The Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour

كتاب الفتن وأشراط الساعة

Chapter 18: The Hour Will Not Begin Until A Man Passes By Another Man's Grave And Wishes That He Was In The Place Of The Deceased, Because Of Calamity

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

You shall fight in the hours to come against a nation wearing shoes made of hair and faces like hammered shields, with red complexion and small eyes.

Abu Nadra reported

"We were in the company of Jabir b. 'Abdullah that he said it may happen that the people of Iraq may not send their qafiz 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 again said: There is the possibility 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 (Jabir b. Abdullah) kept quiet for a while and then reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having 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 said to Abu Nadra and Abu al-'Ala: Do you mean 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Aziz? They said: No (he would be Imam Mahdi).

This hadith hab been narrated by Sa'id with the same chain of transmitters.

Abu Sa'id reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) I said

There would be amongst your caliphs a caliph who would give handfuls of wealth to the people, but would not count it. In the narration transmitted on the authority of Ibn Hujr, there is a slight variation of wording.

Abu Sa'id and Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said

There would be in the last phase of the time a caliph who would distribute wealth but would not count.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Sa`id Khudri reported

One who is better than I informed me, that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to `Ammar as he was digging the ditch (on the ocassion of the Battle of the Ditch) wiping over his head: O son of Summayya, you will be involved in trouble and a group of the rebels would kill you.

This hadith has been transmitted on the same authority but with this variation that the hadith transmitted on the authority of Nabra (the words are)

One who is better than I informed me, and he was Abu Qatada, and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Khalid instead of the word 'bu'us' there is 'wayys' or 'ya wayys', i.e., " how sad it is".

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Umm Salama that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to 'Ammar

A group of rebels would kill you.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri.

Hammam b. Munabbih reported

This is what Abu Huraira reported from Allah's messenger (ﷺ) and in this connection he reported so many hadith (and one of them was this): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Kisra would die and then there would be no Kisra after him. Qaisar would die and there would be no Qaisar after him, but you will distribute their treasures in the cause of Allah.

Jabir b. Samura reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said

When Kisra would die there would be no Kisra after him; the rest of the hadith is the same as Abu Huraira reported.

Jabir b. Samura reported

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There would lie open for a group of Muslims, or for a group of believers, the treasures of the family of Kisra which would be in the white (palace). In a version of Qutaiba there is definitely the word "Muslim".

Jabir b. Samura reported

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a hadith like this.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying

You have heard about a city, one side of which is on land and the other is in the sea (Constantinople). They said: Allah's Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless seventy thousand persons from Bani lshaq would attack it. When they would land there, they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators) said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they would say for the second time: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest" and the second side would also fall, and they would say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and the gates would be opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves when a noise would be heard saying: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would leave everything there and go back.

Thaur b. Zaid has narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters.

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.
