If you wish, I will tell you a Hadith that Iheard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' They said: 'Did you(really) hear it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?' He said: 'Yes.I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he had sent an army ofthe Muslims to the idolaters. When they met them they fought themfiercely, and they (the idolaters) gave them their shoulders (i.e.,turned and fled). A man among my kin attacked an idolator man with aspear, and when he was defeated he said: "I bear witness that nonehas the right to be worshipped but Allah, I am a Muslim." But hestabbed him and killed him. He came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am doomed." He said "What isit that you have done?" one or two times. He told him what he haddone and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: "Why didn'tyou cut open his belly and find out what was in his heart?"

But I will never cause your nation to beoverwhelmed by famine that would destroy them all, and I will notgather their enemies against them (and destroy them) until theyannihilate one another and kill one another.' Once they start tofightamongst themselves, that will continue until the Day ofResurrection.What I fear most for my nation is misguiding leaders.Some tribesamong my nation will worship idols and some tribes amongmy nationwill join the idolaters.

Then his caller called out: "As-SalatuJami'ah (prayer is about to begin)." So we gathered, and theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and addressed us. He said: "Therehas never been a Prophet before me who was not obliged to tell hisnation of what he knew was good for them, and to warn against what heknew was bad for them. With regard to this nation of yours, soundness(of religious commitment) and well-being has been placed in itsearlier generations and the last of them will be afflicted withcalamities and things that you dislike. Then there will cometribulations which will make the earlier ones pale into significance,and the believer will say: 'This will be the end of me,' thenrelief will come. Then (more) tribulations will come and the believerwill say: 'This will be the end of me,' then relief will come.Whoever would like to be taken far away from Hell and admitted toParadise, let him die believing in Allah and the Last Day, and lethim treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever gives hisoath of allegiance to a ruler and gives a sincere promise, let himobey him as much as he can, and if another comes and challenges him,let them strike the neck (i.e., kill) the second one.'"

And the one who is sitting willbebetter than the one who is standing, and the one who is standingwillbe better than the one who is walking, and the one who iswalking willbe better than the one who is running.

Theydo notwithhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheldfrom thesky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall onthem. Theydo not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger,but Allahwill enable their enemies to overpower them and take someof what isin their hands.

He lookedat a tree on the farside of the valley and said: 'Call that tree.'So he called it, and itcame walking until it stood before him.

Oneof them kept the secretbut the other disclosed it and said: 'Ihave seen Khadir.' It wassaid: 'Who else saw him besides you?'He said: 'So-and-so.' (The otherman) was questioned but he keptsilent. According to their religion,the liar was to be killed. Thewoman who had kept the secret gotmarried, and while she was combingthe hair of Pharoah's daughter, shedropped the comb and said: 'MayPharoah perish!' (The daughter) toldher father about that. Thewoman had two sons and a husband. (Pharoah)sent for them, and triedto make the woman and her husband give uptheir religion, but theyrefused.

I wasvery shocked and saddened at that. Hesaid: 'Count that as the first.Then (will come) the conquest ofBaitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem); then adisease which will appear among youand cause you and your offspringto die as martyrs and will purifyyour deeds; then there will be(much) wealth among you, so that if aman were to be given one hundredDinar he would still bedissatisfied; and there will be tribulationamong you that will notleave any Muslim house untouched;* then therewill be a treatybetween you and the Romans, then they will betray youand marchagainst you with eighty banners, under each of which will betwelvethousand (troops).'"

When thebarefoot and nakedbecome leaders of the people, that is one of itsportents. Whenshepherds compete in constructing buildings, that isone of itsportents. (The Hour) is one of five (things) which no oneknows exceptAllah.' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited thewords: "Verily,Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of theHour, He sends downthe rain, and knows that which is in the wombs.(to the end of theVerse)."[31:34]

I thought that you werethe wisest man in Al-Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews andChristians read theTawrah and the Injil, but they do not act uponanything of what is inthem?'"

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:
"Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wearsout, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) ritesand charity are. The Book of Allah will be taken away at night, andnot one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be somepeople left, old men and old women, who will say: "We saw ourfathers saying these words: 'La ilaha illallah' so we say themtoo." Silah said to him: "What good will (saying): La ilahaillallah do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer,(pilgrimage) rites and charity are?" Hudhaifah turned away fromhis. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned awayfrom him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said:"O Silah! It will save them from Hell," three times.

