54. Tribulations and Signs of the Last Hour
٥٤۔ كتاب الفتن وأشراط الساعة
(The Last Hour would not come) until the habitations of Medina would extend to Ihab or Yahab. Zubair said: I said to Suhail how far these were from Medina. He said: So and so miles.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَبْلُغُ الْمَسَاكِنُ إِهَابَ أَوْ يَهَابَ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ قُلْتُ لِسُهَيْلٍ فَكَمْ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِيلاً
The famine would not break out because of drought, but there would be famine despite heavy rainfall as nothing would grow from the earth.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَتِ السَّنَةُ بِأَنْ لاَ تُمْطَرُوا وَلَكِنِ السَّنَةُ أَنْ تُمْطَرُوا وَتُمْطَرُوا وَلاَ تُنْبِتُ الأَرْضُ شَيْئًا
