Ubaydullah ibn Mu'adh al-'Anbari narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, from al-Nu'man ibn Salim, who said: I heard Ya'qub ibn 'Asim ibn 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud al-Thaqafi saying: I heard 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr — and a man came to him and said: "What is this hadith that you narrate, in which you say that the Hour will come at such-and-such a time?" So he said: "Glory be to Allah — or 'There is no god but Allah,' or a similar phrase — I almost resolved never to narrate anything to anyone ever again. I only said that you will soon see a momentous matter: the House will be burned, and such-and-such will happen, and such-and-such will happen." Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Dajjal will emerge among my ummah and will remain for forty — I do not know whether it is forty days, or forty months, or forty years — then Allah will send 'Isa son of Maryam, who will resemble 'Urwah ibn Mas'ud, and he will seek him and destroy him. Then the people will remain for seven years, with no enmity between any two persons. Then Allah will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria, and there will not remain on the face of the earth anyone in whose heart is an atom's weight of good or faith, except that it will take him — even if one of you were to enter the heart of a mountain, it would enter upon him until it takes him." He said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "Then the worst of people will remain, in the lightness of birds and the intellects of beasts. They will not recognize what is right nor denounce what is wrong. The devil will appear to them and say: 'Will you not respond?' They will say: 'Then what do you command us?' He will command them to worship idols, and all the while their provision will be abundant and their life will be good. Then the Trumpet will be blown, and no one will hear it except that he will incline his neck and raise his neck." He said: "And the first to hear it will be a man tending the watering trough of his camels." He said: "He will be struck down, and the people will be struck down. Then Allah will send — or he said: Allah will send down — rain like dew or like shade (al-Nu'man is the one who doubted), and from it the bodies of the people will grow. Then it will be blown a second time, and behold, they will be standing, looking on. Then it will be said: 'O people, come to your Lord. And stop them, for they will be questioned.'" He said: "Then it will be said: 'Bring out the company of the Fire.' It will be said: 'From how many?' It will be said: 'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine.'" He said: "That is the Day when children will become grey-haired, and that is the Day when the shin will be uncovered."
