Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until the sun rises from the west. When it rises from the west, all people will believe, but on that day, the faith of no person will benefit him who did not believe before, or who did not earn any good through his faith."

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 a fire appears which will illuminate the necks of the camels in Busra."

Rafi' bin Bishr Salmi narrates from his father that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Soon a fire will emerge from Habas, it will move like a swift camel, it will travel during the day and hide at night. It will be said: The fire has set out, so O people, you also set out. The fire is resting, so O people, you also rest. The fire has departed, so O people, you also depart. The fire will consume whoever it reaches."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were coming with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we camped at Dhul-Hulaifah. Some people hurried towards Madinah and spent the night there. When morning came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired about those people, and he was informed that they had already gone ahead to Madinah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did they hasten towards Madinah and the women? If they had left those women as they were (i.e., had not gone early last night), it would have been better. However, the people who stayed behind with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he spoke to them appropriately. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Alas! When a fire will emerge from the mountain of Waraq in Yemen, it will illuminate the necks of the camels, and that fire will descend upon Busra just as daylight descends." The narrator named Ali bin Madini says: The place called Busra is in Syria.

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 time contracts. A year will be like a month, a month will be like a week, a week will be like a day, a day will be like an hour (i.e., a whole watch), and an hour will be like the burning of a leaf or the burning of a palm leaf."

Sayyiduna Abu Suraiha Hudhaifah bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) looked towards us while we were talking. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What are you talking about?" We said: "We are talking about the Day of Judgment." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will not be established until you see ten signs before it: the Dajjal, the smoke, the descent of Sayyiduna Isa bin Maryam, Gog and Magog, the Beast of the earth, the rising of the sun from the west, and three sinkings of the earth—one sinking in the east, one sinking in the west, and one sinking in the Arabian Peninsula. And at the end of this, there will be a fire that will emerge from the pit of Aden (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words), will emerge from Aden (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words), will emerge from Yemen, and it will drive the people to the place of gathering."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, the Hour will not come until immorality and miserliness become widespread. The trustworthy person will be considered treacherous, and the treacherous person will be made trustworthy. The 'Da'ul' will be destroyed and 'Tahut' will become common." The people asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by 'Da'ul' and 'Tahut'?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Da'ul' refers to the elders and respected people among the people, and 'Tahut' refers to those people who remain under the feet of the people and are not known about." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Sa'id bin Jubair heard ahadith from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) at a time when he was ten years old.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will certainly be established while (two men’s) cloth is between them, but they will neither be able to wrap it nor finalize its sale. The Hour will certainly be established while a man is returning with his she-camel’s milk, but he will not be able to drink it. The Hour will certainly be established while a person is repairing his pond, but he will not be able to drink from it. The Hour will certainly be established while a man raises a morsel to his mouth, but he will not be able to eat it."

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 be established upon people while there will be a cloth between them, about which they will be concluding a deal, but they will neither be able to spread it nor fold it. The Hour will be established upon a person while there will be a morsel in his mouth, but he will neither be able to swallow it nor spit it out."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Harith is Muhammad bin Ziyad, and the narrator named Maisur is the son of Abdur Rahman.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The worst among the people will be those whom the Hour (Day of Judgment) finds alive, and (among the worst of people are) those who make graves places of prostration."
