On the Day of Uhud, a molar
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was broken and he was wounded. Blood
started pouring down his face, and he started to wipe his face and
say: “How can any people prosper if they soak the face of their
Prophet with blood when he is calling them to Allah?” Then Allah
revealed: “Not for you is the decision.”[3:128]
Chapter 23: Patience at the time of calamity - كتاب الفتن
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ حَزِينٌ قَدْ خُضِبَ بِالدِّمَاءِ قَدْ ضَرَبَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ فَقَالَ " فَعَلَ بِي هَؤُلاَءِ وَفَعَلُوا " . قَالَ أَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ آيَةً قَالَ " نَعَمْ أَرِنِي " . فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَةٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْوَادِي فَقَالَ ادْعُ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةَ . فَدَعَاهَا فَجَاءَتْ تَمْشِي حَتَّى قَامَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ فَقَالَ لَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ حَتَّى عَادَتْ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " حَسْبِي " .
It was narrated that Anas said:
“One day, Jibril (as) came to the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was sitting in a sorrowful state
with
his face soaked with blood, because some of the people of Makkah
had
struck him. He said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ He said:
‘These
people did such and such to me.’ He said: ‘Would you
like me to show
you a sign?’ He said: ‘Yes, show me.’ He looked
at a tree on the far
side of the valley and said: ‘Call that tree.’
So he called it, and it
came walking until it stood before him. He
said: ‘Tell it to go back.’
So he told it, and it went back to
its place. Then the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘That is
sufficient for me.’”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَحْصُوا لِي كُلَّ مَنْ تَلَفَّظَ بِالإِسْلاَمِ " . قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّمِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِمِائَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا " . قَالَ فَابْتُلِينَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا مَا يُصَلِّي إِلاَّ سِرًّا .
It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Count for me all those who have uttered (the word of)
Islam.”
We said: “O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us when
we number
between six and seven hundred?” The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.”
It was narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b that on the night when he (ﷺ)
was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
noticed a good fragrance and said:
“O Jibril, what is this
good
fragrance?” He said: “This is the fragrance of the grave of
the
hairdresser and her two sons and her husband.” He said: “That
began
when Khadir, who was one of the nobles of the Children of
Israel, used
to pass by a monk in his cell. The monk used to meet him
and he taught
him Islam. When Khadir reached adolescence, his father
married him to
a woman. He taught her and made her promise not to
teach it to anyone.
He used not to touch women, so he divorced her,
then his father
married him to another woman, and he taught her and
made her promise
not to teach it to anyone. One of them kept the
secret but the other
disclosed it, so he fled until he came to an
island in the sea. Two
men came, gathering firewood, and saw him. One
of them kept the secret
but the other disclosed it and said: ‘I
have seen Khadir.’ It was
said: ‘Who else saw him besides you?’
He said: ‘So-and-so.’ (The other
man) was questioned but he kept
silent. According to their religion,
the liar was to be killed. The
woman who had kept the secret got
married, and while she was combing
the hair of Pharoah’s daughter, she
dropped the comb and said: ‘May
Pharoah perish!’ (The daughter) told
her father about that. The
woman had two sons and a husband. (Pharoah)
sent for them, and tried
to make the woman and her husband give up
their religion, but they
refused. He said: ‘I am going to kill you.’
They said: ‘It
would be an act of kindness on your part, if you kill
us, to put us
in one grave.’ So he did that.” When the Prophet (ﷺ)
was taken
on the Night Journey (Isra’), he noticed a good fragrance
and asked
Jibril about it and he told him.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
" عِظَمُ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلاَءِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلاَهُمْ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ " .
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When
Allah
loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His
pleasure
but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.”
Chapter 23: Patience at the time of calamity - كتاب الفتن
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" الْمُؤْمِنُ الَّذِي يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لاَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَلاَ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ " .
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“The believer who mixes with people and bears their annoyance
with patience will have a greater reward than the believer who does
not mix with people and does not put up with their annoyance.”
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“There are three things, whoever has them has found the taste
of
faith (One of the narrators) Bundar said: ‘The sweetness of
faith;
When he loves a man and only loves him for the sake of Allah.
When
Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything
else;
and when being thrown into the fire is dearer to him than going
back
to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it.”
It was narrated from Abu Darda’ that my close friend (ﷺ) advised
me:
“Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are cut and
burned. Do not neglect any prescribd prayer deliberately, for whoever
neglects it deliberately no longer has the protection of Allah. And
do
not drink wine, for it is the key to all evil.”
