حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ كُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَشُجَّ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَعَلَ الدَّمُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ خَضَبُوا وَجْهَ نَبِيِّهِمْ بِالدَّمِ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ [سورة آل عمران آية 128] .

On the Day of Uhud, a molar of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was broken and he was wounded. Blood started pouring down his face, and he started to wipe his face and say: “How can any people prosper if they soak the face of their Prophet with blood when he is calling them to Allah?” Then Allah revealed: “Not for you is the decision.”[3:128]

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام،‏‏‏‏ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ حَزِينٌ؟ قَدْ خُضِّبَ بِالدِّمَاءِ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَعَلَ بِي هَؤُلَاءِ وَفَعَلُوا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةً؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ أَرِنِي ،‏‏‏‏ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْوَادِي،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ادْعُ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةَ فَدَعَاهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَتْ تَمْشِي حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ فَرَجَعَتْ حَتَّى عَادَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ حَسْبِي .

“One day, Jibril (علیہ السلام) came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was sitting in a sorrowful state with his face soaked with blood, because some of the people of Makkah had struck him. He said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ He said: ‘These people did such and such to me.’ He said: ‘Would you like me to show you a sign?’ He said: ‘Yes, show me.’ He looked at a tree on the far side of the valley and said: ‘Call that tree.’ So he called it, and it came walking until it stood before him. He said: ‘Tell it to go back.’ So he told it, and it went back to its place. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘That is sufficient for me.’”

It was narrated that Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْحُذَيْفَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْصُوا لِي كُلَّ مَنْ تَلَفَّظَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا،‏‏‏‏ وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّ مِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلُوا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَابْتُلِينَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا مَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Count for me all those who have uttered (the word of) Islam.” We said: “O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us when we number between six and seven hundred?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.” He (the narrator) said: And we were tested, until a man among us would only pray in secret.

It was narrated from Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ وَجَدَ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا جِبْرِيلُ،‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ الطَّيِّبَةُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذِهِ رِيحُ قَبْرِ الْمَاشِطَةِ وَابْنَيْهَا وَزَوْجِهَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ بَدْءُ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ الْخَضِرَ كَانَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ مَمَرُّهُ بِرَاهِبٍ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ فَيَطَّلِعُ عَلَيْهِ الرَّاهِبُ فَيُعَلِّمُهُ الْإِسْلَامَ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْخَضِرُ زَوَّجَهُ أَبُوهُ امْرَأَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَعَلَّمَهَا الْخَضِرُ وَأَخَذَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا تُعْلِمَهُ أَحَدًا،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ لَا يَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلَّقَهَا ثُمَّ زَوَّجَهُ أَبُوهُ أُخْرَى،‏‏‏‏ فَعَلَّمَهَا وَأَخَذَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا تُعْلِمَهُ أَحَدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَكَتَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا،‏‏‏‏ وَأَفْشَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْأُخْرَى،‏‏‏‏ فَانْطَلَقَ هَارِبًا حَتَّى أَتَى جَزِيرَةً فِي الْبَحْرِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلَانِ يَحْتَطِبَانِ فَرَأَيَاهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَكَتَمَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَأَفْشَى الْآخَرُ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْخَضِرَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ رَآهُ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فُلَانٌ:‏‏‏‏ فَسُئِلَ فَكَتَمَ،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ فِي دِينِهِمْ أَنَّ مَنْ كَذَبَ قُتِلَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتَزَوَّجَ الْمَرْأَةَ الْكَاتِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ تَمْشُطُ ابْنَةَ فِرْعَوْنَ إِذْ سَقَطَ الْمُشْطُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ تَعِسَ فِرْعَوْنُ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخْبَرَتْ أَبَاهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ ابْنَانِ وَزَوْجٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَاوَدَ الْمَرْأَةَ وَزَوْجَهَا أَنْ يَرْجِعَا عَنْ دِينِهِمَا فَأَبَيَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي قَاتِلُكُمَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَا:‏‏‏‏ إِحْسَانًا مِنْكَ إِلَيْنَا إِنْ قَتَلْتَنَا أَنْ تَجْعَلَنَا فِي بَيْتٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَفَعَلَ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً فَسَأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ.

