Mention of the Occurrence of Three Landslides

Mention of the Passing Away of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)

Mention That Mountains Will Move from Their Places

Mention of the Abundance and Overflowing of Wealth

And among them: The abundance and overflowing of wealth:

The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes abundant among you and overflows, to the extent that the owner of wealth will be concerned about who will accept his charity, and he will offer it, but the one to whom it is offered will say: 'I have no need (i.e., no desire) for it.'"

And this occurred during the era of 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), when conquests multiplied to the point that they divided the wealth of the Persians and the Romans; and it occurred during the era of 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man would offer his wealth for charity and find no one to accept it. And it will occur at the end of time during the era of 'Isa (peace and blessings be upon him), which will be mentioned in the third section.

And among them: That mountains will move from their places:

Al-Tabarani narrated from Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Hour will not be established until mountains move from their places."

Al-Suyuti recorded in "Tarikh al-Khulafa'" that in the year two hundred and forty-two, during the caliphate of al-Mutawakkil, a mountain in Yemen containing farmlands belonging to its people shifted until it reached the farmlands of others; and in the year three hundred, during the caliphate of al-Muqtadir, a mountain in Dinawar sank into the earth, and an abundance of water emerged from beneath it, drowning the surrounding villages.

And among them: The passing away of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them):

On the authority of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ): "The Hour will not be established until a man from my Companions is sought just as a lost item is sought, yet cannot be found." Narrated by Ahmad.

And among them: The occurrence of three landslides:

On the authority of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): "After me there will be a landslide in the East, a landslide in the West, and a landslide in the Arabian Peninsula." It was asked: "Will the earth sink while the righteous are among them?!"
