continue to be triumphant until there have been twelve Caliphs. Then the Prophet ﷺ said something which I could not understand. I asked my father: What did he say? He said: He has said that all of them (twelve Caliphs) will be from the Quraish. (Using translation from Muslim 1821d)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ الْإِسْلَامُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» قَالَ فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This religion will continue to be powerful and protective, and those who oppose it will be defeated until there are twelve caliphs."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا يُنْصَرُونَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The foundation of Islam is based on thirty-five or thirty-six pillars. If they are destroyed, then the path of those who are destroyed is clear. And if they remain, their religion will continue for seventy years."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَدُورُ رَحَى الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَى خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ فَإِنْ هَلَكُوا فَسَبِيلُ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَإِنْ بَقُوا بَقِيَ لَهُمْ دِينُهُمْ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً»  

One who has the longest hands amongst you would meet me most immediately. She farther said: They (the wives of Allah's Apostle) used to measure the hands as to whose hand was the longest and it was the hand of Zainab that was the longest amongst them, as she used to work with her hand and Spend (that income) on charity. (Using translation from Muslim 2452)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَسْرَعُكُنَّ لَحَاقًا بِي أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا» قَالَتْ فَكُنَّ يَتَطَاوَلْنَ أَيُّهُنَّ أَطْوَلُ قَالَتْ فَكَانَ أَطْوَلَنَا يَدًا زَيْنَبُ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَعْمَلُ بِيَدِهَا وَتَتَصَدَّقُ  

"Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon the people, when a group of people will wage a holy war and it will be said, 'Is there amongst you anyone who has accompanied Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And so victory will be bestowed on them. Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will wage a holy war, and it will be said, "Is there amongst you anynone who has accompanied the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And so victory will be bestowed on them. Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will wage a holy war, and it will be said, "Is there amongst you anyone who has been in the company of the companions of the companions of Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' They will say, 'Yes.' And victory will be bestowed on them." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3649)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالٌ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَغْزُو فِيهِ فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ مَنْ صَاحَبَهُمْ؟ فَيُقَالُ نَعَمْ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ»  

What made you laugh. Messenger of Allah? He said: Some people from my Umma were presented to me who were fighters in the way of Allah and were sailing in this sea. (Gliding smoothly on the water), they appeared to be kings or like kings (sitting) on thrones (the narrator has a doubt about the actual expression used by the Holy Prophet). She said: Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He may include me among these warriors. He prayed for her. Then he placed his head (down) and dozed off (again). He woke up laughing, as before. (She said) I said: Messenger of Allah, what makes you laugh? He replied: A people from my Umma were presented to me. They were fighters in Allah's way. (He described them in the same words as he had described the first warriors.) She said: Messenger of Allah, pray to God that He may include me among these warriors. He said: You are among the first ones. Umm Haram daughter of Milhan sailed in the aea in the time of Mu'awiya. When she came out of the sea and (was going to mount a riding animal) she fell down and died. (Using translation from Muslim 1912a)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أُمِّ حَرَامٍ بِنْتِ مِلْحَانَ فَتُطْعِمُهُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ تَحْتَ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَأَطْعَمَتْهُ ثُمَّ جَلَسَتْ تَفْلِي رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَرْكَبُونَ ثَبَجَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ مُلُوكًا عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ أَوْ مِثْلَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ يَشُكُّ أَيُّهُمَا » قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ غُزَاةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» كَمَا قَالَ فِي الْأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ» فَرَكِبَتْ أُمُّ حَرَامٍ الْبَحْرَ فِي زَمَانِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَصُرِعَتْ عَنْ دَابَّتِهَا حِينَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ فَهَلَكَتْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to me while I was sleeping in the mosque in Medina. He hit me with his foot and said, "Do you not see yourself sleeping here?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, my eyes overpowered me." He said, "So what will you do if you are expelled from here?" I said, "What can I do, O Prophet of Allah, shall I strike them with my sword?" Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not guide you to what is better for you than that and more correct in guidance? You listen to them, obey them, and follow them wherever they guide you."  

