Explanation from the source

The Hour will not be established until a fire comes out of Makkah, Madīnah, and the surrounding area. It will illuminate the necks of camels in the city of Busra in Sham. In the year 654 A.H., a fire came out in Madīnah, and it was a great fire that came out from the eastern side of Madīnah behind Al-Harrah. All the people of the Levant and all other lands learned about that fire. Contemporary scholars at that time, like An-Nawawi, Al-Qurtubi, and Abu Shāmah, mentioned it in their books.