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)told us two Ahadith, one of which I have seen, and I am still waitingfor the other. He told us: 'Honesty was preserved in the roots ofmen's hearts' – (One of the narrators) Tanafisi said: 'Meaningin the middle of men's hearts' – 'Then the Qur'an wasrevealed and we learned (it) from the Qur'an and the Sunnah.'Then he told us about its disappearance, saying; 'A man will go tosleep and honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only itstrace will remain, like spots without color. Then he will go to sleepagain and the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (fromhis heart) and leaving a trace like a blister, as when an embertouches your foot and raises a blister which has nothing inside.'"Then Hudhaifah picked up a handful of pebbles and rolled them on hisleg. He said: "People will engage in business with one another, butthere will hardly be any honest persons among them. Then it will besaid that in such and such a tribe there is an honest man, and a manwill be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, butthere will not be even a mustard seed of faith in his heart.""There was a time when I did not mind dealing with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him from cheating. But today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so."

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"WhenAllah wants to destroy a person, He takes away modesty from him, youwill only see him with the wrath of Allah upon him, and he will behated by people. When you only see him with the wrath of Allah uponhim, and hated by people, then honesty will be taken away from him,and when honesty is taken away from him, you will only see him as atraitor who is called such by others. When you only see him as atraitor who is called such by others, then mercy will be taken awayfrom him, and when mercy is taken away from him, you will only seehimas rejected and accursed, and when you only see him as rejectedandaccursed, then the bond of Islam will be taken away from him."

It was narrated that Hudhaifah bin Asid, Abu Sarihah, said:
"TheMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked out from a room, when we were talkingabout the Hour. He said: 'The Hour will not begin until ten signsappear: The rising of the sun from the west (place of its setting);Dajjal; the smoke; the beast; Gog and Magog people; the appearance of'Eisa bin Maryam(as), the earth collapsing three times - once in theeast, one in the west and one in the Arabian Peninsula; and fire thatwill emerge from the plain of Aden Abyan and will drive the people tothe place of Gathering, stopping with them when they stop at nightandwhen they stop to rest at midday."

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:
"Hasten to do good deeds (before) six things (happen): Therising of the sun from the west (place of its setting), the smoke,thebeast of the earth, Dajjal (False Christ), that which will happentoeach of you (death); and that which will happen to all people (theDayof Resurrection)."

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:
"My nation will pass through five stages. For forty years(theywill be) people of righteousness and piety. Then those whofollowthem, for the next one hundred and twenty years, will bepeople whoshow mercy to one another and uphold ties with oneanother. Then thosewho follow them for the next one hundred andsixty years will bepeople who will turn their backs on one anotherand sever ties withone another. Then there will be Harj after Harj(killing). Seekdeliverance, seek deliverance."

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Justbefore the Hour comes there will be transformations, the earthcollapsing, and Qadhf. (i.e. the throwing of stones perhaps as ameansof punishment – maybe it refers to landslides)."

It was narrated from Sahl bin Sa'd that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Atthe end of my nation there will be the earth collapsing,transformations, and Qadhf."

It was narrated from Nafi' that a man came to Ibn 'Umar and said:
"So-and-so sends his Salam to you." He said: "I have heard thathe hasintroduced innovations (into Islam).

When the army ofHajjajcame, we thought that they were (the ones mentioned in thisHadith). Aman said: "I bear witness that you did not attribute alie to Hafsahand that Hafsah did not attribute a lie to the Prophet(ﷺ)."

It was narrated from Safiyyah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"People will not stop attacking this House until an army attacks,until when they are in Baida', the first and the last of them willbeswallowed by the earth, and the middle of them will not besaved.'" Isaid: "What if there are those among them who wereforced (to join thearmy)?" He said: "Allah will resurrect themaccording to what is inthe hearts."

"The Prophet (ﷺ) mentionedthe army that would be swallowed up by the earth, and Umm Salamahsaid: 'O Messenger of Allah, perhaps there will be some among themwho were forced (to join them)?' He said: 'They will beresurrected according to their intentions.'"

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:
"The Beast will emerge and will have with it the seal ofSulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin 'Imran (as). It willmakethe faces of the believers shine with the staff, and will markthenoses of the disbelievers with the seal, until the inhabitants ofacluster of houses will gather together; then one will say 'Obeliever!' And to another 'O disbeliever.'"

'Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said:
"TheMessengerof Allah (ﷺ) took me to a place in the desert, nearMakkah, wherethere was arid land surrounded by sand. The Messengerof Allah (ﷺ)said: 'The Beast will emerge from this spot – spanby a span. (i.e,the size of that spot).'"