أَتَانِي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا فِيهِ»؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهُ»؟ قُلْتُ مَا أَصْنَعُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْرَبُ رُشْدًا؟ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ»  

[Machine] Abu Dharr made the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite this verse to him: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect." Abu Dharr said, "So he kept repeating it to me until I fell asleep." Then he said, "O Abu Dharr, if all the people were to adopt it, it would be sufficient for them." Then he said, "O Abu Dharr, what will you do if you are expelled from the city?" I said, "I will rely on my ability and beg from others, and I will become a pigeon among the pigeons of Makkah." He said, "And what will you do if you are expelled from Makkah?" I said, "I will rely on my ability and beg from others, and I will go to the land of Sham and the holy land." He said, "And what will you do if you are expelled from there?" I said, "Then, by the One who sent you with the truth, I will take my sword and place it on my shoulder." He ﷺ said, "Is there anything better than that, where you would listen and obey a mulatto Abyssinian slave?"  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ} قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُرَدِّدُهَا عَلَيَّ حَتَّى نَعَسْتُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَخَذُوا بِهَا لَكَفَتْهُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ»؟ قُلْتُ إِلَى السَّعَةِ وَالدَّعَةِ أَكُونُ حَمَامًا مِنْ حَمَامِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ «كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ»؟ قُلْتُ إِلَى السَّعَةِ وَالدَّعَةِ إِلَى أَرْضِ الشَّامِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ قَالَ «فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهَا»؟ قُلْتُ إِذًا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ آخُذُ سَيْفِي فَأَضَعُهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِعَبْدٍ حَبَشِيٍّ مُجَدَّعٍ»  

[Machine] When Abu Dharr was about to die, I cried and he asked, "Why are you crying?" I said, "Why shouldn't I cry when you are about to die on a piece of land and I don't have a shroud that will fit you?" He said, "Don't cry and rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'A man among you will die on a piece of land witnessed by a group of believers.' None of those who heard this hadith are alive except me, and I am the one who will die on a piece of land." I continued to watch the road. She said, "What can I do, as the traveler has already left and the roads are blocked?" He said, "Go and look." She said, "I went to Kazeep, watched, then returned to him and told him." She said, "As I was doing this, I saw a group of men on their camels, which made it look like they were ants. They approached until they stood in front of me and said, "What is wrong with you, servant of Allah?" I said to them, "A Muslim man is dying and you are not burying him?" They asked, "Who is he?" I said, "Abu Dharr." They said, "The companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" I said, "Yes." She said, "They swore by their fathers and mothers and hurried towards him. They entered his house and he welcomed them. He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to a group of people, 'Among you, a man will die on a piece of land witnessed by a group of believers.' No one from among those people is alive except the Ansari youth, who said, 'O uncle, I will shroud you.' I did not suffer any loss from what you mentioned, so I will shroud you in my cloak and the two garments that my mother wove for me.' The Ansaris shrouded him, including Hujr ibn Adi and Malik ibn al-Ashhtar, in the presence of all who witnessed his death, all of whom were Yemenis."  

لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْوَفَاةُ بَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ فَقُلْتُ مَا لِي لَا أَبْكِي وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُكَ كَفَنًا قَالَ فَلَا تَبْكِي وَأَبْشِرِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ «لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ هَلَكَ فِي قَرْيَةِ جَمَاعَةٍ وَأَنَا الَّذِي أَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ فَأَبْصِرِي الطَّرِيقَ قَالَتْ وَأَنَّى وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الْحَاجُّ وَانْقَطَعَتِ الطُّرُقُ قَالَ اذْهَبِي فَتَبَصَّرِي قَالَتْ فَكُنْتُ أَجِيءُ إِلَى كَثِيبٍ فَأَتَبَصَّرُ ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فَأُمَرِّضُهُ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ عَلَى رِحَالِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمُ الرَّخَمُ فَأَقْبَلُوا حَتَّى وَقَفُوا عَلَيَّ وَقَالُوا مَا لَكِ أَمَةَ اللَّهِ؟ قُلْتُ لَهُمُ امْرُؤٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَمُوتُ تُكَفِّنُونَهُ؟ قَالُوا مَنْ هُوَ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَالُوا صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَفَدَّوْهُ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَأَسْرَعُوا إِلَيْهِ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَرَحَّبَ بِهِمْ وَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ «لَيَمُوتَنَّ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا هَلَكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَجَمَاعَةٍ وَأَنَا الَّذِي أَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُنِي كَفَنًا لِي أَوْ لِامْرَأَتِي لَمْ أُكَفَّنْ إِلَّا فِي ثَوْبٍ لِي أَوْ لَهَا أَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنْ يُكَفِّنَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ كَانَ أَمِيرًا أَوْ عَرِيفًا أَوْ بَرِيدًا أَوْ نَقِيبًا فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا قَارَفَ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا عَمِّ أَنَا أُكَفِّنُكَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتَ شَيْئًا أُكَفِّنُكَ فِي رِدَائِي هَذَا وَفِي ثَوْبَيْنِ فِي عَيْبَتِي مِنْ غَزْلِ أُمِّي حَاكَتْهُمَا لِي فَكَفَّنَهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فِي النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوهُ مِنْهُمْ حُجْرُ بْنُ الْأَدْبَرِ وَمَالِكُ بْنُ الْأَشْتَرِ فِي نَفَرٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَمَانٍ  

