It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some people of this Ummah will spend the night (engrossed) in eating, drinking and amusement (play and frivolity), and they will wake in the morning having been transformed into swine. And certainly some tribes and households will be swallowed up by the earth, until people will wake in the morning and say: Tonight such-and-such a tribe was swallowed by the earth; tonight such-and-such a house sank into the earth. And certainly a rain of stones will be sent upon them as it was sent upon the people of Lut; this punishment will come upon some tribes and their houses. And a barren (destructive) wind will be sent upon them. (And all this punishment) will be because of their drinking wine, consuming usury (riba), wearing silk (by men), keeping singing girls and severing family ties (breaking relations with relatives)." The narrator says that he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned another trait as well, which I have forgotten. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim because of (the narration of) Ja'far; as for Farqad, the two Shaykhs did not record from him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A group of the Muslims will certainly conquer the white treasure of Kisra (Chosroes) - or he said: the treasure that is in the White Palace." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hasten to do good deeds before six things (appear): the rising of the sun from its place of setting, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast that will emerge from the earth (Dabbat al-Ard), the individual death of one of you (and its trial), and the Hour (its general trial)." Imam Muslim used Abdullah bin Rabah as evidence. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): I came to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and a man was with her. The man said: O Mother of the Believers, tell us something about the earthquake. She turned her face away from him. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: O Mother of the Believers, tell us about the earthquake. She said: O Anas, if I tell you about it, you will remain grieved (all your life), and when you are raised (on the Day of Resurrection), that same grief will be in your heart. I said: O my mother, tell us. She said: "Indeed, when a woman takes off her clothes anywhere other than her husband's house, she tears apart the veil that exists between her and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. And if she perfumes herself for anyone other than her husband, it will be a fire and a disgrace for her. So when, after this (immorality), people regard fornication as lawful, drink wines and play musical instruments, Allah Almighty will feel jealous in His heaven and will command (the earth) to quake with them. Then if they repent and desist (from these sins), well and good; otherwise it will be brought down upon them." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Will it be a punishment for them? She said: "(No, rather) it is mercy, blessing and admonition for the believers, while for the disbelievers it is an exemplary punishment, wrath and torment." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have not heard any hadith that brought me more joy than this hadith; rather, I (now) live in a state of joy, and when I am raised, that joy will be in my heart - or he said: in my soul. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one from me. I asked my Lord not to destroy my Ummah through famine, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to set over them an enemy from other than themselves (an alien people) (who would wipe them out), and He granted me that too. And I asked Him not to divide them into factions nor make them taste the fighting of one another, and He withheld that from me." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We have seen everything that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us about, except that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection it will be said to some men: Throw down your whips and enter Hell." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Khalid bin Urfutah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Khalid, after me there will certainly arise (ever new) calamities, trials and disputes. So if you are able to be the servant of Allah who is killed and not the one who kills, then do so." Ali bin Zayd al-Qurashi is alone in narrating this hadith from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi, and the two Shaykhs did not use Ali bin Zayd as evidence.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Jabir bin Atik that he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to us in Banu Mu'awiyah (which is one of the villages of the Ansar) and asked: Do you know where in this mosque of yours the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed? I said: Yes; and I pointed to a corner of it. Then he asked: Do you know what the three supplications were that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made here? I said: Yes. He said: Tell me about them. I said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that no enemy from other than themselves (an alien people) should overpower them, and that they should not be destroyed by famine, and both these supplications were accepted. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that there should be no fighting among themselves (civil war), and that was withheld. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the month of Ramadan there will be a mighty blast that will wake the sleeper and terrify the one who is awake. Then in Shawwal a group will appear. Then in Dhu al-Hijjah there will be killing, plunder and chaos. Then in Muharram the sanctities will be violated. Then in Safar there will be deaths. Then in Rabi' al-Awwal and Rabi' al-Akhir the tribes will quarrel among themselves. Then between Jumada and Rajab there will be most astonishing events. Then at that time (economic conditions will be such that) a she-camel laden with a saddle will be better than a fortress or village yielding a profit of one hundred thousand (dirhams or dinars)." The two Shaykhs used all the narrators of this hadith as evidence except Maslamah bin Ali al-Khushani. This hadith is gharib (unusual) in its text, and Maslamah is moreover among those whose narration cannot establish proof.

It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman: I visited Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill and propped him up against my chest. Then I supplicated: O Allah, grant Abu Hurayrah recovery. He said: 'Allahumma la tarji'ha' "O Allah, do not return it (to me) (that is, accept my supplication and grant me death)." I said again: O Allah, grant Abu Hurayrah recovery. He said again: 'Allahumma la tarji'ha' "O Allah, do not turn it back." I said a third time: O Allah, grant Abu Hurayrah recovery. He said the same again: 'Allahumma la tarji'ha' "O Allah, do not return it." Then he said: O Abu Salamah, if you are able to die, then die. I said: O Abu Hurayrah, we love life. He said: By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Abu Hurayrah! A time will certainly come upon the scholars when death will be dearer to one of them than red gold, and one of you will come to the grave of his brother and say (because of the distressing conditions): Would that I were in his place. This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.
