Present-day data
These numbers show the world today beside the narration. They do not decide whether the sign has appeared; that is shown only through named scholars, in the Scholars' views tab.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Hour will not come until wealth is abundant and the land of the Arabs returns to meadows and rivers. Sahih Muslim reports it in the Book of Zakat, and so do Musnad Ahmad and al-Mustadrak; the Sahih Muslim edition this archive was built from lacks it, so the copies linked here are Ahmad's and al-Hakim's. 'Returns' implies Arabia was green before, and earth scientists agree it was, in earlier humid periods. Today Saudi Arabia is planting trees on a large scale.

Read with care
- Planted trees are not the meadows and rivers the report describes. The link is shown only as context; no scholar here connects the two.