[Machine] When Aba Dhar was approaching death, I cried. He asked me, "What makes you cry?" I said, "Why shouldn't I cry when you are about to die on a patch of land? I don't have a shroud big enough to cover you, nor do I have hands to bury you." He said, "Rejoice and do not cry, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No two Muslim parents lose two children or more and show patience and seek reward, except that they will see Paradise forever.' And I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to a group of people that I am among them, 'One of you will die on a patch of land witnessed by a group of believers.' None of those people left except that they died in a village and community, except for me. By Allah, I am not lying. So, look for the way." I said, "How can I find the way when the pilgrims have already left and the roads are cut off?" He said, "Go and look for it." So, I sought it with great difficulty until I reached a sandy area, then I returned and made him sick. While he was in that condition, suddenly I saw men on their camels as if they were specks of sand in the wind. I said, "Hurry up and come to me!" When they stood in front of me, they said, "O servant of Allah, what is wrong with you?" I said, "A Muslim man has died, so won't you shroud him?" They asked, "Who is he?" I said, "Abu Dhar." They said, "The companion of the Messenger of Allah?" I said, "Yes." So, they sacrificed their fathers and mothers for him and hurried towards him until they entered upon him. He said to them, "Rejoice, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to a group of people that I am among them, 'One of you will die on a patch of land witnessed by a group of believers.' None of those people died except in a group." I swear by Allah that I did not lie and he did not lie. If I had a shroud that would fit either me or my wife, I would not have shrouded him except in that shroud. I implore you by Allah that no one among you, whether a leader, a dignitary, a messenger, or a captain, shrouds me. None of those people died except that they committed some of what he (the Prophet) mentioned, except for one young boy from the Ansar. He said, "I will shroud you, O uncle. I will shroud you in my garment and in two robes from my mother's yarn." He said, "You, then shroud me." So, the Ansari among the group who were present and stood over him shrouded him and buried him in a group, all of whom were from Yemen.  

لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْوَفَاةُ بَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَبْكِي وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُكَ كَفَنًا وَلَا يَدَانِ لِي فِي تَغْيِيبِكَ قَالَ أَبْشِرِي وَلَا تَبْكِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَمُوتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ فَيَصْبِرَانِ وَيَحْتَسِبَانِ فَيَرَيَانِ النَّارَ أَبَدًا» وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ «لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ مَاتَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ وَجَمَاعَةٍ فَأَنَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ فَأَبْصِرِي الطَّرِيقَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَّى وَقَدْ ذَهَبَتِ الْحَاجُّ وَتَقَطَّعَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبِي فَتَبَصَّرِي قَالَتْ فَكُنْتُ أَشْتَدُّ إِلَى الْكَثِيبِ أَتَبَصَّرُ ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ فَأُمَرِّضُهُ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ وَأَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَنَا بِرِجَالٍ عَلَى رَحْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمُ الرَّخَمُ تَخُبُّ بِهِمْ رَوَاحِلُهُمْ قَالَتْ فَأَسْرَعُوا إِلَيَّ حِينَ وَقَفُوا عَلَيَّ فَقَالُوا يَا أَمَةَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكِ؟ قُلْتُ امْرُؤٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَمُوتُ فَتُكَفِّنُونَهُ؟ قَالُوا وَمَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَتْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَالُوا صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَفَدَّوْهُ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ وَأَسْرَعُوا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ «لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرِ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ هَلَكَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ إِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُنِي كَفَنًا لِي أَوْ لِامْرَأَتِي لَمْ أُكَفَّنْ إِلَّا فِي ثَوْبٍ هُوَ لِي أَوْ لَهَا إِنِّي أُنْشِدُكُمُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا يُكَفِّنَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ كَانَ أَمِيرًا أَوْ عَرِيفًا أَوْ بَرِيدًا أَوْ نَقِيبًا فَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفْرِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ قَارَفَ بَعْضَ مَا قَالَ إِلَّا فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ أَنَا أُكَفِّنُكَ يَا عَمِّ أُكَفِّنُكَ فِي رِدَائِي هَذَا وَفِي ثَوْبَيْنِ فِي عَيْبَتِي مِنْ غَزْلِ أُمِّي قَالَ أَنْتَ فَكَفِّنْنِي فَكَفَّنَهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فِي النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ حَضَرُوا وَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي نَفَرٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَمَانٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention the Dajjal (the Antichrist). I said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there were people with him from the people of the Maghreb who came to greet him and they were wearing woollen garments. When I drew near to him, I heard him say: 'You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade Persia and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade Rome and Allah will open it (for you), then you will invade the Dajjal and Allah will open him (for you).' "  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ الدَّجَّالَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَتَوْهُ لِيُسْلِمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمُ الصُّوفُ فَلَمَّا دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ»  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Yemen will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families, and those who will obey them to migrate (to Yemen) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. Sham will also be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them, to migrate (to Sham) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew. 'Iraq will be conquered and some people will migrate (from Medina) and will urge their families and those who will obey them to migrate (to 'Iraq) although Medina will be better for them; if they but knew." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1875)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تُفْتَحُ الْيَمَنُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَتُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ فَيَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَتُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ فَيَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Confusion has been compared to the barking of dogs, and you will surely experience it." A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, give me the daughter of Buqayla." The Prophet said, "She is yours." So, they gave her to him and her father came and asked, "Are you going to marry her?" He replied, "Yes." Her father asked, "With how much money?" He answered, "Whatever you wish." Her father said, "One thousand dirhams." He said, "I have taken her." They said to him, "What if you had said thirty thousand?" He replied, "Is there a number greater than one thousand?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مُثِّلَتْ لِيَ الْحِيرَةُ كَأَنْيَابِ الْكِلَابِ وَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَهَا» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَبْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْنَةَ بُقَيْلَةَ فَقَالَ «هِيَ لَكَ» فَأَعْطُوهُ إِيَّاهَا فَجَاءَ أَبُوهَا فَقَالَ أَتَبِيعُهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ بِكُمْ؟ احْتَكِمْ مَا شِئْتَ قَالَ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ لَوْ قُلْتَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا؟ قَالَ وَهَلْ عَدَدٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَلْفٍ  

“I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the campaign of Tabuk, when he was in a tent made of leather, so I sat in front of the tent. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Enter, O ‘Awf.’ I said, ‘All of me, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘All of you.’ Then he said: ‘O ‘Awf, remember six things (that will occur) before the Hour comes, one of which is my death.’ I was very shocked and saddened at that. He said: ‘Count that as the first. Then (will come) the conquest of Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem); then a disease which will appear among you and cause you and your offspring to die as martyrs and will purify your deeds; then there will be (much) wealth among you, so that if a man were to be given one hundred Dinar he would still be dissatisfied; and there will be tribulation among you that will not leave any Muslim house untouched;* then there will be a treaty between you and the Romans, then they will betray you and march against you with eighty banners, under each of which will be twelve thousand (troops).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4042)   

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ فِي خِبَاءٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَجَلَسْتُ فِي فَنَاءِ الْخِبَاءِ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ يَا عَوْفُ» فَقُلْتُ كُلِّي؟ فَقَالَ «كُلُّكَ» فَدَخَلْتُ فَوَافَقْتُهُ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءًا مَكِيثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَوْفُ احْفَظْ خِلَالًا سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ إِحْدَاهُنَّ مَوْتِي» قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَوَجَمْتُ عِنْدَهَا وَجْمَةً شَدِيدَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قُلْ إِحْدَى» فَقُلْتُ إِحْدَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ فِيكُمْ دَاءٌ ثُمَّ اسْتِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ سَاخِطًا ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مُؤْمِنٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ ثُمَّ صُلْحٌ يَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ بِكُمْ فَيَسِيرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, you will conquer a land in which the Qirat will be mentioned, so treat its people well, for they have protection and mercy." Haramalah said, "By Qirat, he means the Copts of Egypt, who celebrate their festivals and every gathering they have, they say: We witness the Qirat."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَ أَرْضًا يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا الْقِيرَاطُ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِأَهْلِهَا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةً وَرَحِمًا» قَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ «يَعْنِي بِالْقِيرَاطِ أَنَّ قِبْطَ مِصْرَ يُسَمُّونَ أَعْيَادَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَجْمَعٍ لَهُمُ الْقِيرَاطَ يَقُولُونَ نَشْهَدُ الْقِيرَاطَ  

