Ten signs of the Last Hour

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us all of a sudden as we were ˹busy˺ in a discussion. He said, "What are you discussing?" They said: We are discussing the Last Hour. Thereupon he said, "It will not come until you see ten signs before and he made a mention of the (1) smoke, (2) Dajjal, (3) the beast, (4) the rising of the sun from the west, (5) the descent of Jesus the son of Mary ﷺ, the (6) Gog and Magog, and landslides in three places: (7) one in the east, (8) one in the west, and (9) one in Arabia, at the end of which (10) fire would burn forth from Yemen and would drive people to the place of their assembly.  

اطَّلَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ فَقَالَ: «مَا تَذَاكَرُونَ؟» قَالُوا: نَذْكُرُ السَّاعَةَ۔ قَالَ: «إِنَّهَا لَنْ تَقُومَ حَتَّى تَرَوْنَ قَبْلَهَا عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ» فَذَكَرَ (١) الدُّخَانَ، (٢) وَالدَّجَّالَ، (٣) وَالدَّابَّةَ، (٤) وَطُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، (٥) وَنُزُولَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ﷺ، (٦) وَيَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ، وَثَلاَثَةَ خُسُوفٍ: (٧) خَسْفٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ، (٨) وَخَسْفٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ، (٩) وَخَسْفٌ بِجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، (١٠) وَآخِرُ ذَلِكَ نَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ تَطْرُدُ النَّاسَ إِلَى مَحْشَرِهِمْ۔»  

Allah's Apostle ﷺ was in an apartment and we were beneath that, that he peeped in and said to us: What are you discussing about? We said: (We are discussing about the Last) Hour. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come until the ten signs appear: land-sliding in the east, and land-sliding in the west, and land-sliding in the peninsula of Arabia, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast of the earth, Gog and Magog, the rising of the sun from the west and the fire which would emit from the lower part of 'Adan. Shu'ba said that 'Abd al-'Aziz b. Rufai' reported on the authority of Abu Tufail who reported on the authority of Abu Sariha a hadith like this that Allah's Apostle ﷺ did not make a mention of (the tenth sign) but he said that out of the ten one was the descent of Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), and in another version it is the blowing of the violent gale which would drive the people to the ocean.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ فَاطَّلَعَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا تَذْكُرُونَ قُلْنَا السَّاعَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لاَ تَكُونُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ خَسْفٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَخَسْفٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ وَخَسْفٌ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَالدُّخَانُ وَالدَّجَّالُ وَدَابَّةُ الأَرْضِ وَيَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ وَطُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَنَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ قُعْرَةِ عَدَنٍ تَرْحَلُ النَّاسَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ لاَ يَذْكُرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا فِي الْعَاشِرَةِ نُزُولُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ﷺ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ وَرِيحٌ تُلْقِي النَّاسَ فِي الْبَحْرِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in an (upper) apartment and we were standing lower to him and discussing (about the Last Hour). The rest of the hadith is the same, and Shu'ba said: I think he also said these words: The fire would descend along with them where they would land and where they would take rest (during midday (it would also cool down for a while). Shu'ba said: This hadith has been transmitted to me through Abu Tufail and Abu Sariha and none could trace it back directly to Allah's Apostle ﷺ. However, there is a mention of the descent of Jesus Christ son of Mary in one version and in the other there is a mention of the blowing of a violent gale which would drive them to the ocean.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ تَحْتَهَا نَتَحَدَّثُ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ تَنْزِلُ مَعَهُمْ إِذَا نَزَلُوا وَتَقِيلُ مَعَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَالُوا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ قَالَ أَحَدُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ نُزُولُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَقَالَ الآخَرُ رِيحٌ تُلْقِيهِمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ  

We were discussing (the Last Hour) that Allah's Apostle ﷺ looked towards us. The rest of the hadith is the same and the tenth (sign) was the descent of Jesus Christ son of Mary, and Shu'ba said: 'Abd al-'Aziz did not trace it directly to Allah's Apostle ﷺ.  

كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ وَابْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيحَةَ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ وَالْعَاشِرَةُ نُزُولُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ  

The Last Hour would not come until fire emits from the earth of Hijaz which would illuminate the necks of the camels of the Busra.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ نَارٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ تُضِيءُ أَعْنَاقَ الإِبِلِ بِبُصْرَى  

(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  

that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say as he was facing East, "Behold, turmoil would appear from this side, from where the horns of Satan would appear."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْمَشْرِقِ يَقُولُ أَلاَ إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا أَلاَ إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ  

The turmoil would appear from this side, viz. where the horns of Satan would appear, and he uttered these words twice or thrice and ʿUbaidullah b. Saʿid in his narration said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had been standing by the door of ʿA'isha.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عِنْدَ بَابِ حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ الْفِتْنَةُ هَا هُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ بَابِ عَائِشَةَ  

The turmoil would appear from this side; verily, the turmoil would appear from this side; verily, the turmoil would appear from this side - the side where appear the horns of Satan.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَهُوَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْمَشْرِقِ هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ  

It would be from this side that there would appear the height of unbelief, viz. where appear the horns of Satan, i.e. the east.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ رَأْسُ الْكُفْرِ مِنْ هَا هُنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ يَعْنِي الْمَشْرِقَ  

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.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَيَقُولُ هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا هَا إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ هَا هُنَا ثَلاَثًا حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ  

O people of Iraq, how strange it is that you ask about the minor sins but commit major sins? I heard from my father ʿAbdullah b. ʿUmar, narrating that he heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying while pointing his hand towards the east: Verily, the turmoil would come from this side, from where appear the horns of Satan and you would strike the necks of one another; and Moses killed a person from among the people of Pharaoh unintentionally and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: "You killed a person but We relieved you from the grief and tried you with (many a) trial" (xx. 40). Ahmad b. ʿUmar reported this hadith from Salim, but he did not make a mention of the words: "I heard".  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْفِتْنَةَ تَجِيءُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ وَأَنْتُمْ يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَتَلَ مُوسَى الَّذِي قَتَلَ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ خَطَأً فَقَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ { وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا} قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ سَالِمٍ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعْتُ  

The Last Hour would not come until the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for worship) and Dhi al-Khalasa is a place in Tabala, where there was a temple in which the people of the tribe of Daus used to worship the idol.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَضْطَرِبَ أَلَيَاتُ نِسَاءِ دَوْسٍ حَوْلَ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ وَكَانَتْ صَنَمًا تَعْبُدُهَا دَوْسٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ بِتَبَالَةَ  

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.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَذْهَبُ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ حَتَّى تُعْبَدَ اللاَّتُ وَالْعُزَّى فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَظُنُّ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ { هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ} أَنَّ ذَلِكَ تَامًّا قَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً فَتَوَفَّى كُلَّ مَنْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَيَبْقَى مَنْ لاَ خَيْرَ فِيهِ فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى دِينِ آبَائِهِمْ  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Ja'far with the same chain of transmitters.  

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

By Him, in Whose hand is my life, the world would not come to an end until a person would pass by a grave, would roll over it and express the desire that he should be in the place of the occupant of that grave not because of religious reasons but because of this calamity.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَيَتَمَرَّغُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَكَانَ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْبَلاَءُ  

The Last Hour would not come until a person would pass by a grave of another person and he would say: I wish it had been my abode.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ بِقَبْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي مَكَانَهُ  

By Him in Whose Hand is my life, a time would come when the murderer would not know why he has committed the murder, and the victim would not know why he has been killed.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لاَ يَدْرِي الْقَاتِلُ فِي أَىِّ شَىْءٍ قَتَلَ وَلاَ يَدْرِي الْمَقْتُولُ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ قُتِلَ  

The world would not come to an end until a day would come to the people on which the murderer would not know as to why he has killed and the slain would not know as to why he has been murdered. It would be said: Why would It happen? To which he replied: It would be because of general massacre and bloodshed. And the slaughterers and the slain would be in Fire, and in the narration of Ibn Aban, the name of Abu Isma'il has been mentioned.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ يَوْمٌ لاَ يَدْرِي الْقَاتِلُ فِيمَ قَتَلَ وَلاَ الْمَقْتُولُ فِيمَ قُتِلَ فَقِيلَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الْهَرْجُ الْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبَانَ قَالَ هُوَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الأَسْلَمِيَّ  

