Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established (1) till two big groups fight each other
whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and
the same religious doctrine, (2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim
that he is Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), (3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious
scholars) (4) earthquakes will increase in number (5) time will pass quickly, (6) afflictions will
appear, (7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase, (8) till wealth will be in abundance —- so abundant
that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat, and whenever he will present it
to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, ‘I am not in need of it, (9) till the people
compete with one another in constructing high buildings, (10) till a man when passing by a grave of
someone will say, ‘Would that I were in his place (11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when
the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam)
but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) ‘No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it
believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.’ (6.158) And the
Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able
to sell it, nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has
taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a man
repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it; and the Hour will be established
when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established till a fire will come out of the land of Hijaz,
and it will throw light on the necks of the camels at Busra.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Soon the river “Euphrates” will disclose the treasure (the mountain) of gold, so
whoever will be present at that time should not take anything of it.” Al-A’raj narrated from Abii
Huraira that the Prophet (ﷺ) said the same but he said, “It (Euphrates) will uncover a mountain of gold
(under it).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of
Daus move while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa.” Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe which
they used to worship in the Pre Islamic Period of ignorance.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established till a man from Qahtan appears, driving the
people with his stick.”

Hudhaifa said, ‘In fact, it was hypocrisy that existed in the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) but today it is Kufr
(disbelief) after belief.’

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established till a man passes by a grave of somebody and
says, ‘Would that I were in his place.’ ”

When Ibn Ziyad and Marwan were in Sham and Ibn Az-Zubair took over the authority in Mecca and
Qurra’ (the Kharijites) revolted in Basra, I went out with my father to Abu Barza Al-Aslami till we
entered upon him in his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. So we sat with
him and my father started talking to him saying, “O Abu Barza! Don’t you see in what dilemma the
people has fallen?” The first thing heard him saying “I seek reward from Allah for myself because of
being angry and scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in
misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allah has brought you out of all that with
Islam and with Muhammad till He brought you to this state (of prosperity and happiness) which you
see now; and it is this worldly wealth and pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among you.
The one who is in Sham (i.e., Marwan), by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain:
and those who are among you, by Allah, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and that
one who is in Mecca (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly
gain.”

Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman said, ‘The hypocrites of today are worse than those of the lifetime of the
Prophet, because in those days they used to do evil deeds secretly but today they do such deeds
openly.’

(Usama’s Maula) Usama (bin Zaid) sent me to `Ali (at Kufa) and said, “`Ali will ask you, ‘What has
prevented your companion from joining me?’ You then should say to him, ‘If you (`Ali) were in the
mouth of a lion, I would like to be with you, but in this matter I won’t take any part.’ ” Harmala added:
“`Ali didn’t give me anything (when I conveyed the message to him) so I went to Hasan, Hussain and
Ibn Ja`far and they loaded my camels with much (wealth).
