حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ اتْرُكُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَسْتَخْرِجُ كَنْزَ الْكَعْبَةِ إِلاَّ ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, for it is only the Abyssinian with short legs who will seek to take out the treasure of the Ka'bah

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #4309 in Sunan Abi Dawud.

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : Al-Albani: Hasan | Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid: Hasan | Zubair Ali Zai: Isnaad Hasan.

[Core Subject]: Near the end, a man from Abyssinia called Dhu al-Suwayqatayn ('the one with two thin shins') will tear down the Ka'bah stone by stone.

[Described Characteristics]: He is described as black, with splayed legs, pulling the stones out one by one and taking its treasure. After that, the Ka'bah is not rebuilt.

[Timeline & Context]: Scholars such as Ibn Hajar place it after the death of Isa (AS) and the gentle wind, when no one is left who says 'Allah, Allah', so no believer is there to defend it.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Make much of this House (by Hajj and Umrah) before it is lifted.'
