حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، قال: أنبأنا سفيان بن حسين، عن هشام بن يوسف، عن عوف بن مالك، قال: استأذنت على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: أدخل كلي أو بعضي؟ قال: " ادخل كلك " فدخلت عليه وهو يتوضأ وضوءا مكيثا، فقال لي: " يا عوف بن مالك، ستا قبل الساعة: موت نبيكم خذ إحدى، ثم فتح بيت المقدس، ثم موت يأخذكم تقعصون فيه كما تقعص الغنم، ثم تظهر الفتن، ويكثر المال حتى يعطى الرجل الواحد مائة دينار فيسخطها، ثم يأتيكم بنو الأصفر تحت ثمانين غاية تحت كل غاية اثنا عشر ألفا " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #23971 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Al-Rum, the Romans, were the Byzantine Empire in the Prophet's time. Many narrations about the end speak of the Muslims' relations with them: a truce, a joint war, then the great battle.

[Described Characteristics]: Amr ibn al-As heard that the Hour will come when the Romans are the most numerous of people, and he listed their good qualities: they are the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after a disaster, the best to the poor, orphans and the weak, and they resist the oppression of kings.

[Timeline & Context]: Their part runs through the whole time before the Dajjal: first the truce, then the war, then the conquest of Constantinople.

[Prophetic Practice]: Amr's words teach fairness: name the good in others even when speaking of conflict.

[Core Subject]: Wealth increases until it overflows, and a man goes out with his charity and finds no one to accept it.

[Described Characteristics]: The owner of wealth worries about who will accept his zakah. When he offers it, the other says, 'I have no need of it.'

[Timeline & Context]: It has come in waves: it was seen in the time of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and it will come again in the time of Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Give charity, for a time will come when a man walks with his charity and finds no one to take it.' Give while it can still be accepted.

[Core Subject]: In the hardest days, when the Muslims were few and besieged, the Prophet ﷺ foretold that they would conquer Persia, Rome, Yemen, Sham, Iraq, Egypt and Jerusalem.

[Described Characteristics]: While digging the trench around Madinah, he struck a rock and said he had been given the keys of Sham, Persia and Yemen. He told Adi ibn Hatim that a woman would travel alone from al-Hirah to the Ka'bah fearing no one but Allah, and that the treasures of Kisra would be spent in the path of Allah. Adi lived to see both. He told Suraqah he would wear Kisra's bracelets; Umar put them on him.

[Timeline & Context]: They came in the first decades after the Prophet ﷺ: Jerusalem in 15-16 AH, Egypt in 20-21 AH, and Persia by about 31 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: Hope in Allah's promise even in the narrowest times, as the Companions did at the trench.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem).
