It is narrated from Khalid bin Urfutah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Khalid, after me there will certainly arise (ever new) calamities, trials and disputes. So if you are able to be the servant of Allah who is killed and not the one who kills, then do so." Ali bin Zayd al-Qurashi is alone in narrating this hadith from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, and the two Shaykhs did not use Ali bin Zayd as evidence.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Jabir bin Atik that he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to us in Banu Mu'awiyah (which is one of the villages of the Ansar) and asked: Do you know where in this mosque of yours the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed? I said: Yes; and I pointed to a corner of it. Then he asked: Do you know what the three supplications were that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made here? I said: Yes. He said: Tell me about them. I said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that no enemy from other than themselves (an alien people) should overpower them, and that they should not be destroyed by famine, and both these supplications were accepted. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that there should be no fighting among themselves (civil war), and that was withheld. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the month of Ramadan there will be a mighty blast that will wake the sleeper and terrify the one who is awake. Then in Shawwal a group will appear. Then in Dhu al-Hijjah there will be killing, plunder and chaos. Then in Muharram the sanctities will be violated. Then in Safar there will be deaths. Then in Rabi' al-Awwal and Rabi' al-Akhir the tribes will quarrel among themselves. Then between Jumada and Rajab there will be most astonishing events. Then at that time (economic conditions will be such that) a she-camel laden with a saddle will be better than a fortress or village yielding a profit of one hundred thousand (dirhams or dinars)." The two Shaykhs used all the narrators of this hadith as evidence except Maslamah bin Ali al-Khushani. This hadith is gharib (unusual) in its text, and Maslamah is moreover among those whose narration cannot establish proof.