On the night when he (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) noticed a good fragrance and said: “O Jibril, what is this good fragrance?” He said: “This is the fragrance of the grave of the hairdresser and her two sons and her husband.” He said: “That began when Khadir, who was one of the nobles of the Children of Israel, used to pass by a monk in his cell. The monk used to meet him and he taught him Islam. When Khadir reached adolescence, his father married him to a woman. He taught her and made her promise not to teach it to anyone. He used not to touch women, so he divorced her, then his father married him to another woman, and he taught her and made her promise not to teach it to anyone. One of them kept the secret but the other disclosed it, so he fled until he came to an island in the sea. Two men came, gathering firewood, and saw him. One of them kept the secret but the other disclosed it and said: ‘I have seen Khadir.’ It was said: ‘Who else saw him besides you?’ He said: ‘So-and-so.’ (The other man) was questioned but he kept silent. According to their religion, the liar was to be killed. The woman who had kept the secret got married, and while she was combing the hair of Pharoah’s daughter, she dropped the comb and said: ‘May Pharoah perish!’ (The daughter) told her father about that. The woman had two sons and a husband. (Pharoah) sent for them, and tried to make the woman and her husband give up their religion, but they refused. He said: ‘I am going to kill you.’ They said: ‘It would be an act of kindness on your part, if you kill us, to put us in one grave.’ So he did that.” When the Prophet (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), he noticed a good fragrance and asked Jibril about it and he told him.”

It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عِظَمُ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلَاهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا،‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ يُوسُفَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The believer who mixes with people and bears their annoyance with patience will have a greater reward than the believer who does not mix with people and does not put up with their annoyance.”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ بُنْدَارٌ:‏‏‏‏ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ،‏‏‏‏ مَنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءَ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا،‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ كَانَ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي الْكُفْرِ،‏‏‏‏ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There are three things, whoever has them has found the taste of faith (One of the narrators) Bundar said: ‘The sweetness of faith; When he loves a man and only loves him for the sake of Allah. When Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else; and when being thrown into the fire is dearer to him than going back to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدٌ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحِمَّانِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنْ قُطِّعْتَ وَحُرِّقْتَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا تَتْرُكْ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا تَشْرَبْ الْخَمْرَ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ .

My close friend (ﷺ) advised me: “Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are cut and burned. Do not neglect any prescribed prayer deliberately, for whoever neglects it deliberately no longer has the protection of Allah. And do not drink wine, for it is the key to all evil.”

It was narrated from Abu Darda’ رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا غِيَاثُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّحَبِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جَابِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بَلَاءٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ .

“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘There is nothing left of this world except trials and tribulations.’”

Mu’awiyah رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ سَنَوَاتٌ خَدَّاعَاتُ،‏‏‏‏ يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَنْطِقُ فِيهَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ،‏‏‏‏ قِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الرَّجُلُ التَّافِهُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَامَّةِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There will come to the people years of treachery, when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيل الْأَسْلَمِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَتَمَرَّغَ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَقُولَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَكَانَ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ الدِّينُ إِلَّا الْبَلَاءُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, this world will not pass away until a man will pass by a grave, and will roll on it and say: ‘Would that I were in the place of the occupant of this grave!’ And the reason for that will not be any religious motive, rather it will be because of calamity.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يُونُسَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي:‏‏‏‏ مَوْلَى مُسَافِعٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَتُنْتَقَوُنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنْ أَغْفَالِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected (separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الشَّافِعِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْجَنَدِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَزْدَادُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا إِدْبَارًا،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا شُحًّا،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا الْمَهْدِيُّ إِلَّا عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Adhering to religion will only become harder and worldly affairs will only become more difficult, and people will only become more stingy, and the Hour will only come upon the worst of people, and the only Mahdi (after Muhammad (ﷺ)) is ‘Eisa bin Maryam.”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَصِينٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I and the Hour have been sent like these two,” and he held up his two fingers together.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ السَّاعَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ:‏‏‏‏ الدَّجَّالُ،‏‏‏‏ وَالدُّخَانُ،‏‏‏‏ وَطُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا .

The Prophet (ﷺ) looked out at us from a room, when we were talking about the Hour. He said: 'The Hour will not begin until there are ten signs: Dajjal, (False Christ), the smoke, and the rising of the sun from the west.'

It was narrated that Hudhaifah bin Asid رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ فِي خِبَاءٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَلَسْتُ بِفِنَاءِ الْخِبَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ادْخُلْ يَا عَوْفُ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ بِكُلِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِكُلِّكَ ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَوْفُ،‏‏‏‏ احْفَظْ خِلَالًا سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ،‏‏‏‏ إِحْدَاهُنَّ مَوْتِي ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَجَمْتُ عِنْدَهَا وَجْمَةً شَدِيدَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ:‏‏‏‏ إِحْدَى،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ دَاءٌ يَظْهَرُ فِيكُمْ يَسْتَشْهِدُ اللَّهُ بِهِ ذَرَارِيَّكُمْ وَأَنْفُسَكُمْ وَيُزَكِّي بِهِ أَموَالَكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ الْأَمْوَالُ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلَّ سَاخِطًا،‏‏‏‏ وَفِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ لَا يَبْقَى بَيْتُ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ هُدْنَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَغْدِرُونَ بِكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَسِيرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا .

“I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the campaign of Tabuk, when he was in a tent made of leather, so I sat in front of the tent. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Enter, O ‘Awf.’ I said, ‘All of me, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘All of you.’ Then he said: ‘O ‘Awf, remember six things (that will occur) before the Hour comes, one of which is my death.’ I was very shocked and saddened at that. He said: ‘Count that as the first. Then (will come) the conquest of Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem); then a disease which will appear among you and cause you and your offspring to die as martyrs and will purify your deeds; then there will be (much) wealth among you, so that if a man were to be given one hundred Dinar he would still be dissatisfied; and there will be tribulation among you that will not leave any Muslim house untouched;* then there will be a treaty between you and the Romans, then they will betray you and march against you with eighty banners, under each of which will be twelve thousand (troops).’”

Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى تَقْتُلُوا إِمَامَكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَتَجْتَلِدُوا بِأَسْيَافِكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَرِثُ دُنْيَاكُمْ شِرَارُكُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Hour will not begin until you kill your ruler and fight one another with swords, and your world is inherited by the worst of you.”

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ سَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْحُفَاةُ الْعُرَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْغَنَمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ،‏‏‏‏ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فِي خَمْسٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ سورة لقمان آية.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out one day to the people, and a man came to him and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be?’ He said: ‘The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking. But I will tell you of its portents. When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, that is one of its portents. When the barefoot and naked become leaders of the people, that is one of its portents. When shepherds compete in constructing buildings, that is one of its portents. (The Hour) is one of five (things) which no one knows except Allah.’ Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the words: “Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. (to the end of the Verse).”[31:34]

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ،‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ لَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي،‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَفْشُوَ الزِّنَا،‏‏‏‏ وَيُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَذْهَبَ الرِّجَالُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَبْقَى النِّسَاءُ،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً قَيِّمٌ وَاحِدٌ .

“Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which no one will tell you after me? I heard it from him (saying): ‘Among the portents of the Hour are that knowledge will be taken away and ignorance will prevail, illegal sex will become widespread and wine will be drunk, and men will disappear and women will be left, until there is one man in charge of fifty women.”

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى يَحْسُرَ الْفُرَاتُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقْتَتِلُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقْتَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ تِسْعَةٌ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Hour will not begin until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold and people fight over it, and out of every ten, nine will be killed.’”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَفِيضَ الْمَالُ،‏‏‏‏ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ ثَلَاثًا.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Hour will not begin until wealth becomes abundant and tribulations appear, and Harj increases.” They said: “What is Harj, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Killing, killing, killing,” three times.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ؟ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ،‏‏‏‏ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا،‏‏‏‏ وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ،‏‏‏‏ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ،‏‏‏‏ أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ،‏‏‏‏ لَا يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا .

“The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned something and said: ‘That will be at the time when knowledge (of Qur’an) disappears.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and teach it to our children, until the Day of Resurrection?’ He said: ‘May your mother be bereft of you, Ziyad! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al- Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and Christians read the Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon anything of what is in them?’”

It was narrated that Ziyad bin Labid رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَدْرُسُ الْإِسْلَامُ كَمَا يَدْرُسُ وَشْيُ الثَّوْبِ،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى لَا يُدْرَى مَا صِيَامٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا صَلَاةٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا نُسُكٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَيُسْرَى عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَا يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُ آيَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَتَبْقَى طَوَائِفُ مِنَ النَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْعَجُوزُ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ أَدْرَكْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ،‏‏‏‏ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُهَا ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ صِلَةُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا صَلَاةٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا صِيَامٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا نُسُكٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا،‏‏‏‏ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا صِلَةُ تُنْجِيهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ،‏‏‏‏ ثَلاثًا.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wears out, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites and charity are. The Book of Allah will be taken away at night, and not one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be some people left, old men and old women, who will say: “We saw our fathers saying these words: ‘La ilaha illallah’ so we say them too.” Silah said to him: “What good will (saying): La ilaha illallah do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites and charity are?” Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ turned away from his. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned away from him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said: “O Silah! It will save them from Hell,” three times.

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ وَوَكِيعٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّامٌ يُرْفَعُ فِيهَا الْعِلْمُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَنْزِلُ فِيهَا الْجَهْلُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَكْثُرُ فِيهَا الْهَرْجُ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْهَرْجُ الْقَتْلُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Just before the Hour, there will be days when knowledge will disappear, ignorance will become widespread and there will be much Harj. And Harj means killing.”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامًا يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا الْجَهْلُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُرْفَعُ فِيهَا الْعِلْمُ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَكْثُرُ فِيهَا الْهَرْجُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْقَتْلُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “After you days will come when ignorance will become widespread, knowledge will disappear and there will be much Harj.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is Harj?” He said: “Killing.”

It was narrated from Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ that
