Abu Ubaidah bin Hudhaifah narrates: I was inquiring about the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him). He was present beside me. I did not go to him to ask, then I went to him and inquired. So he informed me: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent, I disliked him the most. Then I set out until I reached a far-off land near the territory of the Romans. I thought, if I go to this man, if he is a liar, this will not remain hidden from me, and if he is truthful, I will follow him. So I came. When I arrived in Madinah, people started peeking at me. They said: ‘Adi bin Hatim has come. ‘Adi bin Hatim has come. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to me: O ‘Adi bin Hatim, accept Islam, you will be safe. I said: I have my own religion. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: I know more about your religion than you. He said this two or three times, then he said: Are you not the chief of your people? I replied: Yes. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked: Do you not take a quarter of the war booty? I replied: Yes. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Then this is not permissible for you in your religion. Sayyiduna ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I felt ashamed at this, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: O ‘Adi bin Hatim, accept Islam, you will be safe. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: I think (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words), I believe, or as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: You are not accepting Islam because you see around me people who are needy. Soon, a woman will ride from Hira without anyone’s protection until she performs tawaf of the Ka‘bah, and the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz will be opened for us, and wealth will become abundant, until a person will wish that someone would accept his wealth as charity from him.

Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw a woman who rode from Hira without anyone’s protection until she performed tawaf of the Ka‘bah, and I was among the first army that attacked the treasures of Kisra bin Hurmuz in Mada’in, and I swear by the name of Allah that the third thing will also certainly come true which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told me.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes abundant among you. It will not be widespread until a person who owns wealth will desire that someone accept his charity from him, to the extent that he will present it before someone, and the one to whom it is presented will say: Now I have no interest in it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes abundant and increases, to the extent that a person will take out the zakat of his wealth but will not find anyone who will accept it from him."

Abu Nadrah reports: We were present with Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both). He said: Soon the situation in Iraq will be such that not a single qafeez (measure of grain) or a single dirham will come to them. We asked: For what reason will this happen? He said: This will be because of the non-Arabs; they will not let it come. Then he said: Soon the situation of the people of Sham will be such that not a single dinar or a single mudd (measure) will come to them. We asked: From whom will this be? He replied: This will be because of the Romans. Then he remained silent for a while, then he said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last part of my Ummah, there will be a caliph who will give handfuls of wealth without counting."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: O Jabir, have you gotten married? I replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Have you used carpets? I replied: Where would we get carpets from? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Soon you will have them.

Sayyiduna Talhah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Previously, when a person would come to Madinah Munawwarah, if he had a friend there, he would stay with his friend, and if he had no friend, he would stay at the platform of Safa. The narrator says: I was also among those who stayed at the platform of Safa. The narrator states: Every day, a mudd (measure) of dates used to come to us from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One day, after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) finished the prayer and said salam, one of us addressed him in a loud voice and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! The dates have burned our stomachs. The narrator says, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went towards the pulpit. He ascended it and praised Allah Almighty. Then he mentioned the (difficulties) faced by his people, until the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There have passed over me and my companion more than ten days in which we had nothing to eat except barir. (The narrator says:) Barir means the fruit of the peelu tree.

(The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:) Then we came to our Ansari brothers, and most of their food was dates. They supported us in this matter. By Allah! If I had bread and meat for you, I would feed you that as well, and soon a time will come upon you. (The narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words:) Whoever among you reaches that time, people will wear (fine clothes) like the coverings of the Ka'bah, and morning and evening, bowls (containing various kinds of food) will be brought to them.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came riding on a donkey. He seated me behind him, then he said: O Abu Dharr, what do you think if people are afflicted with such severe hunger that you are not even able to get up from your bed to reach the mosque, then what will you do? Sayyiduna Abu Dharr replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you should protect yourself. Then he said: O Abu Dharr, what do you think if people are struck by such a severe death that the house is with the person, then what will you do? Sayyiduna Abu Dharr replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you should be patient. (Then he said:) O Abu Dharr, what do you think if people start killing each other until the place of Ahjar Zayt is filled (with blood). (The narrator says:) This is a place in Madinah Munawwarah, then what will you do? Sayyiduna Abu Dharr replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you should stay in your house and close your door. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is your opinion if I am still not left alone? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then go to those with whom you have a connection (i.e., go to your tribe) and stay among them. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Should I take up my weapon? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In that case, you will become a partner with those people in this matter. If you fear that the flash of the sword will frighten you, then place the edge of your cloak over your face, so that person will bear the burden of his and your sin (who kills you).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Abu Talib became ill and the Quraysh came to visit him. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also came to visit him. Near his bedside, there was a place for a man to sit. Abu Jahl got up and sat there. Those people complained to Abu Talib about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said: "Your nephew criticizes our gods." Abu Talib said: "O my nephew, what is the reason that the people of your tribe are complaining about you?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "O uncle! I want to unite them on one word, because of which the Arabs will be subservient to them and the non-Arabs will pay them jizya." They asked: "What is that word?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah)." So those people stood up and said: "Do you want to make all the gods into one god?" The narrator says: So regarding this, this verse was revealed: " Saad. By the Qur'an, full of reminder." up to " Indeed, this is a very astonishing thing."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A group of Muslims will surely conquer the treasures of the family of Kisra."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When the treasures of Persia and Rome are conquered for you, what condition will you be in?" Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: "We will remain as Allah Almighty has commanded us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will come face to face with one another, you will envy one another, you will turn your backs on one another, you will bear malice against one another, then soon you will go towards the poor emigrants and some of them you will make ride on the necks of others."
