Chapter 8: More Signs of the Hour

Abdullah ibn Amr said: I went to the Prophet one day while he was performing Wudu. He raised his head, looked at me and said: Six things will happen to this Ummah. The first thing will be the death of your Prophet. The second is that your wealth will increase so much that if a man were to be given a thousand, he would still not be content with it. The third is that tribulation will enter the house of every one of you, the fourth is sudden death will be widespread. The fifth is a peace-treaty between you and the Romans. They will gather troops against you for nine months and they will be the first to break the treaty. The sixth is the conquest of a city.

Abdullah ibn Amr asked: O Messenger of Allah, which city? The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ replied: Constantinople. (Ahmad)

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the rising of the sun from the West, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast, the death of one of you or general tribulation. (Muslim, Ahmad)

Hudhayfah ibn Ubayd said: The Prophet came upon us whilst we were busy in discussion. The Prophet asked: What are you talking about? We replied: We are discussing the Hour.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then said: It will not come until you see ten signs. They are: the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast, the sun rising from the West, the descent of Isa, Ya’juj and Ma’juj, and three land-slides. One will be in the East, one in the West and one in Arabia. At the end of these land-slides, a fire will burst forth from the direction of Aden (in Yemen) which will drive people to the place of their final assembly. (Ahmad)
