It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "It is near that evil will be sent down upon you from the sky until it reaches the wilderness." He was asked, "O Abu Abdullah, what is this wilderness?" He replied, "Desolate land."

It is narrated from Abu Tufail that a man from the tribe of Banu Muharib, who was called Amr bin Sula’i, came to Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him),“O Abu Abdullah, tell us what you have seen and witnessed.”Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“O Amr bin Sula’i, tell me about Muharib—are they from Mudar?”He replied,“Yes.”So Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“Indeed, Mudar will continuously kill every believer and put Muslims into trials until Allah, His angels, and the believers will fight them, until, despite their abundance everywhere, they will not be able to defend themselves. Tell me about Muharib—are they from Qais Ailan?”He said,“Yes.”He (Hudhaifa) said,“When you see the tribe of Ailan, when they have come to Syria, then protect yourself.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O group of Mudar, come close! By Allah, you will kill every believer and put them into trials until Allah, His angels, and the believers will fight against you, to the extent that despite your abundance everywhere, you will not be able to defend yourselves. His companions asked: When we are in such a state, why would we do this? He replied: Surely, there will be a leader among you, and there will be some who will go ahead among you, like those who go ahead among horses.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The tribe of Mudar will not leave any believing servant of Allah except that they will either put him into tribulation or kill him, until Allah, the angels, and the believers will fight them, to the extent that they will not be able to defend themselves." A man said to him, "O Abu Abdullah, you are saying this even though you also belong to the tribe of Mudar." He replied, "I am saying what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Verily, the people of Basra will not open any door of guidance, nor will they leave any door of misguidance, and the storm has been lifted from the entire earth except Basra.

Hazrat Rabee’ah bin Jushan narrates that he said: I went to the region of Syria and attended the gathering of Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr. He asked: Which people are you from? We replied: From the people of Basra. He said: O people of Basra, prepare for battle. We asked: With what? He said: With provisions and water skins. Today, the best wealth is those camels on which a man seats his family and on which he carries grain, and the best wealth is a strong-hoofed horse (this is the best wealth these days). By Allah, soon Banu Qantura will drive you out of Basra until they make you into a group. The narrator says: We asked: Who are Banu Qantura? He said: In the book, I find it written like this, and as for the rest, why this description has been given.
