It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When I narrate to you any hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would prefer to fall from the height of the sky rather than lie upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but not lie. And when I narrate to you something from someone else, then remember that in those days I was in conflict with people, and conflict is called tricks and strategies. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: In the last era, some people will appear who will be young and of little understanding. They will narrate sayings of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but their faith will not go beyond their throats. Wherever you find these people, kill them, because their killers will receive the reward for this killing on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon, from the eastern direction, such people will appear in my Ummah who will recite the Holy Qur'an in a very beautiful manner, but it will not go beyond their throats. Whenever a generation of them appears, it will be killed. Then, when their generation comes to the fore, it too will be killed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned them in this way ten times (and on the last occasion said): Whenever their generation appears, it will be eliminated, until the Dajjal will appear among their remaining people.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: In my Ummah, there will arise a people of evil deeds, who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. (Apparently, their deeds will be so good that) you will consider your own deeds insignificant compared to theirs. They will kill the people of Islam. When such people appear, you must kill them. After that, if they appear again, kill them. Then, if they appear again, kill them. There is glad tidings for the one who kills them, and glad tidings for the one who is killed by them. When their generation appears, Allah Almighty will destroy it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, repeated this statement twenty or even more times, and I kept listening.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: In the last era, some people will appear, their name will be Rafidah, they will abandon Islam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The Hour will not be established until thirty such Dajjals and liars appear, each of whom will claim that he is the Messenger of Allah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Before the Day of Judgment, many liars will appear; among them will be one from Yamamah, one from Sana'a (the 'Ansi), one from Himyar, and one will be the Dajjal. The trial of the last mentioned will be the greatest. Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, says: Some of my companions say that the number of these liars will be approximately thirty.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said anything about Musaylimah, people talked a lot about him. Eventually, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "As for what follows! You have talked a lot about this man, whereas the reality is that he is one of the thirty great liars who will appear before the Day of Judgment. And (remember that) the awe and fear of the Antichrist (Masih Dajjal) will reach every city in the world except Madinah Munawwarah. On every road leading to Madinah Munawwarah, there will be two angels appointed; they will keep the fear of the Antichrist away from this city."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing tribulations. He also mentioned many tribulations, including the tribulation of Ahlaas. A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the tribulation of Ahlaas? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tribulation of Ahlaas refers to a time of war, conflict, and destruction. Then the tribulation of prosperity and ease will emerge; its beginning, end, leadership, and responsibility will be in the hands of a man who, according to his own assumption, will be from me, but he will not be from me. My friends are only the pious people. Then people will make peace with a person who will not be permanently fit or worthy of kingship. After that, a tribulation consisting of dreadful calamity and disaster will appear; it will shake every individual of this Ummah. When it will be said that the tribulation has ended, it will intensify and come forth even more. A person will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening. People will split into two groups: one group will be of believers, in which there will be no hypocrisy, and the other group will be of hypocrites, in which there will be no faith. When the matter reaches this point, then await the Dajjal; he may come that very day, or he may come the next day.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen those days when a person used to give more importance to his Muslim brother than to a wealthy and rich man, but now I see that dinars and dirhams are dearer to us than our Muslim brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If you abandon jihad, become occupied with the tails of cows, and start engaging in ‘inah transactions, Allah Almighty will impose humiliation upon you, and that humiliation will not be removed from you until you repent to Allah Almighty and return to your original religion. And I also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Migration will continue towards the place of migration of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), until only the worst people remain on the rest of the earth. Their land will expel them, Allah Almighty’s spirit will abhor them, and the fire will gather them together with monkeys and pigs, surrounding them in one place, where they will take their midday rest, and the fire will rest there as well; where they spend the night, the fire will also spend the night there, and whoever among them falls, the fire will burn him. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: In my Ummah, there will arise a people of evil deeds, who will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go beyond their throats. (Apparently, their deeds will be so good that) you will consider your own deeds insignificant compared to theirs. They will kill the people of Islam. When such people appear, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them and also for the one who is killed by them. When their generation appears, Allah Almighty will destroy it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this twenty or more times, and I kept listening.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