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"I heard the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) say: 'The Hour will not begin until the sun rises fromthewest (i.e. the place of its setting). When it rises, the peoplewillsee it, and everyone on (earth) will believe, but that will beat atime when faith will not benefit anyone who did not believebefore.'"

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) said:
"The first signs to appear will be at the risingof the sun from the west and the emergence of the Beast to thepeople, at forenoon.'"'Abdullah said: "Whichever of them appears first, the other will come soon after." 'Abdullah said: "I do not think it will be anything other than the sun rising from the west."

It was narrated from Safwan bin 'Assal that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:
"Towards the west (i.e., the place of the setting ofthesun) there is an open door, seventy years wide. That door willremainopen for repentance until the sun rises from this direction.When itrises from this direction, faith will not benefit any soulthat didnot believe before or earn anything good through its faith."

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said:
"The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ)said: 'The Dajjal (False Christ) is blind in his left eye andhasabundant hair. With him will be a Paradise and a Hell, but hisHell isParadise and his Paradise is Hell.'"

It was narrated that Abu Bakr Siddiq said:
"The Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) told us: 'Dajjal will emerge in a land in the east calledKhorasan, and will be followed by people with faces like hammeredshields.'"

It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu'bah said:
"No one askedtheProphet (ﷺ) about Dajjal more than I did." (One of thenarrators)Ibn Numair said (in his version): "(No one asked)more difficultquestions than I did." - "He said to me:'What are you asking abouthim?' I said: 'They say he will have foodand drink with him.' Hesaid: 'He is too insignificant before Allahfor that.'"

It was narrated that Fatimah bint Qais said:
"The Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he neverused toascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people werealarmed bythat, and some were standing and some were sitting. Hegestured tothem with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:)'By Allah, Iam not standing here for something that will benefityou, anexhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me andtold mesomething that prevented me from taking a rest because of thejoy anddelight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you.A cousinof Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an islandthat theydid not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the shipand set out.There they saw something black, with long eyelashes.They said to it:"What are you?" It said: "I amJassasah," They said: "Tell us." Itsaid: "I willnot tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather thereis thismonastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is aman therewho is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So theywent there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmlyshackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal.Hesaid to them: "Where have you come from?" They said:"From Sham." Hesaid: "How are the Arabs faring?"They said: "We are from among theArabs. What do you want to askabout?" He said: "What has this mandone who has appearedamong you?" They said: "(He has done) well. Hemade enemiesof some people, but Allah supported him against them andnow theyhave become one, with one God and one religion." He said:"Whathappened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good;weirrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "Whathappenedto the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" Theysaid: "They bearfruit every year." He said: "Whathappened to the Lake of Tiberias?"They said: "It overflowsbecause of the abundance of water." He gavethree deep sighs,then he said: "If I were to free myself from thesechains, Iwould not leave any land without entering it on these twofeet ofmine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." TheProphet (ﷺ) said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah,and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broadroad in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel(standing)over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day ofResurrection.'"

Nawwas bin Sam'an Al-Kilabi said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but alsoalarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palmtrees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the evening,hesaw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' Wesaid: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, andyou spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until wethought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said:'Thereare things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If heappearswhile I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf,and ifhe appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend forhimself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He(Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; Iliken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, lethim recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emergefrom Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right andleft. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger ofAllah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, onedaylike a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and therestof his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, onthatday which is like a year, will the prayers of one day sufficeus?' Hesaid: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).'We said:'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Likea raincloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to somepeople andcall them, and they will respond and believe in him. Thenhe willcommand the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will commandtheearth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flockswillcome back in the evening with their humps taller, their uddersfullerand their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he willcometo some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him,so hewill turn away from them and they will suffer drought and beleftwith nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and willsay:"Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and itstreasureswill follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call aman brimmingwith youth and will strike him with a sword and cut himin two. Hewill put the two pieces as far apart as the distancebetween an archerand his target. Then he will call him and he willcome with his faceshining, laughing. While they are like that, Allahwill send 'Eisabin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaretin the east ofDamascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Warsand then Saffron],resting his hands on the wings of two angels. Whenhe lowers his head,beads of perspiration will fall from it. Everydisbeliever who smellsthe fragrance of his breath will die, and hisbreath will reach as faras his eye can see. Then he will set out andcatch up with him (theDajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will killhim. Then the Prophet ofAllah 'Eisa will come to some people whomAllah has protected, and hewill wipe their faces and tell them oftheir status in Paradise. Whilethey are like that, Allah will revealto him: "O 'Eisa, I havebrought forth some of My slaves whom noone will be able to kill, sotake My slaves to Tur in safety."Then Gog and Magog will emerge andthey will, as Allah describes,"swoop down from every mound."[21:96]The first of themwill pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, thenthe last of themwill pass by it and will say: "There was water hereonce."The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will bebesieged thereuntil the head of an ox would be dearer to any one ofthem than onehundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, theProphet ofAllah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah.Then Allahwill send a worm in their necks and the next morning theywill alldie as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companionswill comedown and they will not find even the space of a hand spanthat isfree of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray toAllah, andHe will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactriancamels,which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills.ThenAllah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay orhair,and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (orasmooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forthyourfruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a groupof peoplewill eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will sufficethem, andthey will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless amilch-camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number ofpeople, anda milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and amilch-ewe willbe sufficient for a whole clan. While they are likethat, Allah willsend a pleasant wind which will seize them beneaththeir armpits andwill take the soul of every Muslim, leaving therest of the peoplefornicating like donkeys, and upon them will comethe Hour.'"

