Sufyan made a sign of ten with the help of his hand (in order to
indicate the width of the gap) and I said: Allah's Messenger,

and 'Abdullah b. Safwan both went to Umm Salama, the Mother of
the Faithful, and they asked her about the army which would be
sunk in the earth, and this relates to the time when Ibn Zubair
(was the governor of Mecca). She reported that Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) had said that a seeker of refuge would
seek refuge in the Sacred House and an army would be sent to him
(in order to kill him) and when it would enter a plain ground,
it would be made to sink. I said: Allah's Messenger, what about
him who would be made to accompany this army willy nilly?
Thereupon he said: He would be made to sink along with them buf
he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection on the basis of
his intention. Abu Ja'far said.' This plain,ground means the
plain ground of Medina.

This hadith has been
narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah b. Rufai, with the same

of the army would be sunk and the vanguard would call the rear
flanks of the army and they would also be sunk and no flank
would be left except some people who would go to inform them
(their kith and kin). A person (who had been listening to this
badith from Abdullah b. Safwan) said: I bear testimony in regard
to you that you are not imputing a lie to Hafsa. And I bear
testimony to the fact that Hafsa is not telling a lie about
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him).

weapons or the strength of the people. An army would be sent to
fight (and kill) them and when they would enter a plain ground
the army would be sunk in it. Yiisuf (one of the narrators)
said: It was a people of Syria (hordes of Hajjaj) who had been
on that day comin. towards Mecca for an attack (on 'Abdulllah b.
Zubair) and Abdullah b. Safwan said: By God, it does not imply
this army.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was startled in the

Thereupon he said: Strange it is that some, people of my Ummah
would attack the House (Ka'ba) (for killing) a person who would
belong to the tribe of the Quraish and he would try to seek
protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain
ground they would be sunk. We said: Allah's Messenger, all sorts
of people throng the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would
be amongst them people who would come with definite designs and
those who would come under duress and there would be travellers
also, but they would all be destroyed through one (stroke) of
destruction. though they would be raised in different states (on

should stick to his sheep and goat and he who has land should

your opinion about one who has neither camel nor sheep nor land
? Thereupon, he said : He should take hold of his sword and beat
its edge with the help of stone and then try to find a way of
escape. O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message); O Allah, I have
conveyed (Thy Message); O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message).
A person said: Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion it I am
drawn to a rank in spite of myself, or in one of the groups and

been granted the red and the white trea- sure and I begged my
Lord for my Ummah that it should not be destroyed because of
famine, nor be dominated by an enemy who is not amongst them to
take their lives and destroy them root and branch, and my Lord
said: Muhammad, whenever I make a decision, there is none to
change it. Well, I grant you for your Ummah that it would not be
destroyed by famine and it would not be dominated by an enemy
who would not be amongst it and would take their lives and
destroy them root and branch even if all the people from the
different parts of the world join hands together (for this

that some people would kill the others or imprison the others.

reported: By Allah, I have the best knowledge amongst people
about every turmoil which is going to appear in the period
intervening me and the Last Hour; and it is not for the fact
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) told me something
confidentially pertaining to it and he did not tell anybody else
about it, but it is because of the fact that I was present in
the assembly in which he had been describing the turmoil. and he
especially made a mention of three turmoils which would not
spare anything and amongst these there would be turmoils like
storms in the hot season. Some of them would be violent and some
of them would be comparatively mild. Hudhaifa said: All (who
were present) except I have gone (to the next world).

to the Last Hour. Those who had to remember them preserved them
in their minds and those who could not remember them forgot
them. My friends knew them and there are certain things which
slip out of my mind, but I recapitulate them when anyone makes a
mention of them just as a person is lost from one's mind but is
recalled to him on seeing his face.

and again addressed us until it was time for the 'Asr prayer. He
then again came down and observed the prayer and again mointed

were one day in the company of 'Umar that he said: Who amongst
you has preserved in his mind most perfectly the hadith of
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in regard to the
turmoil as he told about it? I said: It is I. Thereupon he said:
You are bold (enough to make this claim). And he further said:
How? I said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: There would (first) be turmoil for a person in regard
to his family, his property, his own self, his children, his
neighbours (and the sins comnaitted in their connection) would
be expiated by fasting, prayer, charity, enjoining good and
prohibiting evil. Thereupon 'Umar said: I do not mean (that
turmoil on a small scale) but that one which would eme-ge like
the mounting waves of the ocean. I said: Commander of the
Faithful, you have nothing to do with it, for the door is closed
between you and that. He said: Would that door be broken or
opened? I said: No, it would be broken. Thereupon he said: Then
it would not be closed despite best efforts. We said to Hudhaifa:
Did Umar know the door? Thereupon he said: Yes, he knew it (for
certain) just as one knows that night precede the next day. And
I narrated to him something in which there was nothing
fabricated. Shaqiq (one of the narrators) said: We dared not ask
Hudhaifa about that door. So we requested Masrdq to ask him. So
he asked him and he said: (By that door, he meant) 'Umar.

