It was narrated from Zainab bint Jahsh that the Prophet (s.a.w) awoke from sleep, saying: "None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, woe to the Arabs from an evil that has approached. Today (a hole) like this has been opened in the barrier of Ya'juj and Ma'juj." And Sufyan gestured to indicate the size of the hole. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, will we be destroyed even though there are righteous people among us?" He said: ''Yes, if evil prevails:"

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ « لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ ». وَعَقَدَ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ عَشَرَةً. قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ قَالَ « نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخَبَثُ ».

It was narrated from Abi Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Today (a hole) like this has been opened in the barrier of Ya’juj and Ma’juj."

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ ». وَعَقَدَ وُهَيْبٌ بِيَدِهِ تِسْعِينَ.

It was narrated that 'Ubaidullah bin Al-Qibtiyyah said: Al-Harith bin Abi Rabi'ah, 'Abdullah bin Safwan and I entered upon Umm Salamah, the Mother of the Believers, and they asked her about the army which will be swallowed up by the earth. That was during the days of Ibn Az-Zubair. She said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Someone will seek refuge in the House (Ka'bah) and an army will be sent after him, then when they are on a plain they will be swallowed up by the earth." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about one who was forced (to join that army)?" He said: "He will be swallowed up with them, but on the Day of Resurrection he will be raised according to his intention." Abi Ja'far said: "It is the plain of Al-Madinah."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ قَالَ دَخَلَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمَا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَسَأَلاَهَا عَنِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِى يُخْسَفُ بِهِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِى أَيَّامِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَعُوذُ عَائِذٌ بِالْبَيْتِ فَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ ». فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ كَانَ كَارِهًا قَالَ « يُخْسَفُ بِهِ مَعَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ ». وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ هِىَ بَيْدَاءُ الْمَدِينَةِ.

It was narrated that Umayyah bin Safwan heard his grandfather 'Abdullah bin Safwan say: told me that she heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "An army will seek to attack this House, then when they are in a plain, the middle of them will be swallowed up by the earth, and the front (of the army) will call out to the back, then they will be swallowed up; and there will be no one left but one fugitive who will tell their story." A man said: "I bear witness that you are not telling a lie about Hafsah, and I bear witness that Hafsah did not tell a lie about the Prophet (s.a.w)."

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ صَفْوَانَ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَتْنِى حَفْصَةُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « لَيَؤُمَّنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ جَيْشٌ يَغْزُونَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوْسَطِهِمْ وَيُنَادِى أَوَّلُهُمْ آخِرَهُمْ ثُمَّ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَلاَ يَبْقَى إِلاَّ الشَّرِيدُ الَّذِى يُخْبِرُ عَنْهُمْ ». فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-

'Abdullah bin Safwan narrated from the Mother of the Believers that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Some people will seek refuge in this House, i.e. the Ka'bah, who do not have the strength, numbers or weapons (to protect themselves), and an army will be sent after them, then when they are in a plain; they will be swallowed up by the earth." Yusuf said: ''At that time the people of Ask-Sham were marching towards Makkah. 'Abdullah bin Safwan said:"By Allah, it is not this army."

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِى أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْعَامِرِىِّ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ أَخْبَرَنِى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « سَيَعُوذُ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ - يَعْنِى الْكَعْبَةَ - قَوْمٌ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ مَنَعَةٌ وَلاَ عَدَدٌ وَلاَ عُدَّةٌ يُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشٌ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ ». قَالَ يُوسُفُ وَأَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَسِيرُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ بِهَذَا الْجَيْشِ.قَالَ زَيْدٌ وَحَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَامِرِىُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِى ذَكَرَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was Startled in his sleep, and we said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you did something in your sleep 'that you did not do before.' He said: Strange it is, that some people Ummah will attack the House to kill a man of the Quraish who has sought refuge it the House. Then when they are in the plain, they will be swallowed up by the earth.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), there may be all sorts of people on the road. He said: 'Yes, among them will be those who are there by choice, those who were forced to join and travelers. They will all be destroyed as one, but they will be raised in different states; Allah will raise them according to their intentions."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحُدَّانِىُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَبِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى مَنَامِهِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا فِى مَنَامِكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَفْعَلُهُ. فَقَالَ « الْعَجَبُ إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أُمَّتِى يَؤُمُّونَ بِالْبَيْتِ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ لَجَأَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ ». فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الطَّرِيقَ قَدْ يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ. قَالَ « نَعَمْ فِيهِمُ الْمُسْتَبْصِرُ وَالْمَجْبُورُ وَابْنُ السَّبِيلِ يَهْلِكُونَ مَهْلَكًا وَاحِدًا وَيَصْدُرُونَ مَصَادِرَ شَتَّى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ ».

It was narrated from Usamah that the Prophet (s.a.w) looked out over one of the battlements of Al-Madinah and said: "Do you see what I see? I see the places of tribulation among your houses like the places where rain falls."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرُونَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَشْرَفَ عَلَى أُطُمٍ مِنْ آطَامِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « هَلْ تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى إِنِّى لأَرَى مَوَاقِعَ الْفِتَنِ خِلاَلَ بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَوَاقِعِ الْقَطْرِ ».

Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'There will be tribulations during that one who is sitting is better than one who is standing, and one who is standing is better than one who is walking, and one who is walking is better than one who is running. He who sees them Will be drawn to them, and whoever find a refuge from them, let him seek protection therein."'

حَدَّثَنِى عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَالْحَسَنُ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ عَبْدٌ أَخْبَرَنِى وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِى ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِى وَالْمَاشِى فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِى مَنْ تَشَرَّفَ لَهَا تَسْتَشْرِفُهُ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ فِيهَا مَلْجَأً فَلْيَعُذْ بِهِ ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'There will be tribulation during that the one who sleeps will be better than the one who is awake, and the one who is awake will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is running. Whoever finds a place of refuge, let him seek refuge therein."'

حَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَقْظَانِ وَالْيَقْظَانُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِى فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مَلْجَأً أَوْ مَعَاذًا فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ ».

'Uthman Ash-Shah-ham said: Farqad As-Sabakhi and I went to Muslim bin Abi Bakrah when he was in his land, and entered upon him. We said: 'Did you hear your father narrate any Hadith about tribulations?' He said: Yes, I heard Abu Bakrah narrate that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Verily there will be tribulations, then there will be tribulations during that one who is sitting will be better than one who is walking, and one who is walking is better than one who is running, During those tribulations, whoever has camels, let him stay with his camels, whoever has sheep, let him stay with his sheep; and whoever has land, let him stay on his land." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if he does not have camels, or sheep, or land?" He said: "Let him go to his sword and make it blunt with a stone, then let him try to find a way of escape if he can. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)?" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, what if I am forced to join one of the two ranks, or one of the two groups, and a man strikes me with his sword, or an arrow comes and kills me?" He said: "He will bear the burden of his sin and your sin, and he will be one of the people of the Fire:"
