It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will say: 'O Adam!' He will say: 'O our Lord! I am present.' Allah Almighty will call out: 'Indeed, Allah commands you to separate a group from your descendants for Hell.' He will ask: 'O my Lord! What is the number of the group for the Fire?' Allah Almighty will say: 'From every thousand, separate nine hundred and ninety-nine (999) for Hell.' (Upon hearing this dreadful news) pregnant women will miscarry and children will become old, as Allah Almighty has said: «يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا أَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَى النَّاسَ سُكَارَى وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكَارَى وَلَـكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللَّـهِ شَدِيدٌ» 'And you will see the people as if they are intoxicated, while they are not intoxicated, but the punishment of Allah is severe.' (22: Al-Hajj: 2) This matter was so hard upon the Companions that their faces changed. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (encouraging them) said: '(On the Day of Resurrection, the proportion will be that) from Yajuj and Majuj, nine hundred and ninety-nine individuals, and from you, one individual.' Then (in comparison to the people of previous nations) your number will be like the white hair on the back of a black ox or the black hair on the back of a white ox. I hope that you will be a quarter of the inhabitants of Paradise." (Upon hearing this) we said Allahu Akbar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(I hope that) you will be a third of the inhabitants of Paradise." We said Allahu Akbar. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Half of the inhabitants of Paradise will be you people." (Upon hearing this) we said Allahu Akbar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was asleep when the treasures of the earth were brought to me, and two gold bangles were placed in my hands. They were burdensome for me and caused me distress and anxiety. It was revealed to me to blow on them, so I blew, and both (were removed) from my hands. I interpreted this dream to mean that they represent two liars between whom I am (i.e., who will appear in my time): (1) the master of Sana'a (i.e., Aswad Ansi) and (2) the master of Yamamah (i.e., Musaylimah the liar)."

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There will be twenty-seven extremely great liars and impostors in my Ummah, four of whom will be women. (Remember that) I am the Seal of the Prophets; there will be no prophet after me."

A man from Kufa was sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). He began narrating ahadith from Mukhtar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After thirty-five, thirty-six, or thirty-seven years, the mill of Islam will turn. After that, if anyone (remains astray and) is destroyed, he will be like those who were destroyed before, and if the religion remains established, it will remain established for seventy years." I said, and according to another narration, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Prophet of Allah! Is the seventy years in the future or including the past? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Including the past."

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Seek refuge with Allah from the era after seventy years and from the rule of boys."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The earth will throw out its pieces of liver (i.e., its treasures), and they will lie in the form of columns of gold and silver. The murderer will come and say: 'It was for this that I committed murder.' The one who broke ties of kinship will come and say: 'It was because of this that I broke ties.' The thief will come and say: 'It was because of this that my hand was cut off.' Then they will leave (those treasures) and take nothing from them."
