Sahih al-Bukhari 3044 (Book 58, Hadith 18)
“Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague
that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of
wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an
affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the
Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve
thousand soldiers.
“ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ، مَوْتِي، ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ مُوتَانٌ يَأْخُذُ فِيكُمْ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ، ثُمَّ اسْتِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ سَاخِطًا، ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ لاَ يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلاَّ دَخَلَتْهُ، ثُمَّ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ، فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً، تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا ”.
Sahih al-Bukhari 3044 (Book 58, Hadith 18)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
