It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: A beast will appear, with the staff of Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, and the seal of Sulaiman (Solomon), peace be upon him. It will mark the faces or noses of the disbelievers with that seal, and with that staff it will make the faces of the believers shine, until people will gather and sit together at a dining mat, and (because of this sign) they will recognize and say: O believer, O disbeliever! (Upon seeing this sign) they will say to each other: This one is a believer and this one is a disbeliever.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A beast will emerge, it will mark a sign on the noses of the people, and you will live long lives among them, until a man buys a camel. When someone asks him, "From whom did you buy this camel?" he will reply, "I bought it from one of those marked people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took me with him to a rural place near Makkah. There was dry land there, and sand around it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: From this place, a beast will emerge. There was a crack there about a span wide.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ayyash bin Abi Rabi‘ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Before the Day of Judgment, a wind will blow, and in it, the soul of every believer will be taken.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a hadith, in the beginning of which there is mention of the appearance of Dajjal, the descent of Allah’s Prophet Isa (peace be upon him), and the killing of Dajjal. In the middle, these words are also mentioned: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After that, Allah Almighty will send a pleasant wind from the direction of Syria, and whoever has even a mustard seed’s weight of faith in his heart, it will take his soul; so much so that if a believer is in the midst of a mountain, it will reach him there as well. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and after that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then only the worst people will remain, … … .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mirdas Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The righteous people will pass away one after another, until only the worthless and inferior people, like the leftover bad and inferior dates or barley, will remain. Allah Almighty will not care about these people at all.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A (caliph) will be given allegiance between the Black Stone and the Maqam Ibrahim, and the people of this House, that is, the people of this Ummah, will deem this House lawful (and will attack it), and when this happens, do not ask about the destruction of the Arabs of that time. Then the Abyssinians will come and demolish the Ka'bah brick by brick, after which this House will never be inhabited again. They will take out its treasures.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: In the last era, a man with thin shins will climb the Ka'bah and will demolish it.

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: A ruler from Abyssinia with thin shins will demolish the Kaaba, loot its treasures, and strip off its covering. It is as if I am seeing him even now—his head is bald, his shins are crooked, and he is striking this House with his pickaxe and shovel.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunayf, he says: I heard a companion stating that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not disturb the Abyssinians as long as they leave you alone, because the one who will extract the treasures of the Ka'bah will be an Abyssinian with thin shins.
