It is narrated from Hazrat Ka'b that he said: Soon a fire will emerge from Yemen which will drive people. In the morning, when they halt, it will halt with them at the same place, and wherever they stop to rest at noon, it will also stop with them there, and in the last part of the night when they travel, it will travel with them. When you hear about it, then go towards Syria.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas narrates from Hazrat Ka'b that he said: When you see that rain has been withheld, then know that people have withheld zakat, so Allah Almighty has withheld what He had (i.e., rain).

And when you see that adultery has become widespread, then know that usury has spread.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Suhan that he said: Salman said to me, "What will be your condition when there is a conflict between the Quran and the king?" I replied, "At that time, I will be with the Quran." He said, "At that time, Zaid, you will be very good." Abu Qurrah, who disliked tribulations, said, "At that time, I will sit in my house." Hazrat Salman said, "Even if you are among the servants, you will be with one of the two groups."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Wahb that it was said: When we returned from Nahrawan, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There were some people from Yemen who participated with us.

It is narrated from Abdullah, he said: Indeed, if a person is present at the time of an evil act and dislikes it, then he is like the one who was not present at the time of that evil.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Sabi’ that he said: Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon before us and said: This part will be made blood-soaked up to here, and by that he meant the part from the beard to the head. The people said: Tell us about this person so we may kill him. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, then you would kill for me a man who is not my killer. Then the people said: Appoint a caliph over us. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: No, rather I will leave you in the same state in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left you (i.e., without appointing a caliph). The people said: What will you say to your Lord when you meet Him? He replied: I will say, O Allah! When I was among them, You were also among them. If You had willed, You would have reformed their condition, and if You had willed, You would have worsened their condition.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amir bin Matar that he said: I was with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Soon you will see people who will sell their religion cheaply, just as a woman makes her private parts cheap. Remain steadfast on the way you are upon today, for it is the clear path. O Amir bin Matar, what will be your condition when people choose one path and the Qur'an has another path? With whom will you be among the two? I said: I will remain with the Qur'an, I will live with it and die with it. Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: At that time, you will be the only one.

It is narrated from Hazrat Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah, he said: Indeed, the people before you became confused and divided until they were destroyed. If any one of them was called from behind, he would answer from the front, and if he was called from the front, he would answer from behind.
