Volume 9, Book 88, Number 211
Narrated Anas:
The people started asking the Prophet too many questions
importunately. So one day he ascended the pulpit and said, "You will
not ask me any question but I will explain it to you." I looked
right and left, and behold, every man was covering his head with his
garment and weeping. Then got up a man who, whenever quarreling with
somebody, used to be accused of not being the son of his father. He
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is my father?" The Prophet replied,
"Your father is Hudhaifa." Then 'Umar got up and said, "We accept
Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion and Muhammad as our Apostle
and we seek refuge with Allah from the evil of afflictions." The
Prophet said, " I have never seen the good and bad like on this day.
No doubt, Paradise and Hell was displayed in front of me till I saw
them in front of that wall," Qatada said: This Hadith used to be
mentioned as an explanation of this Verse:-- 'O you who believe! Ask
not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause
you trouble.' (5.101)
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 212
Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet stood up beside the pulpit (and pointed with his finger
towards the East) and said, "Afflictions are there! Afflictions are
there, from where the side of the head of Satan comes out," or said,
"..the side of the sun.."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 213
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle while he was facing the East, saying,
"Verily! Afflictions are there, from where the side of the head of
Satan comes out."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 214
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham! O
Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen." The People said, "And
also on our Najd." He said, "O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our
Sham (north)! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen." The
people said, "O Allah's Apostle! And also on our Najd." I think the
third time the Prophet said, "There (in Najd) is the place of
earthquakes and afflictions and from there comes out the side of the
head of Satan."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 215
Narrated Sa'id bin Jubair:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar came to us and we hoped that he would narrate to
us a good Hadith. But before we asked him, a man got up and said to
him, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! Narrate to us about the battles during
the time of the afflictions, as Allah says:--
'And fight them until there is no more afflictions (i.e. no more
worshipping of others besides Allah).'" (2.193) Ibn 'Umar said (to
the man), "Do you know what is meant by afflictions? Let your mother
bereave you! Muhammad used to fight against the pagans, for a Muslim
was put to trial in his religion (The pagans will either kill him or
chain him as a captive). His fighting was not like your fighting
which is carried on for the sake of ruling."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 216
Narrated Shaqiq:
I heard Hudhaifa saying, "While we were sitting with 'Umar, he said,
'Who among you remembers the statement of the Prophet about the
afflictions?' Hudhaifa said, "The affliction of a man in his family,
his property, his children and his neighbors are expiated by his
prayers, Zakat (and alms) and enjoining good and forbidding evil."
'Umar said, "I do not ask you about these afflictions, but about
those afflictions which will move like the waves of the sea."
Hudhaifa said, "Don't worry about it, O chief of the believers, for
there is a closed door between you and them." 'Umar said, "Will that
door be broken or opened?" I said, "No. it will be broken." 'Umar
said, "Then it will never be closed," I said, "Yes." We asked
Hudhaifa, "Did 'Umar know what that door meant?" He replied, "Yes,
as I know that there will be night before tomorrow morning, that is
because I narrated to him a true narration free from errors." We
dared not ask Hudhaifa as to whom the door represented so we ordered
Masruq to ask him what does the door stand for? He replied, "'Umar."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 217
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari:
The Prophet went out to one of the gardens of Medina for some
business and I went out to follow him. When he entered the garden, I
sat at its gate and said to myself, "To day I will be the gatekeeper
of the Prophet though he has not ordered me." The Prophet went and
finished his need and went to sit on the constructed edge of the
well and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. In the
meantime Abu Bakr came and asked permission to enter. I said (to
him), "Wait till I get you permission." Abu Bakr waited outside and
I went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Abu Bakr asks
your permission to enter." He said, "Admit him, and give him the
glad tidings of entering Paradise." So Abu Bakr entered and sat on
the right side of the Prophet and uncovered his legs and hung them
in the well. Then 'Umar came and I said (to him), "Wait till I get
you permission." The Prophet said, "Admit him and give him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise." So Umar entered and sat on the left
side of the Prophet and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well
so that one side of the well became fully occupied and there
remained no place for any-one to sit. Then 'Uthman came and I said
(to him), "Wait till I get permission for you." The Prophet said,
"Admit him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise with a
calamity which will befall him." When he entered, he could not find
any place to sit with them so he went to the other edge of the well
opposite them and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. I
wished that a brother of mine would come, so I invoked Allah for his
coming. (Ibn Al-Musaiyab said, "I interpreted that (narration) as
indicating their graves. The first three are together and the grave
of 'Uthman is separate from theirs.")
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 218
Narrated Abu Wail:
Someone said to Usama, "Will you not talk to this (Uthman)?" Usama
said, "I talked to him (secretly) without being the first man to
open an evil door. I will never tell a ruler who rules over two men
or more that he is good after I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'A man
will be brought and put in Hell (Fire) and he will circumambulate
(go around and round) in Hell (Fire) like a donkey of a (flour)
grinding mill, and all the people of Hell (Fire) will gather around
him and will say to him, O so-and-so! Didn't you use to order others
for good and forbid them from evil?' That man will say, 'I used to
order others to do good but I myself never used to do it, and I used
to forbid others from evil while I myself used to do evil.' "
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 219
Narrated Abu Bakra:
During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word (I
heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that the
people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen
(ruler), he said, "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman
their ruler."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 220
Narrated Abu Maryam Abdullah bin Ziyad Al-Aasadi:
When Talha, AzZubair and 'Aisha moved to Basra, 'Ali sent 'Ammar bin
Yasir and Hasan bin 'Ali who came to us at Kufa and ascended the
pulpit. Al-Hasan bin 'Ali was at the top of the pulpit and 'Ammar
was below Al-Hasan. We all gathered before him. I heard 'Ammar
saying, "'Aisha has moved to Al-Busra. By Allah! She is the wife of
your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah has put
you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her ('Aisha)."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 221
Narrated Abu Wail:
'Ammar stood on the pulpit at Kufa and mentioned 'Aisha and her
coming (to Busra) and said, "She is the wife of your Prophet in this
world and in the Hereafter, but you people are being put to test in
this issue."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 222
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abu Musa and Abii Mas'ud went to 'Ammar when 'Ali had sent him to
Kufa to exhort them to fight (on 'Ali's side). They said to him,
"Since you have become a Muslim, we have never seen you doing a deed
more criticizable to us than your haste in this matter." 'Ammar
said, "Since you (both) became Muslims, I have never seen you doing
a deed more criticizable to me than your keeping away from this
matter." Then Abu Mas'ud provided 'Ammar and Abu Musa with two-piece
outfits to wear, and one of them went to the mosque (of Kufa).
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 223
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama:
I was sitting with Abu Mas'ud and Abu Musa and 'Ammar. Abu Mas'ud
said (to 'Ammar), "There is none of your companions but, if I wish,
I could find fault with him except with you. Since you joined the
company of the Prophet I have never seen anything done by you more
criticizable by me than your haste in this issue." 'Ammar said, O
Abu Mas'ud ! I have never seen anything done by you or by this
companion of yours (i.e., Abu Musa) more criticizable by me than
your keeping away from this issue since the time you both joined the
company of the Prophet."
Then Abu Mas'ud who was a rich man, said (to his servant), "O boy!
Bring two suits." Then he gave one to Abu Musa and the other to
'Ammar and said (to them), "Put on these suits before going for the
Friday prayer. "
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 224
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "If Allah sends punishment upon a nation then
it befalls upon the whole population indiscriminately and then they
will be resurrected (and judged) according to their deeds. "
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 225
Narrated Al-Hasan Al-Basri:
When Al-Hasan bin 'Ali moved with army units against Muawiya, 'Amr
bin AL-As said to Muawiya, "I see an army that will not retreat
unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If the
Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?" 'Amr bin
Al-As said: I (will look after them). On that, 'Abdullah bin 'Amir
and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura said, "Let us meet Muawaiya and suggest
peace." Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra
said, "Once while the Prophet was addressing (the people), Al-Hasan
(bin 'Ali) came and the Prophet said, 'This son of mine is a chief,
and Allah may make peace between two groups of Muslims through him."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 226
Narrated Harmala:
(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)."

