• Among the most wicked people are those who will be alive when the Hour comes, and those who take the graves as places of worship

  عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بن مسعودٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مَنْ تُدْرِكُهُ السَّاعَةُ وَهُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ، وَمَنْ يَتَّخِذُ الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ».

  ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Among the most wicked people are those who will be alive when the Hour comes, and those who take the graves as places of worship."

• Shall I tell you something about the Anti-Christ that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hellfire

  عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا عَنِ الدَّجَّالِ، مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ نَبِيٌّ قَوْمَهُ؟ إِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ، وَإِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ مَعَهُ بِمِثَالِ الجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَالَّتِي يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا الجَنَّةُ هِيَ النَّارُ، وَإِنِّي أُنْذِرُكُمْ كَمَا أَنْذَرَ بِهِ نُوحٌ قَوْمَهُ».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I tell you something about the Anti-Christ that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hellfire. What he says is Paradise will actually be Hellfire. Indeed, I warn you as Nūh (Noah) warned his people against him."

• There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil. Today, an opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog, like this,

  عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْها أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَزِعًا يَقُولُ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فُتِحَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ» وَحَلَّقَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الإِبْهَامِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا، قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الخَبَثُ».

  Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to her in an alarmed state, saying: "There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil. Today, an opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog, like this," making a circle with his thumb and index fingers. Zaynab bint Jahsh said: So, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we perish while there are pious people among us?" He said: "Yes, when wickedness becomes rampant."

• We were talking about the Farewell Hajj, when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was with us. We did not know what the Farewell Hajj signified

  عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما ، قال: كنا نتحدث عن حَجَّةِ الوداع، والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أظهرنا، ولا ندري ما حَجَّةُ الوداع حتى حمد اللهَ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأثنى عليه، ثم ذكر المَسِيحَ الدَّجَالَ، فأَطْنَبَ في ذكره، وقال: «ما بعث الله من نبي إلا أَنْذَرَهُ أُمَّتَهُ، أنذره نوح والنبيون من بعده، وإنه إن يخرج فيكم فما خَفِيَ عليكم من شأنه فليس يخفى عليكم، إن ربكم ليس بأَعْوَرَ، وإنه أَعْوَرُ عَيْنِ اليُمْنَى، كأنَّ عينه عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ. ألا إن الله حرم عليكم دماءكم وأموالكم كحُرْمَةِ يومكم هذا، في بلدكم هذا، في شهركم هذا، ألا هل بلغت؟» قالوا: نعم، قال: «اللهم اشهد» ثلاثا «ويلكم - أو ويحكم -، انظروا: لا ترجعوا بعدي كُفَّارًا يضرب بعضكم رِقَابَ بعض».

  Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were talking about the Farewell Hajj, when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was with us. We did not know what the Farewell Hajj signified. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praised Allah and then mentioned the Anti-Christ, describing him extensively, saying: "Allah did not send any prophet but that prophet warned his nation of the Anti-Christ. Nūh and the prophets following him warned [their people] of him. He will appear among you and some of his qualities will be hidden from you, but it should not be hidden from you that your Lord is not one-eyed. He (the Anti-Christ) is blind in the right eye and it looks like a bulging grape. Allah has certainly made your blood and your property inviolable, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of yours." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) added: ''Have I conveyed [Allah's Message to you]?" They replied: 'Yes.' The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "O Allah, bear witness [to that]." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) added: "Woe to you!" (or) "May Allah be merciful to you! Do not become disbelievers after me, cutting the necks of one another."

• No Prophet was sent but that he warned his people against the one-eyed liar

  عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «ما من نبي إلا وقد أنذر أمته الأعور الكذاب، ألا إنه أعور، وإن ربكم - عز وجل - ليس بأعور، مكتوب بين عينيه ك ف ر»

  Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “No Prophet was sent but that he warned his people against the one-eyed liar. Beware! He is blind in one eye, and your Lord, Glorified and Exalted, is not. Between his eyes, the letters 'k', 'f', and 'r' are written (in Arabic).”

