Narrated from Sayyiduna Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar, he used to say: O people of Iraq! I do not ask you about minor sins, nor do I ask about one who commits major sins. I heard my father, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The trial will come from here," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand towards the east, where the two horns of Satan appear. And you strike each other's necks (even though killing a believer is such a great sin), and Musa (peace be upon him) accidentally killed a man from the people of Pharaoh (not with the intention of killing, because a man does not die from a punch), so Allah the Exalted said about it: "You committed a killing, then We saved you from grief and tried you with a trial." (Surah Ta-Ha: 40)

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Kisra (the king of Persia) dies, there will be no Kisra after him, and when Caesar (the king of Rome) dies, there will be no Caesar after him (and these two lands will be conquered by the Muslims). By Him in Whose hand is my soul, the treasures of both of them will be spent in the way of Allah.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah رضي الله عنه says that I heard the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم say: Certainly, a group of Muslims or believers (the narrator is unsure) will open the treasury of Kisra, which is in the white palace. In Qutaibah’s narration, it is“Muslims”without any doubt.

Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah, the Exalted, folded the earth for me (that is, He gathered all the earth and presented it before me), so I saw its east and its west, and the rule of my Ummah will reach as far as the earth was shown to me. And two treasures, one red and one white, were given to me (meaning gold and silver, or the treasures of Caesar and Chosroes). And I asked my Lord that my Ummah not be destroyed by a general famine, and that no external enemy overpower them so as to annihilate them completely and uproot them (that is, so they are utterly wiped out). My Lord said: O Muhammad! When I make a decision, it is not reversed, and I have accepted your prayers, and I will not destroy your Ummah by a general famine, nor will I allow any external enemy, who is not from among them, to overpower them so as to uproot them, even if all the people of the earth were to unite against them (they would not be able to destroy them), until the Muslims themselves begin to destroy one another and imprison one another.

Sayyiduna Amir bin Sa’d narrates from his father Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came one day from ‘Aliyah (‘Aliyah are those villages which are outside Madinah) until he passed by the mosque of Banu Mu’awiyah. He entered it and prayed two rak’ahs, and we also prayed with him, and he made a very lengthy supplication to his Lord. Then he came to us and said: I asked my Lord for three things, but He granted me two and did not grant one. I asked my Lord that He not destroy my ummah by famine (i.e., the whole ummah by famine), so Allah accepted this supplication. And I asked that He not destroy my (entire) ummah by drowning, so Allah accepted this supplication as well. And I asked that Muslims not fight among themselves, but this was not granted.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will certainly follow the ways of the previous nations, span by span and cubit by cubit, to the extent that if they entered the hole of a lizard, you would also enter it." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "(If not them) then who else?"

`Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: This family from among the Quraysh will destroy the people. The Companions asked, "Then what do you command us to do?" He (peace be upon him) said: If the people keep away from them, that is better.

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Indeed, there will be many tribulations. Beware! There will be many tribulations. In them, the one who sits will be better than the one who walks, and the one who walks will be better than the one who runs. Beware! When tribulation and discord descend or occur, then whoever has camels should join his camels, and whoever has goats should join his goats, and whoever has land (for cultivation) should go to his land. A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! What should the one do who has neither camels nor goats nor land?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He should take his sword and strike its edge with a stone (i.e., destroy it so that nothing remains to encourage fighting), then adopt the path of protection and salvation as much as he is able. O Allah, have I conveyed Your command? O Allah, have I conveyed Your command? O Allah, have I conveyed Your command? A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if I am forced until I am taken to one of two ranks or two groups, and then someone strikes me with a sword or an arrow comes and kills me?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He will bear his own sin and yours, and will go to Hell.

Ahnaf bin Qais says: I set out with the intention to join that person (i.e., to join Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, against Muawiyah, may Allah be pleased with him). On the way, Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, met me and said, "O Ahnaf, where are you going?" I said, "I want to help the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "O Ahnaf! Return, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'When two Muslims confront each other with their swords, both the killer and the one killed are in Hellfire.'" I said, or someone else said, "O Messenger of Allah! The killer will go to Hell, but why the one who is killed?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "He also intended to kill his companion."

Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A rebellious group will kill Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him)."
