Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

After the capture of Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), Allah Almighty sends the souls of the believers with that sweet wind, a fire that comes out from the corners of the earth, gathering people, animals, and corn to the Levant.

Abu Muawiyah told us, on the authority of Omar bin Muhammad, on the authority of Salem bin Abdullah bin Omar, that he said, while we were descending from Hersha, he looked at a mountain to his left and said: “The people will be gathered, and only two men will remain in this mountain, and one of them will say to his companion: O so-and-so, go and see what the people have done, and when they are aligned with this crease, the crease of Hersha, they will be crammed on their faces.”

Naim told us, Yazid bin Harun told us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of Abu Bishr, on the authority of a man, from the people of Medina, who said: I heard Abu Hurairah say: “People will be gathered into three groups: groups on their faces, groups on camels, and groups on their feet.”
