It is narrated from Hazrat Tawoos that he said: The rulers were mentioned in the presence of Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). One of them sat on his knees for battle; he raised his head so much that I had not seen anyone taller than him in the house. Hazrat Tawoos says: I heard Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) saying, "Do not make yourself a trial for the oppressing people." So he lowered himself until I could not see anyone smaller than him in the house.

It is narrated from Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani that he said: Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud, Hazrat Sa'd, Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and Hazrat Ammar gathered and began discussing the upcoming tribulation. Hazrat Sa'd said: As for me, I will remain in my house and will not go out. Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud said: I am upon what you have said. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: I am also upon the same. Hazrat Ammar said: But I will be in the midst of it; I will strike it on its big nose.

It is narrated from Ibrahim Taimi that he said: Hazrat Harith bin Suwaid was in an army, and he said: Beware of the tribulations, for they have surely appeared. A man said: You also went out with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He replied: Where will there be an Imam like Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)?

It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b that it was said: Every nation has a dog, so fear Allah; its evil will not harm you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jundub bin Abdullah that he said regarding tribulations: Whoever stares fixedly towards it... it will destroy him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr that he said: ...The time is near when food items will not be carried to Madinah on pack saddles, and the food for those living there will be fulfilled from there itself. Whoever has land, crops, or livestock should remain behind their tails at the edges of the clouds, and when you see buildings rising higher than Mount Sala', then remain there.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr that he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was returning from a journey. When he approached Madinah Munawwarah, the people hurried with their flags. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent a message to them and they were brought to him. He asked, "What made you hurry?" They replied, "Did you not grant us permission?" He said, "No, nor did I give any such indication. But you hastened towards the women of Madinah." Then he said, "A time will come when a fire will appear from the direction of Jabal Waraq, and because of this fire, the necks of the camels sitting in Bark al-Ghamad of Aden will become brighter than the light of day."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that Abdullah bin Salam asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) which is the first sign among the signs of the Day of Judgment. He replied, "Gabriel has just informed me that surely a fire will gather them from the east."

It is narrated from Hazrat Umar that he said: O people! Migrate to Habsha. Fire will emerge from the valleys of Bani Ali, which will come from the direction of Yemen and will gather the people together. It will move when the people move, and it will stop when they sleep, until it gathers the watchmen and brings them to Busra. And if a man falls, it will stop until it catches him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Dhahhak that he said regarding the saying of Allah Almighty: (YURSALU ‘ALAYKUMA UWAZUN MIN NARIN WA NUHAS) (A flame of fire and smoke of copper will be sent upon you), (what is meant by this is) that there will be a fire which will emerge from the west and will gather the people, until it will even gather the monkeys and pigs. It will spend the night wherever they spend the night, and will be present at noon wherever they are at noon.
