Abu al-Hasan Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Dawudi informed us; Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Salt informed us; Abu Ishaq al-Hashimi related to us; al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan related to us; Ibn al-Mubarak related to us; Mamar ibn Rashid informed us, from one who heard al-Maqburi narrate from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “What does any one of you await from this world except wealth that leads him to transgress, poverty that makes him forget, illness that debilitates him, senility that destroys his faculties, death that brings him to an end, the Dajjal—for the Dajjal is the worst absent one to be awaited—or the Hour? The Hour is more calamitous and more bitter.” (1)

Regarding His words, exalted is He, “Yet its signs have already come”: that is, its indications and signs. The singular is shart, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was among the signs of the Hour.

Abd al-Wahid al-Malihi informed us; Ahmad ibn Abd Allah al-Nuaymi informed us; Muhammad ibn Yusuf informed us; Muhammad ibn Ismail related to us; Hafs ibn Umar al-Hawdi related to us; Hisham related to us, from Qatadah, from Anas, who said: I shall narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and which no one other than I shall narrate to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: “Among the signs of the Hour are that knowledge will be taken away, ignorance will become widespread, fornication will become widespread, the drinking of wine will become widespread, men will decrease and women will increase, until one man will be responsible for fifty women.” (3)

Abd al-Wahid al-Malihi informed us; Ahmad ibn Abd Allah al-Nuaymi informed us; Muhammad ibn Yusuf informed us; Muhammad ibn Ismail related to us; Muhammad ibn Sinan related to us; Fulayh related to us; Hilal ibn Ali related to me, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: While the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was speaking to the people in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked, “When will the Hour be?” The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, continued speaking. Some of ⦗127/b⦘ the people said, “He heard what the man said but disliked it.” Others said, “Rather, he did not hear him.” When he had finished speaking, he said, “Where is the one who asked about the Hour?” He said, “Here I am, O Messenger of

(1) Reported by al-Hakim, 4:320-321, who said: “If Ma'mar ibn Rashid heard it from al-Maqburi, then the hadith is authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs, although they did not include it.” The compiler also cites it in Sharh al-Sunnah, 14:224-225. Its editor said: “Its chain of transmission is weak because the intermediary between Ma'mar ibn Rashid and Sa'id al-Maqburi is unknown.” (2) Reported by al-Bukhari, Book of Quranic Exegesis, Exegesis of Surat al-Nazi'at, 8:691; Muslim, Book of Tribulations, chapter: The Nearness of the Hour, no. 2950, 4:2268; and cited by the compiler in Sharh al-Sunnah, 15:98. (3) Reported by al-Bukhari, Book of Knowledge, chapter: The Removal of Knowledge and the Appearance of Ignorance, 1:178; Muslim, Book of Knowledge, chapter: The Removal and Seizure of Knowledge, no. 2671, 4:2056; and cited by the compiler in Sharh al-Sunnah, 1:315.
