Everything Will Perish Except Central Africa

  1. Some of the elders of the army-province: When Khālid b. Yazīd b. Mu`āwiya was an overseer for Marwān b. al-Ḥakam,64 while he was staying at the house of `Umar b. Marwān, he had a knife with him, and a scroll. Suddenly he said: “The five and the ten have passed, but the twenty remain, whose evil will be common east and west—none will survive them other than the people of Anțablus.” Shufayy b. `Ubayd said to him: “May God make you righteous, what is this?” He said: “The first tribulation was five, the second was ten years, the tribulation of Ibn al-Zubayr, then the third will be twenty years, whose evil will be common east and west—none will survive them other than the people of Tortosa.” (Close to Barqa, the pre-Islamic region of Cyrenaica (present-day Benghazi in Libya)).
  2. Ḥudhayfa: The tribulations [28] that the Messenger of God enumerated until the Hour will arise are four: the first of them the book of tribulations is five [years], the second is ten, the third is twenty, and the fourth is the Dajjāl.

The Dajjal Will Come After The River Euphrates Dries Up Which Is After The Comet Hits, When It Does The Entire Mediterranean Coast Will Disappear In The Tsunami’s That Will Occur, This Hadith Is An Allusion To The Islamic Countries Of Central And Northern Africa, The Most Isolated Places In The Shahara Desert, With No Electricity Or Television For The Evil Of The Dajjal To Enter Through.

  1. Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb: There will be a tribulation which will encompass all of the people; none but the western army- province will be safe from it.
  2. `Imrān b. Ḥaṣīn: The Prophet said: There will be four tribu lations: in the first shedding blood will be permitted, in the second blood and wealth will be permitted, in the third, blood, wealth and sexual abuse will be permitted, and the fourth will be the Dajjāl.
  3. `Abdallāh b. Mas`ūd: The Messenger of God said to us: “I warn you of seven tribulations that will happen after me—a tribula tion that will come from Medina, a tribulation that will come from Mecca, a tribulation that will come from the Yemen, a tribulation that will come from Syria, a tribulation that will come from the east, a tribulation that will come from the west, and a tribulation that will come from within Syria, which is the tribulation of the Sufyānī.” Ibn Mas`ūd said: “Some of you will see the first, and from this community some will see the last.” Al-Walīd b. `Ayyāsh68 said: “The tribulation from Medina was that of Țalḥa and al-Zubayr, and the tribulation of Mecca was that of Ibn al-Zubayr. The tribulation of the Yemen was that of Najda,70 while the tribulation of Syria was the Umayyads, and the tribulation of the east was those [the `Abbāsids].”
  4. Abū Hurayra: The Messenger of God said: “There will be four tribulations after me. In the first blood will be spilled, in the second, blood and wealth will be permitted, in the third, blood, wealth and sexual abuse, and the fourth, the ‘blind deaf one,’ in which my community will be scraped like leather.”
  5. Abū Hurayra: The Messenger of God said: Four tribulations will come upon you after me. In the first, blood will be permit ted, in the second blood and wealth, in the third, blood, wealth and sexual abuse, while in the fourth, the deaf blind one, over whelming, tossing like the waves in the sea, until none of the people will find a refuge from it. The [tribulations] will appear in Syria, strike Iraq, trample al-Jazīra with its arm and leg, [29] and because of the trial, the community will be scraped like leather. None of the people will be able to say: “Easy, easy!” They will not be able to lift it from one side without it breaking down on the other.
  6. Abū Hurayra: The Messenger of God said concerning His Word, Most High, “or to confuse you (into different) parties,” he said: “Four tribulations will follow. In the first one, blood will be permitted, in the second, blood and wealth will be permitted, in the third, blood, wealth and sexual abuse, but the fourth, the blind dark-night, tossing like the waves in the sea, will spread out until there is no Arab house into which it has not entered.”
  7. Arțāt b. al-Mundhir: It has reached me that the Messenger of God said: “There will be four tribulations in my community— at the end, continuous tribulations will strike my community. As for the first, trial will strike them, such that the believer will say: ‘This is my destruction!’ Then the second will be revealed, such that the believer will say: ‘This is my destruction!’ Then the third will be revealed—every time it is said that it has finished, it returns. In the fourth tribulation they go towards unbelief, since the community will be with this one for a while, then that one, with an imam but without community (jamā`a). Then the Messiah [Jesus], and then the rising of the sun from the west. Short of the Hour there will be seventy-two the book of tribulations deceivers (dajjāl); among them there will be those who only one man will follow.”
  8. Ḥudhayfa: The tribulations are three: the fourth will lead them to the Dajjāl, the [tribulation] which will cast red-hot stones, [the one] which will cast black basalt stones, the black dark night one, and the one which will toss like the sea.
