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 792:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “A time will come when the people will wage holy war, and it will be asked, ‘Is
there any amongst you who has enjoyed the company of Allah’s Apostle?’ They will say: ‘Yes.’ And
then victory will be bestowed upon them. They will wage holy war again, and it will be asked: ‘Is
there any among you who has enjoyed the company of the companions of Allah’s Apostle ?’ They will
say: ‘Yes.’ And then victory will be bestowed on them.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 793:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
While I was in the city of the Prophet, a man came and complained to him (the Prophet, ) of desti –
tution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The
Prophet said, “Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?” I said, “I haven’t been to it, but I was informed about
it.” He said, “If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah travel –
ing from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka’ba, fearing none but Al –
lah.” I said to myself, “What will happen to the robbers of the tribe of Tai who have spread evil
through out the country?” The Prophet further said. “If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau
will be opened (and taken as spoils).” I asked, “You mean Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?” He said, “Khos –
rau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see that one will carry a handful of gold or
silver and go out looking for a person to accept it from him, but will find none to accept it from him.
And any of you, when meeting Allah, will meet Him without needing an interpreter between him
and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: ‘Didn’t I send a messenger to teach you?’ He
will say: ‘Yes.’ Allah will say: ‘Didn’t I give you wealth and do you favors?’ He will say: ‘Yes.’ Then he
will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing but Hell.”
‘Adi further said: I heard the Prophet saying, “Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a
date (to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word.” ‘Adi
added: (later on) I saw a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf of the
Ka’ba, fearing none but Allah. And I was one of those who opened (conquered) the treasures of Khos –
rau, son of Hurmuz. If you should live long, you will see what the Prophet Abu-l-Qasim had said: ‘A
person will come out with a handful. of gold…etc.