• Indeed, this matter will reach everywhere the night and day have reached. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this religion enter therein

  عن تَميم الداري رضي الله عنه، قال: سمعتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «‌لَيَبْلُغَنَّ ‌هَذَا الأَمْرُ مَا بَلَغَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ، وَلَا يَتْرُكُ اللهُ بَيْتَ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ هَذَا الدِّينَ، بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ بِذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ، عِزًّا يُعِزُّ اللهُ بِهِ الإِسْلَامَ، وَذُلًّا يُذِلُّ اللهُ بِهِ الكُفْرَ» وَكَانَ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ يَقُولُ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، لَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمُ الْخَيْرُ وَالشَّرَفُ وَالْعِزُّ، وَلَقَدْ أَصَابَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ كَافِرًا الذُّلُّ وَالصَّغَارُ وَالْجِزْيَةُ.

  Tamīm ad-Dāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, this matter will reach everywhere the night and day have reached. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this religion enter therein, thus honoring the honorable or humiliating the humiliated; an honor which Allah will bestow on Islam, and a humiliation which Allah will inflict on disbelief." Tamīm ad-Dāri used to say: I recognized this within members of my household; those of them who embraced Islam enjoyed good, honor, and high standing, and the disbelievers among them were subject to humiliation, disgrace, and Jizyah (protection tax).

• By Him in Whose hand is my soul, a time would come upon the people when the killer would not know why he killed and the victim would not know why he was killed

  عن أبي هريرة، قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : «والذي نفسي بيده ليأتينَّ على الناس زمانٌ لا يدري القاتلُ في أيِّ شيء قَتَل، ولا يدري المقتولُ على أيِّ شيء قُتِل».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''By Him in Whose hand is my soul, a time would come upon the people when the killer would not know why he killed and the victim would not know why he was killed.''

• A man will go to sleep and honesty will be taken out of his heart and only a trace of it will remain, like the trace of a dark spot. And a man will go to sleep again and the honesty will decrease further still, so its trace will resemble that of a blister.

  عن حذيفة بن اليمان رضي الله عنه قال: حَدَثَنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حدِيثَين قَد رَأَيتُ أَحَدَهُما وأنا أنتظر الآخر: حدثنا أنَّ الأمَانة نَزَلَت في جَذر قُلُوب الرِّجال، ثمَّ نزل القرآن فَعَلِموا مِن القرآن، وعَلِمُوا مِن السُنَّة، ثمَّ حدَّثنا عن رفع الأمانة، فقال: «يَنَامُ الرَّجُلُ النَّومَة فَتُقْبَضُ الأَمَانَةُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، فَيَظَلُّ أَثَرُهَا مِثلَ الوَكْتِ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ النَّومَةَ فَتُقبَض الأَمَانَة مِن قَلْبِه، فَيَظَلُّ أَثَرُها مِثل أَثَر المَجْلِ، كَجَمْرٍ دَحْرَجْتَهُ عَلى رِجْلِكَ فَنَفِطَ، فَتَرَاهُ مُنْتَبِراً وَلَيس فِيه شَيء»، ثم أَخَذ حَصَاةً فَدَحْرَجَه على رجله «فَيَصبَح النَّاس يَتَبَايَعُون، فَلاَ يَكَاد أَحَدٌ يُؤَدِّي الأَمَانَةَ حَتَّى يُقَال: إِنَّ فِي بَنِي فُلاَن رَجُلاً أَمِيناً، حَتَّى يُقَال للرَّجُل: مَا أَجْلَدَهُ! مَا أَظْرَفَه! مَا أَعْقَلَه! وَمَا فِي قَلبِه مِثْقَالُ حَبَّة مِن خَرْدَل مِنْ إيمان»، ولَقَد أتى عَلَيَّ زَمَان وما أُبَالي أَيُّكُم بَايعت: لئِن كان مُسلِمًا لَيَرُدَنَّه عَلَيَّ دِينه، وَإِن كان نصرانيا أو يهوديا ليَرُدنَّه عَلَيَّ سَاعِيه، وأَمَّا اليوم فَمَا كُنت أَبَايِعُ مِنكُم إِلاَّ فُلاَنا وفُلاَناً».

  Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told us two Hadīths. I have seen one fulfilled, and I am waiting for the other. He told us: "A man will go to sleep and honesty will be taken out of his heart and only a trace of it will remain, like the trace of a dark spot. And a man will go to sleep again and the honesty will decrease further still, so its trace will resemble that of a blister, as when an ember is dropped on one's foot and makes it swell. One would see it swollen but there would be nothing inside it." He took a small stone and rolled it on his leg. He then continued: "People will be carrying out their trades, but there will hardly be a trustworthy person. It will be said: 'In such-and-such tribe there is an honest man.' And later it will be said about some man: 'What a wise, polite, and strong man he is,' even though he will not even have faith equal to a mustard seed in his heart." No doubt, there was a time when I did not mind dealing with any of you, because if he was a Muslim, his Islam would compel him to pay me what is due to me, and if he was a Christian, the Muslim official would compel him to pay me what is due to me, but today I will only deal with this person and that person from you.

• By the One in whose Hand my soul is, this world will not come to an end until a man passes by a grave, rolls over it and says: I wish I were in the place of the dweller of this grave, not due to religious reasons but due to (worldly) affliction

  عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّه -صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم-: «والذي نفسي بيده لا تذهب الدنيا حتى يمر الرجل على القبر، فَيَتَمَرَّغَ عليه ويقول: يا ليتني كنت مكان صاحب هذا القبر، وليس به الدِّينُ، ما به إلا البلاء».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “By the One in whose Hand my soul is, this world will not come to an end until a man passes by a grave, rolls over it and says: I wish I were in the place of the dweller of this grave, not due to religious reasons but due to (worldly) affliction.”

• The Hour will not occur until the Euphrates recedes uncovering a mountain of gold over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every hundred will get killed

  عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «لا تقوم الساعة حتى يحسر الفرات عن جبل من ذهب يُقْتَتَلُ عليه، فَيُقْتَلُ من كل مائة تسعة وتسعون، فيقول كل رجل منهم: لعلي أن أكون أنا أنجو». وفي رواية: «يوشك أن يحسر الفرات عن كنز من ذهب، فمن حضره فلا يأخذ منه شيئا».

Another narration states: “Soon the Euphrates will recede uncovering a treasure of gold. Whoever is present at this event should not take anything from it.”

• People will desert Madīnah, in spite of its being in its best condition, and it will only be inhabited by wild beasts and birds

  عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: سمعتُ رسولَ اللهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يقولُ: (يتركون المدينة على خير ما كانت، لا يَغْشَاهَا إلا العَوَافِي يريد -عوافي السِّباع والطير-، وآخِر من يُحْشَرُ راعيان من مُزَيْنَةَ، يُرِيدَانِ المدينةَ يَنْعِقَانِ بغنمهما، فيَجِدَانِها وُحُوشًا، حتى إذا بلغا ثَنِيَّةَ الوَدَاعِ خَرَّا على وُجوههما).

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People will desert Madīnah, in spite of its being in its best condition, and it will only be inhabited by wild beasts and birds. The last to die will be two shepherds from the Muzaynah tribe. They will enter Madīnah driving their sheep, but will find it full of wild beasts. When they reach Thaniyyat al-Wadā‘, they will fall on their faces.”

• A time will come when a man will go about with charity from his gold and not find anyone to receive it. One man will be seen being followed by forty women dependent upon him on account of the scarcity of men and the high number of women

  عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لَيَأْتِيَنَّ على الناس زمانٌ يَطُوفُ الرجلُ فيه بالصدقة من الذهب فلا يجد أحدا يأخذها منه، ويُرَى الرجلُ الواحدُ يَتْبَعُهُ أربعون امرأة يَلُذْنَ به من قِلَّةِ الرجال وكَثْرَةِ النساء».

  عن مرداس الأسلمي رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-: «يذهب الصالحون الأول فالأول، ويبقى حُثَالَةٌ كَحُثَالَةِ الشعير أو التمر لا يُبَالِيهُم الله بَالَةً».

  Mirdās al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Righteous people will go (die) one after another. Meanwhile, the dregs of people, like waste barley or dates, will remain. Allah will not raise them in esteem."

• An army will invade the Ka‘bah and when it reaches a desert, all of them will be swallowed up by the earth

  عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «يَغزُو جَيْشٌ الكَعْبَةَ فإذا كانوا بِبَيْدَاءَ من الأرضِ يُخْسَفُ بأَوَّلِهِم وَآخِرِهِم قالت: قلتُ: يا رسول الله، كيف يخسف بأولهم وآخرهم وفيهم أَسْوَاقُهُم وَمَنْ ليس منهم؟! قال: «يخسف بأولهم وآخرهم ثم يُبْعَثُونَ على نِيَّاتِهِم».

  ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An army will invade the Ka‘bah and when it reaches a desert, all of them will be swallowed up by the earth." She asked: "O Messenger of Allah, how will they be swallowed up by the earth while amongst them will be their marketeers and people not belonging to them?" He replied: "All of them will be swallowed up by the earth, then they will be resurrected for judgment according to their intentions."

• The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessing be upon him) mentioned the Anti-Christ one morning, (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and at other times important, till we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of date-palms

  عن النواس بن سمعان رضي الله عنه قال: ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الدجال ذات غداة، فخفض فيه ورفع حتى ظنناه في طائفة النخل. فلما رحنا إليه، عرف ذلك فينا، فقال: «ما شأنكم؟» قلنا: يا رسول الله، ذكرت الدجال الغداة، فخفضت فيه ورفعت، حتى ظنناه في طائفة النخل. فقال «غيرُ الدجال أخوفُني عليكم، إن يخرج وأنا فيكم فأنا حَجِيجُهُ دونكم، وإن يخرج ولستُ فيكم فامرؤ حجيج نفسه، والله خليفتي على كل مسلم. إنه شاب قَطَطٌ عينه طافية، كأني أُشَبِّهُهُ بعبد العُزَّى بن قَطَن، فمن أدركه منكم، فليقرأ عليه فواتح سورة الكهف؛ إنه خارج خَلَّةً بين الشام والعراق، فَعَاثَ يمينا وعاث شمالا، يا عباد الله فاثبتوا» قلنا: يا رسول الله، وما لبثه في الأرض؟ قال: «أربعون يوما: يوم كسنة، ويوم كشهر، ويوم كجمعة، وسائر أيامه كأيامكم» قلنا: يا رسول الله، فذلك اليوم الذي كسنة أتكفينا فيه صلاة يوم؟ قال: «لا، اقدروا له قدره». قلنا: يا رسول الله، وما إسراعه في الأرض؟ قال: «كالغيث استدبرته الريح، فيأتي على القوم، فيدعوهم فيؤمنون به ويستجيبون له، فيأمر السماء فتمطر، والأرض فتنبت، فتروح عليهم سارحتهم أطول ما كانت ذرى. وأسبغه ضروعا، وأمده خواصر، ثم يأتي القوم فيدعوهم، فيردون عليه قوله، فينصرف عنهم، فيصبحون مُمْحِلِينَ ليس بأيديهم شيء من أموالهم، ويمر بالخربة، فيقول لها: أخرجي كنوزك، فتتبعه كنوزها كَيَعَاسِيبِ النحل، ثم يدعو رجلا ممتلئا شبابا فيضربه بالسيف، فيقطعه جزلتين رمية الغرض، ثم يدعوه، فيقبل، ويتهلل وجهه يضحك، فبينما هو كذلك إذ بعث الله تعالى المسيح ابن مريم صلى الله عليه وسلم فينزل عند المنارة البيضاء شرقي دمشق بين مَهْرُودَتَيْنِ ، واضعا كفيه على أجنحة ملكين، إذا طأطأ رأسه قطر، وإذا رفعه تحدر منه جمان كاللؤلؤ، فلا يحل لكافر يجد ريح نفسه إلا مات، ونفسه ينتهي إلى حيث ينتهي طرفه، فيطلبه حتى يدركه بباب لد فيقتله، ثم يأتي عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم قوما قد عصمهم الله منه، فيمسح عن وجوههم ويحدثهم بدرجاتهم في الجنة، فبينما هو كذلك إذ أوحى الله تعالى إلى عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم : أني قد أخرجت عبادا لي لا يَدَانِ لأحد بقتالهم، فحَرِّزْ عبادي إلى الطُّور. ويبعث الله يأجوج ومأجوج وهم من كل حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُون، فيمر أوائلهم على بحيرة طَبَرِيَّةَ فيشربون ما فيها، ويمر آخرهم فيقولون: لقد كان بهذه مرة ماء، ويحصر نبي الله عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه حتى يكون رأس الثور لأحدهم خيرا من مئة دينار لأحدكم اليوم، فيرغب نبي الله عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه رضي الله عنهم إلى الله تعالى، فيرسل الله تعالى عليهم النَّغَفَ في رِقَابهم، فيُصبحون فَرْسَى كموت نفس واحدة، ثم يهبط نبي الله عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه رضي الله عنهم إلى الأرض، فلا يجدون في الأرض موضع شِبْرٍ إلا ملأه زَهَمُهُمْ ونَتَنُهُم، فيرغب نبي الله عيسى صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه رضي الله عنهم إلى الله تعالى، فيرسل الله تعالى طيرا كأعناق البُخْتِ ، فتحملهم، فتطرحهم حيث شاء الله، ثم يرسل الله عز وجل مطرا لا يكن منه بيت مَدَرٍ وَلا وَبَرٍ ، فيغسل الأرض حتى يتركها كَالزَّلَقَةِ ، ثم يقال للأرض: أنبتي ثمرتك، وردي بركتك، فيومئذ تأكل العِصَابَةُ من الرمانة، ويستظلون بِقَحْفِهَا ، ويبارك في الرسل حتى أن اللقحة من الإبل لتكفي الفئام من الناس؛ واللقحة من البقر لتكفي القبيلة من الناس، واللَّقْحَة من الغنم لتكفي الفَخِذَ من الناس؛ فبينما هم كذلك إذ بعث الله تعالى ريحا طيبة فتأخذهم تحت آباطهم. فتقبض روح كل مؤمن وكل مسلم؛ ويبقى شرار الناس يَتَهَارَجُونَ فيها تهارج الحمر، فعليهم تقوم الساعة».

