Volume 4, Book 56, Number 820:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet in his fatal illness, called his daughter Fatima and told her a secret because of which
she started weeping. Then he called her and told her another secret, and she started laughing. When
I asked her about that, she replied, The Prophet told me that he would die in his fatal illness, and so I
wept, but then he secretly told me that from amongst his family, I would be the first to join him, and
so I laughed.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Day of (Judgment) will not be established till there is a war between two

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 821:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
About Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab used to treat Ibn ‘Abbas very favorably ‘Abdur Rahman
bin ‘Auf said to him. “We also have sons that are equal to him (but you are partial to him.)” Umar
said, “It is because of his knowledge.” Then ‘Umar asked Ibn ‘Abbas about the interpretation of the
Verse:- ‘When come the Help of Allah and the conquest (of Mecca) (110.1) Ibn ‘Abbas said. “It por –
tended the death of Allah’s Apostle, which Allah had informed him of.” ‘Umar said, “I do not know
from this Verse but what you know.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 806:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The Hour will not be established till there is a war between two groups among
whom there will be a great number of casualties, though the claims (or religion) of both of them will
be one and the same. And the Hour will not be established till there appear about thirty liars, all of
whom will be claiming to be the messengers of Allah. “
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 822:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
Allah’s Apostle in his fatal illness came out, wrapped with a sheet, and his head was wrapped with
an oiled bandage. He sat on the pulpit, and praising and glorifying Allah, he said, “Now then, people
will increase but the Ansar will decrease in number, so much so that they, compared with the people,
will be just like the salt in the! meals. So, if any of you should take over the authority by which he
can either benefit some people or harm some others, he should accept the goodness of their good
people (i.e. Ansar) and excuse the faults of their wrong-doers.” That was the last gathering which the
Prophet attended.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 807:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While we were with Allah’s Apostle who was distributing (i.e. some property), there came Dhu-l-
Khuwaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do Justice.” The Proph –
et said, “Woe to you! Who could do justice if I did not? I would be a desperate loser if I did not do
justice.” ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.” The Prophet said, “Leave him,
for he has companions who pray and fast in such a way that you will consider your fasting negli –

gible in comparison to theirs. They recite Qur’an but it does not go beyond their throats (i.e. they do
not act on it) and they will desert Islam as an arrow goes through a victim’s body, so that the hunter,
on looking at the arrow’s blade, would see nothing on it; he would look at its Risaf and see nothing:
he would look at its Na,di and see nothing, and he would look at its Qudhadh ( 1 ) and see nothing
(neither meat nor blood), for the arrow has been too fast even for the blood and excretions to smear.
The sign by which they will be recognized is that among them there will be a black man, one of
whose arms will resemble a woman’s breast or a lump of meat moving loosely. Those people will ap –
pear when there will be differences amongst the people.” I testify that I heard this narration from Al –
lah’s Apostle and I testify that ‘Ali bin Abi Talib fought with such people, and I was in his company.
He ordered that the man (described by the Prophet ) should be looked for. The man was brought and
I looked at him and noticed that he looked exactly as the Prophet had described him.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 823:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
Once the Prophet brought out Al-Hasan and took him up the pulpit along with him and said, “This
son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and I hope that Allah will help him bring about reconciliation
between two Muslim groups.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 808:
Narrated ‘Ali:
I relate the traditions of Allah’s Apostle to you for I would rather fall from the sky than attribute
something to him falsely. But when I tell you a thing which is between you and me, then no doubt,
war is guile. I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “In the last days of this world there will appear some
young foolish people who will use (in their claim) the best speech of all people (i.e. the Qur’an) and
they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game. Their belief will not go beyond their
throats (i.e. they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who
kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection.”