said: They would shed their blood today. That person said: By
Allah. not at all. I said: By Allah, of course, they would do
it. He said: By Allah, they would not do it. I said: By Allah,
of course, they would do it. He said: By Allah, they would not
do it, and I have heard a hadith of Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) which I am narrating to you in this connection. I
said: You are a bad seat fellow. I have been opposing you since
morning and you are listening to me in spite of the fact that
you have heard a hadith from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) (contrary to ray statement). I myself felt that there was
no use of this annoyance. (He could tell me earlier that it was
a hadith of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him], and I
would not have opposed him at all.) I turned my face toward him
and asked him and he was Hadrat Hudhaifa.

saying: The Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold and
when the people would bear of it they would flock towards it but
the people who would possess that (treasure) (would say): If we
allow these persons to take out of it they would take away the

44) Book 41,

Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last
Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A'maq or
in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the
people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to
counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks,
the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those
(Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with
them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never
get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight
them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would
run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the
army). which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in
Allah's eye, would be killed ani the third who would never be
put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of
Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the
spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by
the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal has taken your
place among your family. They would then come out, but it would
be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come
out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle
drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come
and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and
would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see
him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in
water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even
then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by
his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the
lance of Jesus Christ).

majority amongst people. 'Amr said to him (Mustaurid Qurashi):
See what you are saying? He said: I say what I heard from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). Thereupon he said: If
you say that, it is a fact for they have four qualities. They
have the patience to undergo a trial and immediately restore
themselves to sanity after trouble and attack again after
flight. They (have the quality) of being good to the destitute
and the orphans, to the weak and, fifthly, the good quality in
them is that they put resistance against the oppression of
kings.
46) Book 41,
Number 6926:
Mustaurid Qurashi
reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: The Last Hour would come when the Romans would form a
majority amongst people. This reached 'Amr b. al-'As and he
said: What are these ahadith which are being transmitted from
you and which you claim to have heard from Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him)? Mustaurid said to him: I stated only
that which I heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him). Thereupon 'Amr said: If you state this (it is true), for
they have the power of tolerance amongst people at the time of
turmoil and restore themselves to sanity after trouble, and are
good amongst people so far as the destitute and the weak are
concerned.

person who had nothing to say but (these words): Abdullah b.
Mas'ud, the Last Hour has come. He ('Abdullah b. Mas'ud) was
sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour
would not come until the people divide in- heritance and rejoice
over booty, and then said pointing towards Syria, with the
gesture of his hand like this: The enemy shall muster strength
against Muslims and the Muslims will muster strength against
them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes, and
there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a
detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but
victorious. They will fight until night will intervene them;
both the sides will return without being victorious and both
will be wiped out. The Muslims will again prepare a detachment
for fighting unto death so that they may not return but
victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment
out of the remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah
will decree that the enemy should be routed. And they would
fight such a fight the like of which would not be seen, so much
so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall
down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be such
a largescale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only)
one out of a hundred men related to one another would be found
alive. So what can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what
inheritance would be divided ! They would be in this very state
that they would hear of a calamity more horrible than this. And
a cry would reach them: The Dajjil has taken your place among
your off- spring. They will, therefore, throw away what would be
in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen,as a scouting
party. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I know
their names and the names of their forefathers and the colour of
their horses. They will be best horsemen on the surface of the
earth on that day or amongst the best horsemen on the surface of
the earth on that day.

in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) from the direction of the west. They
were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock
and they met him as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand
between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I
thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation
amongst them. I however, went to them and btood between them and
him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I
repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah's Messenger)
said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to
conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you
to Conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and AllgLh will enable
you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah
will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought
that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would
be conquered.

