Riyad as-Salihin: Book 18, Hadith 15
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not come to pass before the River Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die (in the fighting) and every man amongst them will say: ‘Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive.”‘Another narration is: “The time is near when the River Euphrates will dry up to unveil a treasure of gold. Whosoever may be alive at that time, should not take anything of it.”
وعنه رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ” لا تقوم الساعة حتى يحسر الفرات عن جبل من ذهب يقتتل عليه، فيقتل من كل مائة تسعة وتسعون، فيقول كل رجل منه: لعلي أن أكون أنا أنجو”. وفي رواية: ”يوشك أن يحسر الفرات عن كنز من ذهب، فمن حضره فلا يأخذ منه شيئاً” ((متفق عليه)).
