It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that surely a time will come upon you in which the best among you will be the one who does not enjoin good. One of the people said, "Will such a time come upon us in which we will see evil and not stop it? No, by Allah, we will surely do so." The narrator says that Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) was pointing towards his eye with his finger and saying, "By Allah, you have lied." He said this three times. That man said, "I have lied and he has spoken the truth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Surely, a time will come upon you in which a person will wish for death, whether he is killed or he adopts disbelief, and surely a time will come upon you in which a person will wish for death without poverty or hunger.

Narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakrah, he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned a land called Basrah or Basirah, on one side of which there is a river called Dijlah (Tigris), with many date palms. There, the Banu Qantura will descend (who are referred to as the Turks, and according to the statement of Hakim, by this is meant the Christians of Rome). People will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin and will be destroyed; the second group will take their souls and disbelieve; and the third group will leave their children behind and fight. Their slain will be martyrs, and Allah Almighty will grant victory to those who remain.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Hour will not be established until you fight with people whose shoes will be their hair, and the Hour will not be established until you fight with people who will have small eyes.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Day of Judgment will not be established until you fight with people whose shoes will be made of hair, and the Day of Judgment will not be established until you fight with people whose eyes will be small, whose noses will be small, as if their faces are like shields placed one above the other.

It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that my companions will be martyred in great numbers.

It is narrated from Usaid bin Hudair that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the Ansar: "Soon after me, you will see that others will be given preference over you, so be patient until you meet me at the Pond."

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabi' bin Khuthaym that he said: When the time of martyrdom of Hazrat Husayn came, he said, "O Allah! You will judge between Your servants concerning that in which they are differing."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ghuraif that we were twelve thousand in number at the place of Maskan in the vanguard of Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), in such a state that we were longing for death. Due to the intense fighting with the people of Syria, drops (of blood) were dripping from our swords. Abu Amratah was our commander. Abu Ghuraif says: When the news of the reconciliation between Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Muawiyah reached us, it was as if our backs were broken with grief and anger at this news. The narrator Abu Ghuraif said: When Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Kufa, one of us, whose kunyah was Abu Amir, stood up and said, "Peace be upon you, O humiliator of the believers!" Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "O Abu Amir, do not say this, but I disliked that I should kill them for the sake of seeking rule."

It is narrated from Hazrat Riyah bin Harith that he said: After the death of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and delivered a sermon before the people. He praised and glorified Allah, then said: Surely, that which is to come is near. Undoubtedly, the command of Allah is bound to happen, even if people dislike it. By Allah, I do not like that I should gain even as much as a grain of millet from the affair of the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in which even a little blood has been shed, knowing that this affair will not bring me any benefit from things that harm me. So, join your mounts.