[Machine] He heard Abu Abdullah Rahman Al-Hubuli and Amr ibn Hurayth saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You will conquer a people whose heads are curly, so treat them well, for they will be a strength for you and a way to convey your message to your enemy, by the permission of Allah.' He meant the Copts of Egypt."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ وَعَمْرَو بْنَ حُرَيْثٍ يَقُولَانِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَقْدِمُونَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ جَعْدٍ رُءُوسُهُمْ فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ قُوَّةٌ لَكُمْ وَبَلَاغٌ إِلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ» يَعْنِي قِبْطَ مِصْرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give in charity, for a day will come when one of you will pass by his charity and will not find anyone to accept it, and he will say, 'Why didn't I give it in my lifetime?' As for today, there is no need for it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقُوا فَسَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمٌ يَمُرُّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِصَدَقَتِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا يَقُولُ فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا»  

[Machine] From the narration of Adi bin Hatim, who was next to me and I asked him about it. He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent to the place where he was sent, and I hated him more than I ever hated anything before. So I set off until I was in the farthest part of the earth from Rome. I said to myself, 'If I see this man and he is lying, he will not be able to deceive me, and if he is truthful, I will follow him.' So I approached, and when I reached the city, the people looked at me and said, 'Adi bin Hatim has come, Adi bin Hatim has come.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'O Adi bin Hatim, embrace Islam, you will be safe.' I said, 'I have a religion.' He said, 'I know more about your religion than you do. Haven’t you been a leader of your people?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you eat from the Sadaqah (charity)?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That is not permissible for you in your religion.' I was shaken by this, and then he said, 'O Adi bin Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe. I see, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, there is no reason for you not to embrace Islam when you see the signs around me. You are soon to leave the state of doubt without living in a state of confusion, to go around the Kaaba, and treasures from Kisra ibn Hurmuz will be opened for us." Adi bin Hatim said, "I saw the state of doubt leaving me, without living in a state of confusion, until I went around the Kaaba. I was among the first riders who rushed to the cities for the treasures of Kisra ibn Hurmuz. I swear by Allah, the third thing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me will come true."  

عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَهُوَ إِلَى جَنْبِي لَا آتِيهِ فَأَسْأَلَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُ بُعِثَ فَكَرِهْتُهُ أَشَدَّ مَا كَرِهْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَقْصَى الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَلِيَ الرُّومَ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ أَتَيْتُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا اتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ اسْتَشْرَفَ لِي النَّاسُ وَقَالُوا جَاءَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ جَاءَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِي «يَا عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ لِي دِينًا قَالَ «أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِدِينِكَ مِنْكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا أَلَسْتَ تَرْأَسُ قَوْمَكَ»؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «أَلَسْتَ تَأْكُلُ الْمِرْبَاعَ»؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِي دِينِكَ» قَالَ فَتَضَعْضَعْتُ لِذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَدِيَّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَظُنُّ أَوْ قَدْ أَرَى أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ خَصَاصَةٌ تَرَاهَا مِنْ حَوْلِي * وَتُوشِكُ الظَّعِينَةُ أَنْ تَرْحَلَ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَتُفْتَحَنَّ عَلَيْنَا كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ * وَلَيَفِيضَنَّ الْمَالُ أَوْ لَيَفِيضُ حَتَّى يُهِمَّ الرَّجُلَ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ مَالَهُ صَدَقَةً» قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْحَلُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَكُنْتُ فِي أَوَّلِ خَيْلٍ أَغَارَتْ عَلَى الْمَدَائِنِ عَلَى كُنُوزِ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَأَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ لَتَجِيئَنَّ الثَّالِثَةُ إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Hour will not be established until wealth increases among you, pouring abundantly until the owner of the money is confused about who will accept his charity, and until he presents it to someone who refuses it, saying, 'I have no need for it.'"  

