It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufayl al-Sakuni (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: We were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man came and said: O Prophet of Allah! Has food been brought to you from the sky? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, heated food was brought to me." He asked: Was any of it left over? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He asked: What was done with it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was raised up to the sky. And it is being revealed to me that I will remain among you only a short while, and you too will remain after me only a short while; rather, you will remain until you say (in weariness): 'When will it be? When will it be?' Then you will come in scattered groups and destroy one another. And before the Hour there will be a severe death (plagues) and years of earthquakes." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but the two Shaykhs did not record it in their books.