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“There will come to the people years of treachery, when the
liar
will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded
as a
liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful
man
will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide
matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile
and
base men who control the affairs of the people.’”
حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَيَتَمَرَّغَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَكَانَ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ وَلَيْسَ بِهِ الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْبَلاَءُ " .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, this world will not
pass
away until a man will pass by a grave, and will roll on it and
say:
‘Would that I were in the place of the occupant of this
grave!’ And
the reason for that will not be any religious motive,
rather it will
be because of calamity.”
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، - يَعْنِي مَوْلَى مُسَافِعٍ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" لَتُنْتَقَوُنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنْ أَغْفَالِهِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ " .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected
(separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and
the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.”
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Adhering to religion will only become harder and worldly
affairs will only become more difficult, and people will only become
more stingy, and the Hour will only come upon the worst of people,
and
the only Mahdi (after Muhammad (ﷺ)) is ‘Eisa bin Maryam.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ، قَالَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالَ
" لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ الدَّجَّالُ وَالدُّخَانُ وَطُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا " .
It was narrated that Hudhaifah bin Asid said:
"The Prophet (ﷺ)
looked out at us from a room, when we were talking about the Hour. He
said: 'The Hour will not begin until there are ten signs: Dajjal,
(False Christ), the smoke, and the rising of the sun from the west.'"
“I came to the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) during the campaign of Tabuk, when he was in a tent made
of
leather, so I sat in front of the tent. The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: ‘Enter, O ‘Awf.’ I said, ‘All of me, O Messenger
of Allah?’ He
said: ‘All of you.’ Then he said: ‘O ‘Awf,
remember six things (that
will occur) before the Hour comes, one of
which is my death.’ I was
very shocked and saddened at that. He
said: ‘Count that as the first.
Then (will come) the conquest of
Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem); then a
disease which will appear among you
and cause you and your offspring
to die as martyrs and will purify
your deeds; then there will be
(much) wealth among you, so that if a
man were to be given one hundred
Dinar he would still be
dissatisfied; and there will be tribulation
among you that will not
leave any Muslim house untouched;* then there
will be a treaty
between you and the Romans, then they will betray you
and march
against you with eighty banners, under each of which will be
twelve
thousand (troops).’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ فَقَالَ " مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْحُفَاةُ الْعُرَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْغَنَمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ " . فَتَلاَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ} الآيَةَ .
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
came out one day to the people, and a man came to him and said:
‘O
Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be?’ He said: ‘The
one who is
asked about it does not know more than the one who is
asking. But I
will tell you of its portents. When the slave woman
gives birth to her
mistress, that is one of its portents. When the
barefoot and naked
become leaders of the people, that is one of its
portents. When
shepherds compete in constructing buildings, that is
one of its
portents. (The Hour) is one of five (things) which no one
knows except
Allah.’ Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the
words: “Verily,
Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the
Hour, He sends down
the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs.
(to the end of the
Verse).”[31:34]
“Shall I not tell you a
Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which no one
will tell you after me? I heard it from him (saying): ‘Among the
portents of the Hour are that knowledge will be taken away and
ignorance will prevail, illegal sex will become widespread and wine
will be drunk, and men will disappear and women will be left, until
there is one man in charge of fifty women.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَفِيضَ الْمَالُ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ " . قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ " . ثَلاَثًا .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“The Hour will not begin until wealth becomes abundant and
tribulations appear, and Harj increases.” They said: “What is
Harj, O
Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Killing, killing,
killing,” three
times.
“The Prophet (ﷺ)
mentioned something and said: ‘That will be at the time when
knowledge
(of Qur’an) disappears.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, how will
knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and
teach it to our
children, until the Day of Resurrection?’ He said:
‘May your mother be
bereft of you, Ziyad! I thought that you were
the wisest man in Al-
Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and
Christians read the
Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon
anything of what is in
them?’”
It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wears
out, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites
and charity are. The Book of Allah will be taken away at night, and
not one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be some
people left, old men and old women, who will say: “We saw our
fathers saying these words: ‘La ilaha illallah’ so we say them
too.” Silah said to him: “What good will (saying): La ilaha
illallah do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer,
(pilgrimage) rites and charity are?” Hudhaifah turned away from
his. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned away
from him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said:
“O Silah! It will save them from Hell,” three times.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Just before the Hour, there will be days when knowledge will
disappear, ignorance will become widespread and there will be much
Harj. And Harj means killing.”
