It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The signs (of the Hour) are like beads strung on a thread; when the thread is cut, they follow one after another." Khalid bin al-Huwayrith said: We were sitting in a gathering in the morning, and Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) was there, and there was also a woman of Banu al-Mughirah named Fatimah. She heard Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: "That is Yazid bin Mu'awiyah." The woman asked: O Abdullah bin Amr! Do you find it written like this in the Book (the revealed scriptures)? He said: I do not find him by his name, but I find (by description) a man who will be from the family tree of Mu'awiyah; he will shed blood, treat wealth as lawful, and demolish this House (the Ka'bah) stone by stone. If that time comes in my lifetime, so be it; otherwise, remember me. The narrator said: The woman's house was on Mount Abu Qubays. When the time of al-Hajjaj and Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and she saw the House being demolished, she said: May Allah Almighty have mercy on Abdullah bin Amr; he had already told us about this.
