Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

ثنا الحكم بن نافع، عن جراح، عن أرطاة، عمن حدثه عن كعب، قال: «يدنو الرب إلى السماء فيرد الماء إلى عنصره، وترجف الأرض، ويخر الناس لوجوههم سجدا، ويعتقون عامة أرقائهم، ثم تسكن زمانا، ثم تعود فتزلزل بأهلها أشد من المرة الأولى، فيعتقون عامة أرقائهم، ثم تتصدع ويخسف بطائفة من الأرض وأوديتها والناس، حتى أن الرجل ليسري فيمر بالحي وهم سالمون، وآخرون مخسوف بهم، وإن الرجلين ليطحنان فتصيبهما الصعقة، فيموت أحدهما، أو تصيبهما في نومهما، كذلك وتستصعب الأرض زلزالا كالبرذون الفحل الصعب، حتى يلجأ أهل المدن والقرى إلى الجبال، فيكونون مع السباع، وتحشر حلية الأرض ذهبها وفضتها إلى بيت المقدس، وحتى يفتح الرجل والمرأة السفط والجونة فلا يجدان من حليهما شيئا، ويتقعقع خشب بيت المقدس وسقفه، وتهلك المراعي والدواب، وينقطع ملك الجزيرة وأرمينية، وييبس شجرهما، وتهلك دوابهما من الزلزلة، ويشبعهما جوعا، وحتى أن الرجل ليثور ليتقلع من مكانه فيهرب ثلاث مرات، كل ذلك يرد إلى موضعه، فيكون آخر انقلاعه وفراره إلى طبرية، فيثب عليها، ويتعوذ إلى الله باسمه المقدس، ألا يعيده فيقره، وتغلو الخيل فتطلب الفرس بالمال الكثير فلا يصاب»

The Lord approaches the sky and returns the water to his element, and the earth trembles, and the people bow down with their faces prostrated, and free most of their slaves. Then it calms down for a while, then returns, and it shakes its people more severely than the first time, and they free most of their slaves. Then it cracks and eclipses a portion of the earth, its valleys, and the people, to the point that a man walks and passes through the neighborhood and they are unharmed, and others are eclipsed by them, and the two men will grind, and a thunderbolt will strike them, and one of them will die, or They will also be afflicted in their sleep, and the earth will suffer an earthquake like the burrows of a hard stallion, until the people of the cities and villages take refuge in the mountains and are with the wild beasts, and the jewels of the earth will cram their gold and silver into Jerusalem, and until the man and woman open the baskets and basins and they will not find any of their jewellery, and the wood and roof of Jerusalem will rattle, the pastures and animals will perish, the kingdom of the peninsula and Armenia will be cut off, their trees will wither, and their animals will perish from the earth. The earthquake, and satiates them with hunger, and the man even rebels and takes off from his place and escapes three times, all of that is returned to his place, so his last take-off and escape is to Tiberias, so he leaps upon it, and seeks refuge with Allah in His holy name not to bring him back and make him poor.

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1690 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

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