The Ka'ba would be destroyed by an Abyssinian having two small shanks.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُخَرِّبُ الْكَعْبَةَ ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ  

(The above mentioned) hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through another chain of transmitters.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُخَرِّبُ الْكَعْبَةَ ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ  

It would be an Abyssinian having two small shanks who would destroy the House ol Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ يُخَرِّبُ بَيْتَ اللَّهِ ﷻ  

The Last Hour would not come before a person of Qahtan comes forth driving people with his stick.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَحْطَانَ يَسُوقُ النَّاسَ بِعَصَاهُ  

The day and the night would not come to an end before a man called al-Jahjah would occupy the throne.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَذْهَبُ الأَيَّامُ وَاللَّيَالِي حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْجَهْجَاهُ قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ هُمْ أَرْبَعَةُ إِخْوَةٍ شَرِيكٌ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ وَعُمَيْرٌ وَعَبْدُ الْكَبِيرِ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ  

The Last Hour would not come unless you fight with people whose faces are like hammered shields and the Last Hour would not come until you would fight against those wearing the shoes of hair.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُوا قَوْمًا كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمُ الْمَجَانُّ الْمُطْرَقَةُ وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُوا قَوْمًا نِعَالُهُمُ الشَّعَرُ  

The Last Hour would not come until a people wearing shoes of hair fight against you having their faces like hammered shields.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلَكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَنْتَعِلُونَ الشَّعَرَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مِثْلُ الْمَجَانِّ الْمُطْرَقَةِ  

The Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people wearing shoes of hair and the Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people having small eyes and broad snub noses.  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُوا قَوْمًا نِعَالُهُمُ الشَّعَرُ وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُوا قَوْمًا صِغَارَ الأَعْيُنِ ذُلْفَ الآنُفِ  

The Last Hour would not come until the Muslims fight with the Turks-a people whose faces would be like hammered shields wearing clothes of hair and walking (with shoes) of hair.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ التُّرْكَ قَوْمًا وُجُوهُهُمْ كَالْمَجَانِّ الْمُطْرَقَةِ يَلْبَسُونَ الشَّعَرَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الشَّعَرِ  

You shall fight in the hours to come against a nation wearing shoes made of hair and faces like hammered shields, with red complexion and small eyes.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تُقَاتِلُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ قَوْمًا نِعَالُهُمُ الشَّعَرُ كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمُ الْمَجَانُّ الْمُطْرَقَةُ حُمْرُ الْوُجُوهِ صِغَارُ الأَعْيُنِ  

"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).  

أَنْ لاَ يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ قَفِيزٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجَمِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكَ أَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ أَنْ لاَ يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ مُدْىٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لاَ يَعُدُّهُ عَدَدًا قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي نَضْرَةَ وَأَبِي الْعَلاَءِ أَتَرَيَانِ أَنَّهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَالاَ لاَ  

This hadith hab been narrated by Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters.  

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي الْجُرَيْرِيَّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ  

There would be amongst your caliphs a caliph who would give handfuls of wealth to the people, but would not count it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Ibn Hujr, there is a slight variation of wording.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ خُلَفَائِكُمْ خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثُو الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لاَ يَعُدُّهُ عَدَدًا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ حُجْرٍ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ  

There would be in the last phase of the time a caliph who would distribute wealth but would not count.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ خَلِيفَةٌ يَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ وَلاَ يَعُدُّهُ  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id through another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ  

One who is better than I informed me, that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to ʿAmmar as he was digging the ditch (on the ocassion of the Battle of the Ditch) wiping over his head: O son of Summayya, you will be involved in trouble and a group of the rebels would kill you.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ حِينَ جَعَلَ يَحْفِرُ الْخَنْدَقَ وَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَقُولُ بُؤْسَ ابْنِ سُمَيَّةَ تَقْتُلُكَ فِئَةٌ بَاغِيةٌ  

One who is better than I informed me, and he was Abu Qatada, and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Khalid instead of the word 'bu'us' there is 'wayys' or 'ya wayys', i.e., " how sad it is".  

عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ النَّضْرِ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي أَبُو قَتَادَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ أُرَاهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا قَتَادَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ خَالِدٍ وَيَقُولُ وَيْسَ أَوْ يَقُولُ يَا وَيْسَ ابْنِ سُمَيَّةَ  

A group of rebels would kill you.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ  

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Umm Salama through another chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ  

A band of rebels would kill ʿAmmar.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَقْتُلُ عَمَّارًا الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ  

This tribe of the Quraish would kill (people) of my Ummah. They (the Companions) said: What do you command us to do (in such a situation)? Thereupon he said: Would that the people remain aside from them (and not besmear their hands with the blood of the Muslim). This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُهْلِكُ أُمَّتِي هَذَا الْحَىُّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ اعْتَزَلُوهُمْ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ فِي مَعْنَاهُ  

Kisra (Khusrau king of Persia) would die and Qaisar (Ceasar King of Rome) would die; there would be no Qaisar after him, but, by the One in Whose Hand is my life, you would spend their treasures in the cause of Allah. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ كِسْرَى فَلاَ كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ وَإِذَا هَلَكَ قَيْصَرُ فَلاَ قَيْصَرَ بَعْدَهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتُنْفَقَنَّ كُنُوزُهُمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِ سُفْيَانَ وَمَعْنَى حَدِيثِهِ  

This is what Abu Huraira reported from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in this connection he reported so many hadith (and one of them was this): Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Kisra would die and then there would be no Kisra after him. Qaisar would die and there would be no Qaisar after him, but you will distribute their treasures in the cause of Allah.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلَكَ كِسْرَى ثُمَّ لاَ يَكُونُ كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ وَقَيْصَرُ لَيَهْلِكَنَّ ثُمَّ لاَ يَكُونُ قَيْصَرُ بَعْدَهُ وَلَتُقْسَمَنَّ كُنُوزُهُمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ  

When Kisra would die there would be no Kisra after him; the rest of the hadith is the same as Abu Huraira reported.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى فَلاَ كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَوَاءً  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There would lie open for a group of Muslims, or for a group of believers, the treasures of the family of Kisra which would be in the white (palace). In a version of Qutaiba there is definitely the word "Muslim".  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَتَفْتَحَنَّ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَنْزَ آلِ كِسْرَى الَّذِي فِي الأَبْيَضِ قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith like this.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ  

You have heard about a city, one side of which is on land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Messenger of Allah, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless seventy thousand persons from Bani lshaq would attack it. When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators) said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they would say for the second time: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest" and the second side would also fall, and they would say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and the gates would be opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves when a noise would be heard saying: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would leave everything there and go back.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُمْ بِمَدِينَةٍ جَانِبٌ مِنْهَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَجَانِبٌ مِنْهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَغْزُوَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْحَاقَ فَإِذَا جَاءُوهَا نَزَلُوا فَلَمْ يُقَاتِلُوا بِسِلاَحٍ وَلَمْ يَرْمُوا بِسَهْمٍ قَالُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَيَسْقُطُ أَحَدُ جَانِبَيْهَا قَالَ ثَوْرٌ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ قَالَ الَّذِي فِي الْبَحْرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُوا الثَّانِيَةَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَيَسْقُطُ جَانِبُهَا الآخَرُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُوا الثَّالِثَةَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَيُفَرَّجُ لَهُمْ فَيَدْخُلُوهَا فَيَغْنَمُوا فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَقْتَسِمُونَ الْمَغَانِمَ إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الصَّرِيخُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ قَدْ خَرَجَ فَيَتْرُكُونَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ وَيَرْجِعُونَ  

Thaur b. Zaid has narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters.  

حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيُّ فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ بِمِثْلِهِ  

You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَتُقَاتِلُنَّ الْيَهُودَ فَلَتَقْتُلُنَّهُمْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْحَجَرُ يَا مُسْلِمُ هَذَا يَهُودِيٌّ فَتَعَالَ فَاقْتُلْهُ  

" There is a Jew behind me."  

وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ هَذَا يَهُودِيٌّ وَرَائِي