  An-Nawwās ibn Sam‘ān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessing be upon him) mentioned the Anti-Christ one morning, (sometimes describing him) to be insignificant and at other times important, till we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of date-palms. We departed from the presence of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) but returned shortly after. He noticed that (concern) in us. So he said: "What is the matter with you?" We said: "O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned the Anti-Christ this morning, belittling him and mentioning his importance, till we thought that he might be amidst a cluster of the date-palms." He said: "It is not the Anti-Christ that I fear for you; if he were to appear while I am in the midst of you, then I will be his adversary on your behalf. And if he appears while I am not among you, then each man will have to fend for himself. Allah will take care of every Muslim after me. He is young, with curly hair, and his eyes protruding. I compare him to ‘Abd al-‘Uzza ibn Qatān. If anyone of you sees him, let him recite the initial verses of Sūrat al-Kahf. He will appear from what is between the Levant and Iraq, causing devastation toward the right and toward the left. O worshipers of Allah! Hold fast!" We said: "O Messenger of Allah, how long will he linger on the earth?" He said: "Forty days, a day like a year, a day like a month, a day like a week, and the remainder of his days are like your days." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you think that during the day that is like a year, the prayer of one day will be sufficient for us?" He said: "No; you will have to estimate it." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, how fast will he move on the earth?" He said: "Like a rain storm driven by the wind. He will come upon a people and call them, and they will deny him and reject his claims. Then he will leave them, and their wealth will follow him. They will awaken in the morning with nothing left. Then he will come upon a people and call them, and they will respond to him, believing in him. So he will order the heavens to bring rain, and it will rain, and he will order the land to sprout, and it will sprout. Their cattle will return to them with their coats the longest, their udders the fullest, and their stomachs the fattest. Then he will come upon some ruins, saying to it: ‘Bring me your treasures!’ He will turn to leave it, and it will follow him like drone bees. Then he will call a young man, full of youth, and he will strike him with the sword, cutting him into two pieces. Then he will call him, and he will come forward with his face beaming and laughing. So while he is doing that, ‘Īsa, the son of Mariyam (peace be upon him), will descend in eastern Damascus at the white minaret, wearing two garments lightly dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall of it, and when raises it, gems like pearls drop from him. His breath will not reach any disbeliever but that he will die, and his breath will reach as far as his sight. So he will pursue him (the Anti-Christ) and will catch up with him at the gate of Ludd, where he will kill him. Then people whom Allah will have protected will come to ‘Īsa, the son of Mariyam, and he will wipe their faces and inform them of their ranks in Paradise, it will be under such conditions that Allah will reveal to him: ‘I have brought forth from among My slaves such people against whom none will be able to fight; you take these people safely to At-Tūr.’ Then Allah will send Gog and Magog, and they will swarm down from every mound. The first of them will pass by the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them will pass, he will say: ‘There was once water there.’ ‘Īsa and his companions will then be besieged there (and they will be so hard pressed) that the head of an ox will be dearer to one of them than one hundred dinars is to one of you today. Prophet ‘Īsa and his companions will supplicate Allah, Who will send to them insects which will attack their (Gog and Magog) necks, and in the morning they will perish like one single person. Prophet ‘Īsa and his companions will then come down to the earth (from the mountain they were on), and they will not find on the earth as much space as a single span that is not filled with their putrefaction and stench. Prophet ‘Īsa and his companions will then again beseech Allah, Who will send birds whose necks will be like those of Bactrian camels, and they will carry them and throw them where Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which no house of clay or hair will keep out, and it will wash the earth until it will appear like a mirror. Then the earth will be told to bring forth its fruit and restore its blessing and, as a result thereof, a group of persons will be able to eat from one pomegranate and seek shelter under its skin, and a cow will give so much milk that a whole party will be able to drink it. And a camel will give so much milk that a whole tribe will be able to drink from it, and sheep will give so much milk that a whole family will be able to drink from it; and at that time, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will soothem even under their armpits, and it will take the life of every Muslim, and only the wicked people will survive, and they will commit adultery like monkeys, and those are the people to whom the Last Hour will come."

• Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour

  عن عوف بن مالك رضي الله عنه ، قال: أتيتُ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة تبوك وهو في قُبَّة من أَدَم، فقال: «اعدُد ستًّا بين يدي الساعة: موتي، ثم فتح بيت المقدس، ثم مُوتانٌ يأخذ فيكم كقُعَاص الغنم، ثم استفاضة المال حتى يُعطى الرجل مائة دينار فيظل ساخطا، ثم فتنة لا يبقى بيتٌ من العرب إلا دخلته، ثم هُدْنة تكون بينكم وبين بني الأصفر، فيغدرون فيأتونكم تحت ثمانين غاية، تحت كل غاية اثنا عشر ألفا».

  ‘Awf ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) during the battle of Tabūk, while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said: "Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death; the conquest of Jerusalem; a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep; the increase of money to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred dinars, he will not be satisfied; an affliction which no Arab house will escape; and a truce between you and Banu al-Asfar, who will betray you and march on you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers."

• 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

  عن أبي نَضْرَة، قال: كنا عند جابر بن عبد الله فقال: يُوشِك أهلُ العراق أن لا يُجبى إليهم قَفِيز ولا درهم، قلنا: من أين ذاك؟ قال: من قِبل العَجَم يمنعون ذاك، ثم قال: يُوشك أهل الشام أن لا يُجبى إليهم دينار ولا مُدْي، قلنا: من أين ذاك؟ قال: من قِبل الروم، ثم سكت هُنيَّة، ثم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «يكون في آخر أمتي خليفة يَحثي المال حَثْيا، لا يَعُدُّه عددا» قال قلتُ لأبي نَضرَة وأبي العلاء: أتَرَيان أنه عمر بن عبد العزيز، فقالا: لا.

  Abu Nadrah reported: We were in the company of Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh and he said: "It may soon happen that the people of Iraq may not send their Qiffīz 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 then said: " It may soon happen 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 (Jābir ibn Abdullāh) kept quiet for a while and then reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) 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 (the reporter) asked Abu Nadrah and Abu Al-‘Alā' if they refer to ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz, and they both answered in the negative.

  Nāfi‘ ibn ‘Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in a battle. Some people came to him from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woolen clothes and they met him on a hillock. They stood while the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting. I said to myself: "Go and stand between them and him, lest they should assassinate him." Then I said [to myself] that he was probably having a private conversation with them. However, I went to them and stood between them and him. I kept to my memory four words that he (the Prophet) said: which I count on my fingers: "You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will conquer it; then Persia and Allah will conquer it; then you will attack the Byzantines and Allah will conquer them; then you will attack the Anti-Christ and Allah will conquer him." Nāfi' said: ''O Jābir, we think the Anti-Christ will not appear until the Byzantines are conquered."
