Sahih al-Bukhari 3443 (Book 61, Hadith 102)
destitution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The
Prophet said, “Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?” I said, “I haven’t been to it, but I was informed about
it.” He said, “If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah
traveling from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba, fearing none
but Allah.” I said to myself, “What will happen to the robbers of the tribe of Tai who have spread evil
through out the country?” The Prophet (ﷺ) further said. “If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau
will be opened (and taken as spoils).” I asked, “You mean Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?” He said,
“Khosrau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see that one will carry a handful of
gold or silver and go out looking for a person to accept it from him, but will find none to accept it
from him. And any of you, when meeting Allah, will meet Him without needing an interpreter
between him and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: ‘Didn’t I send a messenger to
teach you?’ He will say: ‘Yes.’ Allah will say: ‘Didn’t I give you wealth and do you favors?’ He will
say: ‘Yes.’ Then he will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing
but Hell.”
`Adi further said: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date
(to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word.” `Adi
added: (later on) I saw a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf of the
Ka`ba, fearing none but Allah. And I was one of those who opened (conquered) the treasures of
Khosrau, son of Hurmuz. If you should live long, you will see what the Prophet (ﷺ) Abu-l-Qasim had
said: ‘A person will come out with a handful. of gold…etc.