119) Book 41, Number 6999:
'Muhammad b. Munkadir
reported: As I saw Jabir b. 'Abdullah taking an oath in the name
of Allah that it was Ibn Sa'id who was the Dajjal I said:Do you
take an oath in the name of Allah? Thereupon he said:I heard 'Umar
taking an oath in the presence of Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) to this effect but Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) did not disapprove of it.
120) Book 41, Number 7000:
'Abdullah b. Umar
reported: 'Umar b. Khattab went along with Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) in the company of some persons toIbn
Sayyad that he found him playing with children near the
bettlement of Bani Maghala and Ibn Sayyad was at that time just
at the threshold of adolescence and he did not perceive (the
presence of Holy Prophet) until Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him)struck his back with his hands.Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: Ibn Sayyad,don't you bear witness that
I am the messenger of Allah? Ibn Sayyad looked toward him and he
said: I bear witness to the fact that you the messenger of the
unlettered.Ibn Sayyad said to the Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him):Do you bear witness to the fact that I am the
messenger of Allah? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
rejected this and said :I affirm my faith in Allah and in His
messengers .Then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said
to him: What do you see? Ibn Sayyad said :It us a Dukh.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said : May
you be disgraced and dishonoured,you would not not be able to go
beyond your rank. 'Umar b. Khattab said :Allah's Messenger,
permit me that I should strike his neck. Therupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said :If he is the same (Dajjal)
who would appear near the Last Hour,you would not be able to
overpower him, and he is not that ther is no good for you to
kill him. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar further narrated that after some
time Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and Ubayy b. Ka'b
went towards the palm trees where Ibn Sayyad was. When Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) went near the tree he hid
himself behind a tree with the intention of hearing something
from Ibn sayyad before Ibn Sayyad could see him, but Allah's
Messenger (may pcxce be upon him) saw him on a bed with a
blanket around him from which a murmuring sound was being heard
and Ibn Sayyad's mother saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) behind the trunk of the palm tree. She said to Ibn Sayyad:
Saf (that being his name), here is Muhammad. Thereupon Ibn
Sayyad jumped up murmuring and Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: If she had left him alone he would have made
things clear. Abdullah b. Umar told that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) stood up amongst the people and lauded Allah
as He deserved, then he made a mention of the Dajjal and said: I
warn you of him and there is no Prophet who has not warned his
people against the Dajjal. Even Noah warned (against him) but I
am going to tell you a thing which no Prophet told his people.
You must know that he (the Dajjal) is one-eyed and Allah, the
Exalted and Glorious, is not one-eyed. Ibn Shihab said: 'Umar b.
Thabit al-Ansari informed me that some of the Companions of
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) informed him that the
day when Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) warned people
against the Dajjal, he also said: There would be written between
his two eyes (the word) Kafir (infidel) and everyone who would
resent his deeds would be able to read or every Muslim would be
about to read, and he also said: Bear this thing in mind that
none amongst you would be able to see Allah, the Exalted and
Glorious, until he dies.

reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) went
along with him in the company of some persons and there was Umar
b. Khattab also amongst them till they saw Ibn Sayyad as a young
boy just on the threshold of adolescence playing with children
near the battlement of Bani Mu'awiya; the rest of the hadith is
the same but with these concluding words: "Had his mother left
him (to murmur) his matter would have become clear."

that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) happened to pass
by Ibn Sayyad along with his Companions including 'Umar b.
Khattab as he was playing with children near the battlement of
Bani Maghala and he was also a child by that time. The rest of
the hadith is the same as narrated by Ibn Umar (in which there
is a mention of) setting out of Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) along with Ubayy b. Ka'b towards the date-palm trees.
123) Book 41, Number 7003:
Nafi' reported that
Ibn 'Umar met Ibn Si'id on some of the paths of Medina and he
said to him a word which enraged him and he was so much swollen
with anger that the way was blocked. Ibn 'Umar went to Hafsa and
informed her about this. Thereupon she said: May Allah have
mercy upon you, why did you incite Ibn Sayyad in spite of the
fact that you knew it would be the extreme anger which would
make Dajjal appear in the world?
124) Book 41, Number 7004:
Nafi' reported that
Ibn 'Umar said: I met lbn Sayyad twice and said to some of them
(his friends): You state that it was he (the Dajjal). He said:
By Allah, it is not so. I said: You have not told me the truth;
by Allah some of you informed me that he would not die until he
would have the largest number of offspring and huge wealth and
it is he about whom it is thought so. Then Ibn Sayyad talked to
us. I then departed and met him again for the second time and
his eye had been swollen. I said: What has happened to your eye?
He said: I do not know. I said: This is in your head and you do
not know about it? He said: If Allah so wills He can create it
(eye) in your staff. He then produced a sound like the braying
of a donkey. Some of my companions thought that I had struck him
with the staff as he was with me that the staff broke into
pieces, but, by Allah, I was not conscious of it. He then came
to the Mother of the Faithful (Hafsa) and narrated it to her and
she said: What concern you have with him? Don't you know that
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said that the first
thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the
public would be his anger?

fire and what the people would see as water that would be fire
and that would burn and what would appear as fire that would be
water and any one of you who would see that should plunge in

and 'Uqba said: I also heard it, testifying Hudhaifa.