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَكْثُرَ فِيكُمُ الْأَمْوَالُ وَتَفِيضَ حَتَّى يُهِمَّ رَبَّ الْمَالِ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَدَقَتَهُ وَحَتَّى يَعْرِضَهُ وَيَقُولُ الَّذِي يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ لَا أَرَبَ لِي فِيهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The Hour will not come until wealth increases and overflows to the point where a person gives out their Zakat (obligatory charity) and finds no one to accept it from them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَكْثُرَ الْمَالُ وَيَفِيضَ حَتَّى يُخْرِجَ الرَّجُلُ زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْهُ»  

"We were in the company of Jabir b. 'Abdullah that he said it may happen that the people of Iraq may not send their qafiz and dirhams (their measures of food stuff and their money). We said: Who would be responsible for it? He said: The non-Arabs would prevent them. He again said: There is the possibility that the people of Syria may not send their dinars and mudds. We said: Who would be responsible for it? He said this prevention would be made by the Romans. He (Jabir b. Abdullah) kept quiet for a while and then reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ having said there would be a caliph in the last (period) of my Ummah who would freely give handfuls of wealth to the people without counting it. I said to Abu Nadra and Abu al-'Ala: Do you mean 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Aziz? They said: No (he would be Imam Mahdi). (Using translation from Muslim 2913a)   

أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ قَفِيزٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجَمِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا مُدْيٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيٍّ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ؟ ثُمَّ أُسْكِتَ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Have you made cushions ? I said: How can we afford cushions ? He said: Soon you will have cushions. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4145)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا جَابِرُ أَنَكَحْتَ»؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَتَّخَذْتُمْ أَنْمَاطًا؟ » قُلْتُ أَنَّى لَنَا أَنْمَاطٌ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ»  

[Machine] "When the man arrived in the city, he would have a guide with him, meaning a local who would host him. If he did not have a guide, he would stay at a hostel called As-Suffah. He said, 'I stayed at As-Suffah and accompanied a man who would bring us a basket of dates every day from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The dates were enough for two men, and we had nothing to eat except for dates and bread made from barley flour.' So, we went to our brothers from the Ansar, and their main food was dates. They shared their dates with us. I stood up and went to the pulpit and praised and thanked Allah. Then, I mentioned what I encountered among his people. I said, 'We stayed, my companion and I, for about fourteen days with nothing to eat except for dates and barley bread. We came to our brothers from the Ansar, and their main food was dates. They shared their dates with us. By Allah, if I had found bread and meat for you, I would have fed you. However, you may be in a time where you find something similar to the As-Shatair (the clothing of the Kaaba) to wear and a meal to eat.'  

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَكَانَ لَهُ بِهَا يَعْنِي عَرِيفٌ نَزَلَ عَلَى عَرِيفِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بِهَا عَرِيفٌ نَزَلَ الصُّفَّةَ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ نَزَلَ الصُّفَّةَ قَالَ فَرَافَقْتُ رَجُلًا فَكَانَ يُجْرَى عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُدٌّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَنَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَحْرَقَ التَّمْرُ بُطُونَنَا قَالَ فَمَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فَصَعِدَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا لَقِيَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَالَ حَتَّى مَكَثْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْبَرِيرُ وَالْبَرِيرُ ثَمَرُ الْأَرَاكِ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى إِخْوَانِنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَعُظْمُ طَعَامِهِمُ التَّمْرُ فَوَاسَوْنَا فِيهِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَجِدُ لَكُمُ الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمُوهُ وَلَكِنْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُدْرِكُونَ زَمَانًا أَوْ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ يَلْبَسُونَ فِيهِ مِثْلَ أَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَيُغْدَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُرَاحُ بِالْجِفَانِ «  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode on a donkey and asked me to join him on the back. Then he said, "O Abu Dharr, what do you think if the people suffer from severe hunger to the extent that they cannot go from their beds to their mosques, what would you do?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Fast." He then asked, "O Abu Dharr, what do you think if the people face a severe epidemic to the point that houses would be filled with dead bodies, what would you do?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Be patient." He then asked, "O Abu Dharr, what do you think if people start killing one another and blood flows in the streets, what would you do?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Stay in your house and close your door." I asked, "What if I am not allowed to do so?" He replied, "Join those who are like you." I asked, "Should I take my weapon with me?" He said, "If you fear that the sword might intimidate you, then cover your face with your robe, for that would deter both you and their aggression."