It was narrated from Nawwas bin Sam'an that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:
"The Muslims will use the bows, arrows and shieldsof Gogand Magog as firewood, for seven years.'"

It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said:
"The Messengerof Allah (ﷺ) addressed us, and most of his speech had to do withtelling us about Dajjal. He warned about him, and among the things hesaid was: 'There will not be any tribulation on earth, since the timeAllah created the offspring of Adam, that will be greater than thetribulation of Dajjal. Allah has not sent any Prophet but he warnedhis nation about Dajjal. I am the last of the Prophets, and you arethe last of the nations. He will undoubtedly appear among you. If heappears while I am among you, I will contend with him on behalf ofevery Muslim, and if he appears while I am not among you, then eachman must fend for himself and Allah will take care of every Muslim onmy behalf. He will emerge from Al-Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, andwill wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.I will describe him to you in a manner in which none of the Prophetshas described him before me. He will start by saying "I am aProphet," and there is no Prophet after me. Then a second timehe will say: "I am your Lord." But you will not see yourLord until you die. He is one-eyed, and your Lord is not one-eyed,and written between his eyes is Kafir. Every believer will read it,whether he is literate or illiterate. Part of his Fitnah will be thathe will have with him Paradise and Hell, but his Hell will be aParadise and his Paradise a Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire(hell), let him seek the help of Allah and recite the first Verses ofAl-Kahf, then it will be cool and safe for him, as the fire was forIbrahim. Part of his Fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin:"What do you think, if I resurrect your father and mother foryou, will you bear witness that I am your Lord?" He will say:"Yes." Then two devils will appear to him in the form ofhis father and mother and will say: "O my son, follow him, forhe is your Lord." And part of his Fitnah will be that he willoverpower a single soul and kill him, then he will cut him with a sawuntil he falls in two pieces. Then he will say: "Look at thisslave of mine; I will resurrect him now, then he will claim that hehas a Lord other than me." Then Allah will resurrect him and theevil one will say to him: "Who is your Lord?" and he willsay: "Allah is my Lord, and you are the enemy of Allah, you areDajjal. By Allah, I have never had more insight about you than I havetoday."(An addition) Abul-Hasan Tanafisi said: "Muharibi told us: 'Ubaidullah bin al-Walid Al-Wassafi told us, from 'Atiyyah, that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'That man will be the highest in status in my nation in Paradise'" - He said: "Abu Sa'eed said: 'By Allah, we did not think that man would be anyone other than 'Umar bin Khattab, until he passed away. -  Muharibi said: "Then we went back to the narration of Abu Rafi'." He said: - 'Part of his Fitnah will be that he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan and they will disbelieve in him, so all their flocks will perish and none will be left. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan who will believe in him, so he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so, until their flocks will come back in the evening of that day, bigger and fatter than they have ever been, with their flanks stretched and their udders full of milk. There will be no part of the earth left that he does not enter and prevail over, except for Makkah and Al-Madinah, for he will not approach them on any of their mountain paths but he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords, until he will stop at the red hill at the end of the marsh. Then Al-Madinah will be shaken with its people three times, and no hypocrite, male or female, will be left, all will come out to him. Thus it will be cleansed of impurity just as the bellows cleanses the iron of dross. And that day will be called the Day of Deliverance.'"Umm Sharik bint Abi 'akar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be that day?' He said: 'On that day they will be few, and most of them will be in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their leader will be a righteous man. When their leader has stepped forward to lead them in subh prayer, 'Eisa bin Maryam will come down to them. Their leader will step backwards so that 'Eisa can come forward and lead the people in prayer, but 'Eisa will place his hand between his shoulders and say to him: "Go forward and pray, for the Iqamah was given for you." Then their leader will lead them in prayer. When he has finished, 'Eisa (as), will say: "Open the gate." So they will open it and behind it will be Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews, each of them carrying an adorned sword and wearing a greenish cloak. When Dajjal looks at him, he will start to melt as salt melts in water. He will run away, and 'Eisa (as), will say: "I have only one blow for you, which you will not be able to escape!" He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak - no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal - except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak - except that it will say: "O Muslim slave of Allah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!""The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'His (Dajjal's) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (i.e., they will pass quickly). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?' He said: 'Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Eisa bin Maryam (as), will be a just judge and a just ruler among my nation. He will break the cross, slaughter the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and charity will be left. No one will be appointed to (collect the Zakah of) sheep and camels. Grudges and mutual hatred will disappear and the venom of every venomous creature will be removed, so that a baby boy will but his hand in a snake and it will not harm him, and a baby girl will make a lion run away, and it will not harm her; and the wolf will be among the sheep like their sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace just as a vessel is filled with water. The people will be united and none will be worshipped except Allah. War will cease and Quraish will no longer be in power. The earth will be like a silver platter, with its vegetation growing as it did at the time of Adam, until a group of people will gather around one bunch of grapes and it will suffice them, and a group will gather around a single pomegranate and it will suffice them. An ox will be sold for such and such amount of money, and a horse will be sold for a few Dirham.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why will horses be so cheap?' He said: 'They will never be ridden in war again.' It was said to him: 'Why will oxen be so expensive?' He said: 'Because all the land will be tilled. Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills.' It was said: 'What will the people live on at that time?' He said: 'Tahlil, Takbir, Tasbih and Tahmid. That will take the place of food for them.'"Abu 'Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said: "I heard Abul-Hasan Tanafisi say: 'I heard 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Muharibi say: "This Hadith should be sent to every teacher so that they can teach it to the children in the schools."

