It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution slowly and calmly. He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and, seeing me, said: O my Ummah! (Before the Day of Judgment) six major events will occur among you. The first thing is the death of your Prophet. Hearing this, it felt as if my heart flew out of its place. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is one. Then he said: And there will be such abundance of wealth among you that if someone is given ten thousand, he will consider it little and express displeasure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the second sign. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A tribulation will arise that will enter the house of each one of you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the third sign. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Deaths will occur in such abundance, just as sheep die due to a particular disease. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the fourth sign. And there will be a truce between you and Banu Asfar; they will maintain peace with you for the duration of a woman's pregnancy, that is, nine months, then they will betray you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the fifth sign. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And a city will be conquered; this will be the sixth sign. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Which city? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Constantinople.

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Six matters are among the signs of the Day of Judgment: (1) My death, (2) The conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis, (3) Widespread deaths among people like the plague among sheep, (4) The tribulation whose fire of battle will reach every Muslim household, (5) (Wealth will become so abundant that) if a man is given a thousand dinars, he will consider it little and express displeasure, and (6) The Romans’ breach of trust and disloyalty; they will march under eighty banners, and under each banner there will be twelve thousand men.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Awf bin Malik Ashja‘i Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam. He asked: Is it ‘Awf? I said: Yes. He said: Come in. I asked: Should I come in completely or partially? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Come in completely. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Awf! Count six major signs that will occur before the Day of Judgment. The first sign is my death. Upon hearing this, I began to weep, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began to console me. I said: This is one. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The second is the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem). I said: This is the second. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The third sign is that there will be so many deaths in my Ummah, just as sheep die in an epidemic. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the third, and the fourth sign is that there will be a great tribulation. This is the fourth, and the fifth is that wealth will become so abundant that when someone is given one hundred dinars, he will consider it little and express anger. He said: This is the fifth, and the sixth sign is that there will be a truce between you and Banu al-Asfar, but they (breaking the covenant) will come under the same banners. I asked: What is meant by“ghayah”? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It means a banner; under each banner there will be twelve thousand people. In those days, the center of the Muslims will be at a place called Ghutah in Damascus.

Khalid bin Khalid Yashkari says: When Tustar was conquered, I went to Kufa during those days. I entered a mosque and saw that people were sitting there in a circle. Among them was a slender man, whose front teeth or mouth was very beautiful; it seemed as if he was from Hijaz. I asked: Who is this gentleman? The people said: Do you not know him? I said: No. They told me that he is the companion of the Messenger of Allah, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him). Hearing this, I also sat down. He continued talking to the people. He also stated that people used to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, but I used to ask him about evil. People were surprised at this, but he said: The thing at which you are surprised, I will explain to you. When Islam came, such an environment was created that was different from the era of ignorance, while I had a considerable understanding of the Qur’an. People used to come and ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, but I used to ask about evil. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will there be an era of evil (and tribulations) after this good (i.e., guidance and Islam), just as there was before? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. I said: What will be the way to avoid it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sword. I said: After the sword has been used, will any part of Islam remain? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, but there will be internal fighting and outward peace. After that, callers to misguidance and deviation will appear openly. If in those days you see a caliph, then adhere to him, even if he harms your body and seizes your wealth; otherwise, die in such a state that you are clinging to the trunk of a tree. I said: Then what will happen? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the Dajjal will appear; he will have a river of water and also fire. Whoever enters his fire, for him there will be a definite reward (and salvation) with Allah, and all his sins will be forgiven. But whoever enters his river, he will be sinful and all his reward and merit will be lost. I said: What will happen after that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After that, the Hour (Day of Judgment) will come so quickly that the mare which gives birth in those days will not have been ridden yet when the Hour will be established. "Al-Sada'u min al-rijal" means "al-darb," that is, a man with little flesh. The question of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) about what will be the way to avoid this tribulation, and the answer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it will be the sword, Imam Qatadah interpreted this as referring to the apostasy that occurred during the era of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). "Imarah 'ala aqdha'in wa hudnah" means peace, and "al-dakhan" means inner hatred and impurity. When the narrator of the hadith, 'Abd al-Razzaq, was asked who explained these words, he said that Imam Qatadah did.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Will there be an era of evil (and tribulation) after this good (i.e., guidance and Islam), just as there was before? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hudhayfah! Keep reciting the Book of Allah and keep acting upon it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from me, but I repeated my question three times. I knew that if there would be good, I would follow it, and in case of evil, I would avoid it. Therefore, I asked again: Will there be an era of evil after this good? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, there will be blind tribulation, and in it there will be people who will be callers standing at the doors of Hell; whoever responds to them, they will throw him into Hell.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The signs of the Day of Judgment are like beads threaded on a string; when the string breaks, they fall one after another.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Among the signs of the Day of Judgment is that the shepherds of goats will become the leaders and rulers of the people, and the barefoot, naked, and hungry people will compete with each other in constructing buildings, and slave girls will give birth to their masters or mistresses.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Before the appearance of these six signs, do as many good deeds as you can: (1) the rising of the sun from the west, (2) the Dajjal, (3) the smoke, (4) the beast of the earth, (5) the state of every soul being concerned only with itself, and (6) the matter of the common people.

Abu Sarihah, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Asid Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in an upper room and we were talking below. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards us and asked: "What are you discussing?" The people said: "About the Hour (Day of Judgment)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until you see these ten signs: (1) The sinking of the earth in the East. (2) The sinking in the West. (3) The sinking in the Arabian Peninsula. (4) Smoke. (5) The Dajjal. (6) The Beast of the Earth. (7) The rising of the sun from the West. (8) The appearance of Gog and Magog. (9) A fire that will emerge from the farthest part of Aden and will drive people forward." Imam Shu’bah says: "I also heard from Furat that wherever people stop, that fire will also stop, and wherever they take a midday rest, it will also rest." Imam Shu’bah says: "Besides Furat, another man also narrated this hadith to me; he narrated from Abu Tufail, and Abu Tufail took it from Sayyiduna Abu Sarihah, but he did not narrate this hadith as being raised (marfu‘) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One of these two shaykhs also mentioned the descent of ‘Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) and the wind that will cast people into the sea as signs of the Hour."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The flourishing of Bayt al-Maqdis will be the ruin of Yathrib, the ruin of Yathrib will be the occurrence of bloodshed, and the bloodshed will be the conquest of Constantinople, and the conquest of Constantinople will be the emergence of the Dajjal. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on the thigh or shoulder of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: All these matters are as certain as your sitting here.
