It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The days were presented to me (in their specific forms), among them was the day of Friday, which was like a white glass, and in its middle was a black dot. I said: What is this? It was said to me: This is the Day of Resurrection."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing tribulations. He (peace be upon him) also mentioned many tribulations, including the“Fitnah of Ahlaas.”A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the Fitnah of Ahlaas? He (peace be upon him) said:“The Fitnah of Ahlaas refers to a time of fighting and chaos. Then the fitnah of prosperity and ease will emerge, its beginning and leadership will be in the hands of a man who will claim to be from me, but he will not be from me. My friends are only the pious. Then people will make peace with a man who will not be permanently fit for kingship nor worthy of it. After that, a tribulation containing dreadful calamity and affliction will appear, which will shake every individual of this Ummah. When it will be said that the tribulation has ended, it will intensify even more. A person will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening. People will split into two groups: one group will be of believers, in which there will be no hypocrisy, and the other group will be of hypocrites, in which there will be no faith. When the matter reaches this stage, then await the Dajjal; he may come that very day or the next.”

Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when a man said: O Messenger of Allah! People have made horses worthless, abandoned weapons, and started saying: Now there is no more jihad, now fighting has ended. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned his face and said: "These people are speaking contrary to the truth. Now, right now, fighting has begun. A group from my Ummah will always fight upon the truth. Allah, the Exalted, will continue to turn the hearts of people for them, and will provide sustenance for them (in the form of war booty) from His servants, until the promise of Allah comes to pass. (Remember that) goodness will remain hanging in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. Revelation is coming to me: I am going to die, I am not going to remain, you people will follow after me in groups, and you will shed each other's blood. (Remember that) Syria is the origin of the homes of the believers."

Someone asked Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): Abu al-Abbas! Can a murderer repent? Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was astonished and asked: What are you saying? He repeated his question. Ibn Abbas again asked: What are you saying? This happened two or three times. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: How can his repentance be accepted? I heard your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "(On the Day of Resurrection) the murdered person will come, holding his head with one hand and grabbing the collar of the murderer with the other hand. Blood will be gushing from the veins of the murdered person. He will bring the murderer to the Throne and say to the Lord of the worlds: He killed me. Allah Almighty will say to the murderer: You are ruined, and then he will be sent to Hell."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has refused to accept the repentance of the killer of a believer."

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit says: When this verse was revealed: "Those who do not call upon any other god along with Allah, nor do they kill a soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right." (__QUR_N__ Surah Al-Furqan: 68), we were greatly surprised at the leniency and flexibility given in this verse. Six months passed, then this verse was revealed: "Whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein forever, and Allah is angry with him and has cursed him... till the end." (__QUR_N__ Surah An-Nisa: 93)

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Shaddad bin Aws! When you see people gathering treasures of gold and silver, then recite this supplication frequently: 'O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in religion and determination upon guidance, and I ask You for those matters that make Your mercy obligatory and Your forgiveness necessary. I ask You for gratitude for Your blessings and for worshipping You in a good manner. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue, and I ask You for every good that You know, and I seek refuge in You from every evil that You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for all those sins that You know. Surely, You are the Knower of the unseen.'"

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! When Allah sends His punishment upon the people of the earth, and among them are righteous people, will they (the righteous) also be destroyed along with the evil ones? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Aisha! When Allah sends His punishment upon those who deserve it, and among them are righteous people, then they too will be afflicted with the same punishment as them, then they will be resurrected according to their intentions and deeds."

Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) «إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» woke up from sleep saying this. I said: O Messenger of Allah! What happened to you? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "A group from my Ummah is being swallowed up (by the earth); they will follow a man who will attack Makkah. Allah, the Exalted, will protect Makkah and will cause all of them to be swallowed up by the earth. Their place of destruction will be the same, but their points of emergence (from the earth) will be different, because among them will be some people who came (not willingly, but) under compulsion."

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were returning from a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and we camped at the place of Dhul-Hulaifah. Some people hastened to go towards Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spent the night there, and we were with him. When morning came, he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked about them (i.e., where are they)? It was informed that they had hurried towards Madinah. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "They have hastened towards Madinah and towards women. Soon these people will leave Madinah, even though it would be much better for them." Then he said: "If only I knew, when the fire will emerge from the mountains of Yemen, it will illuminate the necks of the camels sitting in Busra, just as they are seen in the brightness of the day."