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"TheHour will not begin until 'Eisa bin Maryam comes down as a just judgeand a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolishthe Jizyah, and wealth will become so abundant that no one willacceptit."

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) said:
"Gog and Magog people will be set free and they willemerge as Allah says: "swoop(ing) down from every mound."[21:96]Theywill spread throughout the earth, and the Muslims will flee fromthemuntil the remainder of the Muslims are in their cities andfortresses,taking their flocks with them. They will pass by a riverand drinkfrom it, until they leave nothing behind, and the last ofthem willfollow in their footsteps and one of them will say: 'Therewas oncewater in this place.' They will prevail over the earth, thentheirleader will say: 'These are the people of the earth, and wehavefinished them off. Now let us fight the people of heaven!' Thenoneof them will throw his spear towards the sky, and it will comebackdown smeared with blood. And they will say: 'We have killed thepeople of heaven.' While they are like that, Allah will send a wormlike the worm that is found in the noses of sheep, which willpenetrate their necks and they will die like locusts, one on top ofanother. In the morning the Muslims will not hear any sound fromthem,and they will say: 'Who will sell his soul for the sake ofAllah andsee what they are doing?' A man will go down, havingprepared himselfto be killed by them, and he will find them dead, sohe will call outto them: 'Be of good cheer, for your enemy is dead!'Then the peoplewill come out and let their flocks loose, but theywill not haveanything to graze on except their flesh, and they willbecome very fatas if they were grazing on the best vegetation theyever found.'"

