It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Yazid, that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) told me about what will happen until the Hour begins, and there is nothing of that which I did not ask him about, except that I did not ask him what would drive the people of Al-Madinah out of Al-Madinah."

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ح وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ فَمَا مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ إِلاَّ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ إِلاَّ أَنِّى لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ مَا يُخْرِجُ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ

Abu Zaid, meaning, 'Amr bin Akhtab) said: "The Messenger of Allah led us in Fajr prayers, then he ascended the Minbar and addressed us until the time for Zuhr came. Then he came down and offered prayers. Then he ascended the Minbar, and addressed us until the time for 'Asr came. Then he came down and offered the ('Asr) prayers. Then he ascended the Minbar and addressed us until the sun set. He told us about what had happened, and what would happen, and the ones who have the best knowledge of that are the ones who memorized the most of it."

وَحَدَّثَنِى يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِىُّ وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِى عَاصِمٍ - قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ - أَخْبَرَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عِلْبَاءُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو زَيْدٍ - يَعْنِى عَمْرَو بْنَ أَخْطَبَ - قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الْفَجْرَ وَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الظُّهْرُ فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَخْبَرَنَا بِمَا كَانَ وَبِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ فَأَعْلَمُنَا أَحْفَظُنَا.

It was narrated from Shaqiq that Hudhaifah said: 'We were with 'Umar and he said: Who amongst you remembers the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about tribulation as he said it? I said: I do. He said: You are bold. What did he say? I said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "A man's Fitnah (trial) because of his family, his wealth, his own self, his child and his neighbor, these Fitan) may be expiated by As-Siyam (fasting), As-Slat (prayer), As-Sadaqah (charity) and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil." 'Umar said: this is not what I meant. Rather I meant than which will come like waves of the ocean. I said: What have you to do with that, O Commander of the Believers? For between you and that there is a door and that is closed: He said: Will the door be broken or opened? I said: No, it will be broken. He said: Then it will never be closed again. We said to Hudhaifah: ''Did 'Umar know who the door was?" He said: "Yes, just as he knew that before the morrow comes the night. I told him a Hadith in which there was nothing fabricated." We did not dare to ask Hudhaifah who the door was. We said to Masruq: "Ask him." So he asked him, and he said: "(It was) 'Umar."

It was narrated that Muhammad said: ''Jundab said: 'On the Day of Al-Ja'rah I came and saw a man sitting there. I said: "There will certainly be bloodshed here today." That man said: "No, by Allah." I said: "Yes, by Allah." He said: "No, by Allah." I said: "Yes, by Allah." He said: "No, by Allah. There is a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) that he told to me." I said: "What a bad companion you have been to me today. You heard me disagreeing with you when it was a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), but you did not stop me." Then I said: "What is this anger?" And I turned to him to ask him, and the man was Hudhaifah."'

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Hour will not begin until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, and the people fight for it. Out of every hundred, ninety-nine will be killed, and each man among them will say: 'Perhaps I will be the one who will be saved."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِىَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَحْسِرَ الْفُرَاتُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ يَقْتَتِلُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقْتَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ مِائَةٍ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِّى أَكُونُ أَنَا الَّذِى أَنْجُو ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Soon the Euphrates will uncover a treasure of gold, but whoever is there should not take any of it."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ السَّكُونِىُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَمَنْ حَضَرَهُ فَلاَ يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ».

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Nawfal said: I was standing with Ubayy bin Ka'b and he said: The leaders will continue to differ with regard to seeking worldly gain. I said: Yes. He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "Soon the Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold, and when the people hear of it, they will hasten towards it, and those who are near it will say: 'If we let the people, they will take it all away.' So they will fight for it, and out of every hundred, ninety-nine will be killed.'" Abu Kamil said in his Hadith: "Ubayy bin Ka'b and I stood in the shade of the battlement of Hassan.''

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ وَأَبُو مَعْنٍ الرَّقَاشِىُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِى مَعْنٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنِى أَبِى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ وَاقِفًا مَعَ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَقَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ النَّاسُ مُخْتَلِفَةً أَعْنَاقُهُمْ فِى طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا. قُلْتُ أَجَلْ. قَالَ إِنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ بِهِ النَّاسُ سَارُوا إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ لَئِنْ تَرَكْنَا النَّاسَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهُ لَيُذْهَبَنَّ بِهِ كُلِّهِ قَالَ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقْتَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ مِائَةٍ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ ». قَالَ أَبُو كَامِلٍ فِى حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ وَقَفْتُ أَنَا وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فِى ظِلِّ أُجُمِ حَسَّانَ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Al-'Iraq will withhold its Dirham and its Qafiz, Ash-Sham will withhold its Muday and Dinar, and Egypt will withhold its Irdabb and Dinar, and you will return to where you started, you will return to where you started, you will return to where you started.' The flesh and bloods of Abu Hurairah bear witness to that."

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ يَعِيشَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعُبَيْدٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ مَوْلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَنَعَتِ الْعِرَاقُ دِرْهَمَهَا وَقَفِيزَهَا وَمَنَعَتِ الشَّأْمُ مُدْيَهَا وَدِينَارَهَا وَمَنَعَتْ مِصْرُ إِرْدَبَّهَا وَدِينَارَهَا وَعُدْتُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَأْتُمْ وَعُدْتُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَأْتُمْ وَعُدْتُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَأْتُمْ ». شَهِدَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لَحْمُ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ وَدَمُهُ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Hour will not begin until the Byzantines camp at Al-A'maq or Dabiq, and an army composed of the best people on earth at that time will go out from Al-Madinah to meet them. When they arrange themselves in ranks, the Byzantines will say: 'Do not stand between us and those who took prisoners from us; let us fight them.' The Muslims will say: 'No by Allah, we will never let you reach our brothers.' Then they will fight them, and one-third will flee, whose repentance will never be accepted by Allah; one-third will be killed, and they are the best of martyrs before Allah; and one-third will prevail and will never succumb to any Fitnah, and they will conquer Constantinople. While they are dividing the spoils, having hung their swords on the olive trees, the Shaitan will shout out among them: Al-Masih has taken your place among your families. So they will march, but that will be false news. When they reach Ash-Sham, he will emerge, and while they are still preparing for battle, drawing up their ranks, the Iqamah for prayer will be called, and 'Eisa bin Mariam will descend, and will lead them. When the enemy of Allah sees him, he will melt as salt melts in water. If he left him alone, he would still melt until he was destroyed, but Allah will kill him by his hand, and he will show them his blood on his lance."

Musa bin 'Ulayy narrated that his father said: In the presence of 'Amr bin Al-'As, Al-Mustawrid Al-Qurashi said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "The Hour will begin when the Byzantines are the most prevalent of people." 'And said to him: Watch what you are saying. He said: I say that which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He said: As you say that, indeed they have four qualities: They are the most patient of people at times of tribulation; they are the quickest to recover after a calamity; they are the quickest to regroup and attack after a defeat; and they are the best of them to the poor, orphans and weak. And a fifth good quality is that they are most resistant of the oppression of kings.
