حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُنْكَدِرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي مَسْخٌ، وَقَذْفٌ، وَخَسْفٌ، وَيُبْدَأُ بِأَهْلِ الْمَظَالِمِ.

Hatim said: al-Hasan ibn Ja‘far related to us; al-Munkadir ibn Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir related to us, from his father, from Jabir, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “At the end of my community there will be transformation, pelting, and the earth swallowing people; it will begin with those who have committed injustices.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The terms describe transformation, pelting (with stones), and the earth swallowing people.
مَسْخٌ، وَقَذْفٌ، وَخَسْفٌ
These terms refer to forms of punishment, but the exact English rendering of qadhf and khasf may vary by context.
Are these descriptive terms preferable to a more literal transliteration?
