Bakkār, from Mukhallad ibn Yazīd, from Yūnus ibn Abī Isḥāq, and he recorded—through this chain—a narration of similar purport (1).

Aḥmad said:
ʿAbd al-Quddūs ibn al-Ḥajjāj narrated to us; Ḥarīz—meaning Ibn ʿUthmān al-Raḥabī—narrated to us; Rāshid ibn Saʿd al-Maqraʾī narrated to us, from Abū Ḥayy, from Dhū Mikhamr, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“This authority once rested with Himyar; Allah removed it from them and placed it among Quraysh, and it will return to them.”

ʿAbd Allah ibn Aḥmad said: This is how it appears in my father’s written copy—broken into segments—and when he related it to us he recited it evenly (2) (3).

Abū Dāwūd said:
Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd narrated to us; Ḥammād ibn Zayd narrated to us; al-Layth narrated, from Ṭāwūs, from a man called Ziyād, from ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr, who said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“There will be a tribulation that will sweep away the Arabs; its slain will be in the Fire, and the tongue in it is sharper than the stroke of the sword.”

Aḥmad also transmitted it—from Aswad ibn ʿĀmir, from Ḥammād ibn Salamah—as did al-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah, via his narration from al-Layth, from Ṭāwūs, from Ziyād, who was non-Arab and was also called Ziyād Simīn Kūsh (4).

Al-Tirmidhī reported from al-Bukhārī that this Ziyād has no other hadith besides this one, and that Ḥammād ibn Zayd transmitted it from al-Layth as a mawqūf report. Ibn ʿAsākir, however, corrected al-Bukhārī regarding this narration, for Abū Dāwūd recorded it through Ḥammād ibn Zayd as marfūʿ. Allah knows best (5).

Abū Dāwūd said:
ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Shuʿayb narrated to us; Ibn Wahb narrated to us; al-Layth related to me, from Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd, who said: Khālid ibn Abī ʿImrān reported, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Bīlmānī, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Hurmuz, from Abū Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“There will be a tribulation that is deaf, dumb, and blind. Whoever exposes himself to it will be overtaken by it, and exposing the tongue during it is like being struck by the sword.” (6)

Imām Aḥmad said:
Wakīʿ narrated to us—and Abū Muʿāwiyah likewise—al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Rabb al-Kaʿbah, from ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr—while I was sitting with him in the shade of the Kaʿbah as he addressed the people—who said:

We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. We halted at a stopping place; some of us pitched our tents, and some of us
