It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned
the army that would be swallowed up by the earth, and Umm Salamah
said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, perhaps there will be some among them
who were forced (to join them)?’ He said: ‘They will be
resurrected according to their intentions.’”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “On the night on
which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey
(Isra’), he met Ibrahim, Musa and ‘Eisa, and they discussed the Hour.
They started with Ibrahim, and asked him about it, but he did not
have any knowledge of it. Then they asked Musa, and he did not have
any knowledge of it. Then they asked ‘Eisa bin Maryam, and he said:
‘I have been assigned to some tasks before it happens.’ As for as
when it will take place, no one knows that except Allah. Then he
mentioned Dajjal and said: ‘I will descend and kill him, then the
people will return to their own lands and will be confronted with Gog
and Magog people, who will: “swoop down from every
mound.”[21:96] They will not pass by any water but they will
drink it, (and they will not pass) by anything but they will spoil
it. They (the people) will beseech Allah, and I will pray to Allah to
kill them. The earth will be filled with their stench and (the
people) will beseech Allah and I will pray to Allah, then the sky
will send down rain that will carry them and throw them in the sea.
Then the mountains will turn to dust and the earth will be stretched
out like a hide. I have been promised that when that happens, the
Hour will come upon the people, like a pregnant woman whose family
does not know when she will suddenly give birth.’”
(One of the narrators) ‘Awwam said: “Confirmation of that is found in the Book of Allah, where Allah says: “Until, when Gog and Magog people are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound (21:96).”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “The Beast will emerge and will have with it the seal of
Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin ‘Imran (as). It will
make
the faces of the believers shine with the staff, and will mark
the
noses of the disbelievers with the seal, until the inhabitants of
a
cluster of houses will gather together; then one will say ‘O
believer!’ And to another ‘O disbeliever.’”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “While we were with the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), some youngsters from Banu Hashim came
along.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw them, his eyes filled with tears
and his
color changed. I said: ‘We still see something in your face
that we
do not like (to see).’ He said: ‘We are members of a
Household for
whom Allah has chosen the Hereafter over this world.
The people of my
Household will face calamity, expulsion and exile
after I am gone,
until some people will come from the east carrying
black banners. They
will ask for something good but will not be given
it. Then they will
fight and will be victorious, then they will be
given what they
wanted, but they will not accept it and will give
leadership to a man
from my family. Then they will fill it with
justice just as it was
filled with injustice. Whoever among you lives
to see that, let him go
to them even if he has to crawl over snow.’”

‘Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said: “The
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) took me to a place in the desert, near
Makkah, where
there was arid land surrounded by sand. The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘The Beast will emerge from this spot – span
by a span. (i.e,
the size of that spot).’”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said: “The Mahdi will be among my nation. If he lives for a
short
period, it will be seven, and if he lives for a long period, it
will
be nine, during which my nation will enjoy a time of ease such
as it
has never enjoyed. The land will bring forth its yield and will
not
hold back anything, and wealth at that time will be piled up. A
man
will stand up and say: ‘O Mahdi, give me!’ He will say: ‘Take.’”

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The Hour will not begin until the sun rises from
the
west (i.e. the place of its setting). When it rises, the people
will
see it, and everyone on (earth) will believe, but that will be
at a
time when faith will not benefit anyone who did not believe
before.’”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: “The first signs to appear will be at the rising
of the sun from the west and the emergence of the Beast to the
people, at forenoon.’”
‘Abdullah said: “Whichever of them appears first, the other will come soon after.” ‘Abdullah said: “I do not think it will be anything other than the sun rising from the west.”

It was narrated from Safwan bin ‘Assal that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: “Towards the west (i.e., the place of the setting of
the
sun) there is an open door, seventy years wide. That door will
remain
open for repentance until the sun rises from this direction.
When it
rises from this direction, faith will not benefit any soul
that did
not believe before or earn anything good through its faith.”

It was narrated that Hudhaifah bin Asid, Abu Sarihah, said: “The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) looked out from a room, when we were talking
about the Hour. He said: ‘The Hour will not begin until ten signs
appear: The rising of the sun from the west (place of its setting);
Dajjal; the smoke; the beast; Gog and Magog people; the appearance of
‘Eisa bin Maryam(as), the earth collapsing three times – once in the
east, one in the west and one in the Arabian Peninsula; and fire that
will emerge from the plain of Aden Abyan and will drive the people to
the place of Gathering, stopping with them when they stop at night
and
when they stop to rest at midday.”