Volume 9, Book 88, Number 227
Narrated Nafi':
When the people of Medina dethroned Yazid bin Muawiya, Ibn 'Umar
gathered his special friends and children and said, "I heard the
Prophet saying, 'A flag will be fixed for every betrayer on the Day
of Resurrection,' and we have given the oath of allegiance to this
person (Yazid) in accordance with the conditions enjoined by Allah
and His Apostle and I do not know of anything more faithless than
fighting a person who has been given the oath of allegiance in
accordance with the conditions enjoined by Allah and His Apostle ,
and if ever I learn that any person among you has agreed to dethrone
Yazid, by giving the oath of allegiance (to somebody else) then
there will be separation between him and me."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 228
Narrated Abu Al-Minhal:
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."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 229
Narrated Abi Waih:
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.'

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till the

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle,
(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."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 238
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:
Nobody asked the Prophet as many questions as I asked regarding
Ad-Dajjal. The Prophet said to me, "What worries you about him?" I
said, "Because the people say that he will have a mountain of bread
and a river of water with him (i.e. he will have abundance of food
and water)" The Prophet said, "Nay, he is too mean to be allowed
such a thing by Allah"' (but it is only to test mankind whether they
believe in Allah or in Ad-Dajjal.)
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 239

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
Allah's Apostle stood up amongst the people and then praised and
glorified Allah as He deserved and then he mentioned Ad-Dajjal,
saying, "I warn you of him, and there was no prophet but warned his

prophet has told his followers: Ad-Dajjal is one-eyed whereas Allah
is not."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 242
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said. "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a
dream) performing Tawaf around the Ka'ba. Behold, I saw a
reddish-white man with lank hair, and water was dropping from his
head. I asked, "Who is this?' They replied, 'The son of Mary.' Then
I turned my face to see another man with a huge body, red complexion
and curly hair and blind in one eye. His eye looked like a
protruding out grape. They said (to me), He is Ad-Dajjal." The
Prophet added, "The man he resembled most is Ibn Qatan, a man from
the tribe of Khuza'a. "

Volume 9, Book 88, Number 245
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "No prophet was sent but that he warned his
followers against the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). Beware! He is blind
in one eye, and your Lord is not so, and there will be written
between his (Ad-Dajjal's) eyes (the word) Kafir (i.e.,
disbeliever)." (This Hadith is also quoted by Abu Huraira and Ibn
'Abbas).
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 246
Narrated Abu Sa'id:
One day Allah's Apostle narrated to us a long narration about
Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal
will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of
Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina
and there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of
the best of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are
Ad-Dajjal whose story Allah's Apostle has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will
say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man and then give him
life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply,
'No,' Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him
alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now I recognize you more than
ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not
be given the power to do so."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 247

Narrated Zainab bint Jahsh:
That one day Allah's Apostle entered upon her in a state of fear and
said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! Woe to the
Arabs from the Great evil that has approached (them). Today a hole
has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog like this." The Prophet
made a circle with his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh
added: I said, "O Alllah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though
there will be righteous people among us?" The Prophet said, "Yes, if
the (number) of evil (persons) increased."
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 250
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A hole has been opened in the dam of Gog and
Magog." Wuhaib (the sub-narrator) made the number 90 (with his index
finger and thumb).