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:
"Gog and Magog people dig every day until, when they canalmostsee the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: "Goback andwe will dig it tomorrow." Then Allah puts it back,stronger than itwas before. (This will continue) until, when theirtime has come, andAllah wants to send them against the people, theywill dig until theycan almost see the rays of the sun, then the onewho is in charge ofthem will say: "Go back, and we will dig ittomorrow if Allah wills.'So they will say: "If Allah wills."Then they will come back to it andit will be as they left it. Sothey will dig and will come out to thepeople, and they will drinkall the water. The people will fortifythemselves against them intheir fortresses. They will shoot theirarrows towards the sky andthey will come back with blood on them, andthey will say: "Wehave defeated the people of earth and dominated thepeople ofheaven." Then Allah will send a worm in the napes of theirnecksand will kill them thereby.'" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said:"By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the beasts of the earthwill grow fat on their flesh."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said:
"On the night onwhich the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey(Isra'), he met Ibrahim, Musa and 'Eisa, and they discussed the Hour.They started with Ibrahim, and asked him about it, but he did nothave any knowledge of it. Then they asked Musa, and he did not haveany knowledge of it. Then they asked 'Eisa bin Maryam, and he said:'I have been assigned to some tasks before it happens.' As for aswhen it will take place, no one knows that except Allah. Then hementioned Dajjal and said: 'I will descend and kill him, then thepeople will return to their own lands and will be confronted with Gogand Magog people, who will: "swoop down from everymound."[21:96] They will not pass by any water but they willdrink it, (and they will not pass) by anything but they will spoilit. They (the people) will beseech Allah, and I will pray to Allah tokill them. The earth will be filled with their stench and (thepeople) will beseech Allah and I will pray to Allah, then the skywill send down rain that will carry them and throw them in the sea.Then the mountains will turn to dust and the earth will be stretchedout like a hide. I have been promised that when that happens, theHour will come upon the people, like a pregnant woman whose familydoes not know when she will suddenly give birth.'"(One of the narrators) 'Awwam said: "Confirmation of that is found in the Book of Allah, where Allah says: "Until, when Gog and Magog people are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound (21:96)."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:
"While we were with theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ), some youngsters from Banu Hashim camealong.When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw them, his eyes filled with tearsand hiscolor changed. I said: 'We still see something in your facethat wedo not like (to see).' He said: 'We are members of aHousehold forwhom Allah has chosen the Hereafter over this world.The people of myHousehold will face calamity, expulsion and exileafter I am gone,until some people will come from the east carryingblack banners. Theywill ask for something good but will not be givenit. Then they willfight and will be victorious, then they will begiven what theywanted, but they will not accept it and will giveleadership to a manfrom my family. Then they will fill it withjustice just as it wasfilled with injustice. Whoever among you livesto see that, let him goto them even if he has to crawl over snow.'"

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)said:
"The Mahdi will be among my nation. If he lives for ashortperiod, it will be seven, and if he lives for a long period, itwillbe nine, during which my nation will enjoy a time of ease suchas ithas never enjoyed. The land will bring forth its yield and willnothold back anything, and wealth at that time will be piled up. Amanwill stand up and say: 'O Mahdi, give me!' He will say: 'Take.'"

It was narrated from Thawban that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Three will fight one another for your treasure, each one ofthem theson of a caliph, but none of them will gain it. Then theblack bannerswill come from the east, and they will kill you in anunprecedentedmanner." Then he mentioned something that I do notremember, then hesaid: "When you see them, then pledge yourallegiance to them even ifyou have to crawl over the snow, for thatis the caliph of Allah,Mahdi."

It was narrated from 'Ali that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Mahdi is one of us, the people of the Household. Allahwill rectify himin a single night."

It was narrated that Jubair bin Nufair said:
"Jubair said to me:'Let's go to Dhu Mikhmar, who was a man from among the Companionsofthe Prophet (ﷺ).' So I went with them and he asked him aboutthepeace treaty (with the Romans). He said: 'I heard the Prophet(ﷺ)say: "The Romans will enter into a peace treaty with you,then you andthey will fight one another as enemies, and you will bevictorious;you will collect the spoils of war and be safe. Then youwill comeback until you stop in a meadow with many hillocks. A manfrom amongthe people of the Cross will raise the Cross and will say:'The Crosshas prevailed.' Then a man among the Muslims willbecome angry andwill go and break the Cross. Then the Romans willprove treacherous(breaking the treaty) (and will gather) for thefierce battle."

He ('Ali) said: 'Maymy father and mother beransomed for you.' He said: 'You will fightBanu Asfar (theRomans) and those who come after you will fight them,until the bestof the Muslims go out to fight them, the people ofHijaz who do notfear the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah. Theywill conquerConstantinople with Tasbih and Takbir and will acquiresuch spoils ofwar as has never been seen before, which they willdistribute by theshieldful. Someone will come and say: "Masih hasappeared in yourland!" But he will be lying, so the one who takes(some of thespoils) will regret it, and the one who leaves it behindwill regretit too.'"
