کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Naim told us, Abu Omar told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Harith, on the authority of Abdullah, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “When Jesus, son of Mary, descends and kills the Dajjal, enjoy until they come on the night the sun rises from the west, and until they enjoy forty years after the animal has left, and no one dies or gets sick, and the man says to his sheep and animals: Go and graze in Such-and-such place, and come at such-and-such an hour, and the cattle pass between the two crops without eating an ear of it, nor breaking a stick with their hooves, and snakes and scorpions are visible and do not harm anyone, and no one harms them, and seven hundred muds are at the gates of houses, they are filled with rain and do not harm anyone.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:The (Last) Hour shall not came till the sun rises from the place of its setting And on the day when it rises from the place of its setting even if all the people together affirmed their faith, it would not be of any avail to one who did not believe previously and derived no good out of his belief

Jesus and his companions will respond to Gog and Magog, then they will live until they live the night the sun rises from the west, and until they will enjoy forty years of blessing and security after the appearance of the beast of the earth.

Abu Omar told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abd al-Wahhab ibn Husayn, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of al-Harith, on the authority of Abdullah, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “You will not remain after Gog and Magog except a little, until the sun rises from the west, and those who have no creation say: We do not care if Allah returns His light to us from where it rises, from its east or from its west.” He said: Then they hear a call from the sky: Oh O you who have believed, your faith has been accepted from you, and your deeds have been removed from you. O you who disbelieved, the doors of repentance have been closed for you, the pens have dried up and the pages have been folded, so no repentance will be accepted from anyone, nor will there be faith except he who has believed before that. After that, the believer will not give birth except a believer, nor will the disbeliever give birth except an unbeliever, and Satan will fall down in prostration, calling: My Allah, command me to prostrate to whomever you wish and whatever you wish, and devils gather to him and say to him: O our master, to whom? Are we terrified? He says: I only asked my Lord to watch over me until the Day of Resurrection and the day of the known time, and the sun has risen from the west, which is the known time, so there will be no work after today, and the devils will become visible on the earth, until the man says: This is my companion who was tempting me, and praise be to Allah who disgraced him and relieved me of him, and the people look at the jinn and the devils, their eating and drinking, their living and their death, and Satan continues to prostrate and weep until an animal of the earth comes out and kills him.

When the sun rises from the west, mothers will be distracted from their children, and beloved ones will be distracted from the fruits of their hearts, and every soul will be preoccupied with what he has given it. After that no repentance will be accepted for anyone except one who has been good in his faith, for it will be written for him after that as it was written for them before that. As for the disbelievers, it will be sorrow and remorse for them. If a man produced a horse, he would not ride it until the Hour comes from the time the sun rises from the west until the Hour rises, and the Hour will come and the people will be in In their markets, the two men have spread the garment and do not sell it nor fold it, and the man has raised his piece of food to his mouth and does not feed it.

Between every two there are forty years, forty months, and forty days, until the sun rises from the west
