Narrated Asma':
The Prophet said,
"I will be at my Lake-Fount (Kauthar) waiting
for whoever will come to me. Then some people will
be taken away from me whereupon I will say, 'My
followers!' It will be said, 'You do not know they
turned Apostates as renegades (deserted their
religion).'" (Ibn Abi Mulaika said,
"Allah, we seek refuge with You from turning
on our heels from the (Islamic) religion and from
being put to trial").

The Prophet said,
"I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar)
and some men amongst you will be brought to me,
and when I will try to hand them some water, they

will say, 'O Lord, my companions!' Then the
Almighty will say, 'You do not know what they did
after you left, they introduced new things into
the religion after you.'"

Sa'd:
I heard the Prophet
saying, "I am your predecessor at the
Lake-Fount (Kauthar), and whoever will come to it,
will drink from it, and whoever will drink from
it, will never become thirsty after that. There
will come to me some people whom I know and they
know me, and then a barrier will be set up between
me and them." Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri added that
the Prophet further said: "I will say those
people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not
know what changes and new things they did after
you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy),
far removed (from mercy), those who changed (the
religion) after me! "

Ignorance (as rebellious sinners). (Fateh-Al-Bari

called us and we gave him the Pledge of allegiance
for Islam, and among the conditions on which he
took the Pledge from us, was that we were to
listen and obey (the orders) both at the time when
we were active and at the time when we were tired,
and at our difficult time and at our ease and to
be obedient to the ruler and give him his right
even if he did not give us our right, and not to

open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a
proof with us from Allah."

We replied, "Yes. O Allah's Apostle." He
then said, "What town is this? Isn't it the
forbidden (Sacred) Town (Mecca)?" We replied,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle." He then said,
"Your blood, your properties, your honors and
your skins (i.e., bodies) are as sacred to one
another like the sanctity of this day of yours in
this month of yours in this town of yours.
(Listen) Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to
you?" We replied, "Yes" He said,
"O Allah! Be witness (for it). So it is
incumbent upon those who are present to convey it
(this message of mine) to those who are absent
because the informed one might comprehend what I
have said better than the present audience who
will convey it to him.)" The narrator added:

another."

Narrated Hudhaifa
bin Al-Yaman:
The people used to
ask Allah's Apostle about the good but I used to
ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken
by them. So I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We
were living in ignorance and in an (extremely)
worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this
good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after
this good?" He said, "Yes." I said,
'Will there be any good after that evil?" He
replied, "Yes, but it will be tainted (not
pure.)'' I asked, "What will be its
taint?" He replied, "(There will be)
some people who will guide others not according to
my tradition? You will approve of some of their
deeds and disapprove of some others." I
asked, "Will there be any evil after that
good?" He replied, "Yes, (there will be)
some people calling at the gates of the (Hell)
Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will
be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire." I
said, "O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe
them to us?" He said, "They will be from
our own people and will speak our language."
I said, "What do you order me to do if such a
state should take place in my life?" He said,
"Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam
(ruler)." I said, "If there is neither a
group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?" He
said, "Then turn away from all those sects
even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree
till death overtakes you while you are in that
state."
Volume
9, Book 88, Number 207:
Narrated Abu Al-Aswad:
An army unit was
being recruited from the people of Medina and my
name was written among them. Then I met 'Ikrima,
and when I informed him about it, he discouraged
me very strongly and said, "Ibn 'Abbas told
me that there were some Muslims who were with the
pagans to increase their number against Allah's
Apostle (and the Muslim army) so arrows (from the
Muslim army) would hit one of them and kill him or
a Muslim would strike him (with his sword) and
kill him. So Allah revealed:--
'Verily! As for
those whom the angels take (in death) while they
are wronging themselves (by staying among the
disbelievers).' (4.97)
Volume
9, Book 88, Number 208:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah's Apostle
related to us, two prophetic narrations one of
which I have seen fulfilled and I am waiting for
the fulfillment of the other. The Prophet told us
that the virtue of honesty descended in the roots
of men's hearts (from Allah) and then they learned
it from the Qur'an and then they learned it from
the Sunna (the Prophet's traditions). The Prophet
further told us how that honesty will be taken
away: He said: "Man will go to sleep during
which honesty will be taken away from his heart
and only its trace will remain in his heart like
the trace of a dark spot; then man will go to
sleep, during which honesty will decrease further
still, so that its trace will resemble the trace
of blister as when an ember is dropped on one's
foot which would make it swell, and one would see
it swollen but there would be nothing inside.
People would be carrying out their trade but
hardly will there be a trustworthy person. It will
be said, 'in such-and-such tribe there is an
honest man,' and later it will be said about some
man, 'What a wise, polite and strong man he is!'
Though he will not have faith equal even to a
mustard seed in his heart." No doubt, there
came upon me a time when I did not mind dealing
(bargaining) with anyone of you, for if he was a
Muslim his Islam would compel him to pay me what
is due to me, and if he was a Christian, the
Muslim official would compel him to pay me what is
due to me, but today I do not deal except with
such-and-such person.
Volume
9, Book 88, Number 209:
Narrated Salama bin
Al-Akwa:
That he visited Al-Hajjaj
(bin Yusuf). Al-Hajjaj said, "O son of Al-Akwa!
You have turned on your heels (i.e., deserted
Islam) by staying (in the desert) with the
bedouins." Salama replied, "No, but
Allah's Apostle allowed me to stay with the
bedouin in the desert." Narrated Yazid bin
Abi Ubaid: When 'Uthman bin Affan was killed
(martyred), Salama bin Al-Akwa' went out to a
place called Ar-Rabadha and married there and
begot children, and he stayed there till a few
nights before his death when he came to Medina.
Volume
9, Book 88, Number 210:
Narrated Abu Sa'id
Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle
said, "There will come a time when the best
property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will
take to the tops of mountains and the places of
rainfall so as to flee with his religion from the
afflictions.
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:

I heard Allah's
Apostle while he was facing the East, saying,
"Verily! Afflictions are there, from where

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

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

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."

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."

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."

When Ibn Ziyad and

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."

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."

Nobody asked the
Prophet as many questions as I asked regarding Ad-Dajjal.

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.)

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

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."

like this." The Prophet made a circle with
his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh
