It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A (caliph) will be given allegiance between the Black Stone and the Maqam Ibrahim, and the people of this House, that is, the people of this Ummah, will deem this House lawful (and will attack it), and when this happens, do not ask about the destruction of the Arabs of that time. Then the Abyssinians will come and demolish the Ka'bah brick by brick, after which this House will never be inhabited again. They will take out its treasures.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: In the last era, a man with thin shins will climb the Ka'bah and will demolish it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A ruler from Abyssinia with thin shins will demolish the Kaaba, loot its treasures, and strip off its covering. It is as if I am seeing him even now—his head is bald, his shins are crooked, and he is striking this House with his pickaxe and shovel.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf, he says: I heard a companion stating that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not disturb the Abyssinians as long as they leave you alone, because the one who will extract the treasures of the Ka'bah will be an Abyssinian with thin shins.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is as if I am seeing that black man, whose toes are close together and heels are far apart, he is knocking down the stones of the Ka'bah one by one.
