Some reject the hadiths of the signs of the Hour <ref>http://bayanelislam.net/Suspicion.aspx?id=03-02-0071</ref>, because a Quranic verse indicates that the Hour will come by surprise (not after seeing clear signs) and that only Allah has knowledge about the Hour (not Muhammad): | |||

== | ==Retrodictions and Reiterating Biblical Prophecy== | ||
The hadith collections were written, often by Persian authors, hundreds of years after the death of Muhammad. So when the hadiths contain a prophecy about early Islamic history, they are likely only being attributed to Muhammad after the fact, a phenomenon referred to in religious studies as "vaticinium ex eventu" or "prophecy after the fact." This category also includes things that always happened, even before Islam (earthquakes, wars, people being dishonest...) and prophecies copied from the Bible. | |||
===Fabrication of hadiths=== | |||
{{Quote|Sahih Muslim, Introduction, Narration 15 https://sunnah.com/muslim:7| | |||
يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ دَجَّالُونَ كَذَّابُونَ يَأْتُونَكُمْ مِنَ الأَحَادِيثِ بِمَا لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلاَ آبَاؤُكُمْ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ لاَ يُضِلُّونَكُمْ وَلاَ يَفْتِنُونَكُمْ | |||
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, said: | |||
‘There will be in the end of time charlatan liars coming to you with narrations (hadiths) that you nor your fathers heard, so beware of them lest they misguide you and cause you tribulations’. | |||
}} | |||
This hadith must in fact be fabricated; there's no evidence that the words and deeds of the prophet were collected in hadith collections at all during his lifetime, since if his opinion was needed on a subject he could just be asked, and there's no evidence of any of these narrations before the dawn of the 8th century. That the author felt the need to fabricate a hadith to stop other people from fabricating hadiths is telling. | |||

===Rulership of the foolish after Muhammad=== | |||
{{Quote|Mishkat al-Masabih 3700| | |||
Ka'b b. ‘Ujra told that God's Messenger said to him, “I commend you to God to protect you from '''the rulership of the foolish''' (إمارةِ السُّفهاءِ).” He asked what that was, and God’s Messenger replied, “'''After my time''' governors will arise whose falsehood will be believed and who will be assisted in their oppression by those who enter their presence. They have nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with them, and they will never come down to me at the Pond. But they who do not enter their presence, believe their falsehood and help them in their oppression, those belong to me and I belong to them, and those ones will come down to me at the Pond.”}} | |||

The hadith was sent to a new caliph Umar II: | |||
{{Quote|Musnad Ahmad 4/273, 18430 (hasan)| | |||
حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي ثنا سليمان بن داود الطيالسي حدثني داود بن إبراهيم الواسطي حدثني حبيب بن سالم عن النعمان بن بشير قال : كنا قعودا في المسجد مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم وكان بشير رجلا يكف حديثه فجاء أبو ثعلبة الخشني فقال يا بشير بن سعد أتحفظ حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم في الأمراء فقال حذيفة أنا أحفظ خطبته فجلس أبو ثعلبة فقال حذيفة قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم تكون النبوة فيكم ما شاء الله ان تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء ان يرفعها ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة فتكون ما شاء الله ان تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء الله أن يرفعها ثم تكون ملكا عاضا فيكون ما شاء الله ان يكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون ملكا جبرية فتكون ما شاء الله ان تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء ان يرفعها ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة ثم سكت قال حبيب فلما قام عمر بن عبد العزيز وكان يزيد بن النعمان بن بشير في صحابته فكتبت إليه بهذا الحديث أذكره إياه فقلت له انى أرجو ان يكون أمير المؤمنين يعنى عمر بعد الملك العاض والجبرية فادخل كتابي على عمر بن عبد العزيز فسر به وأعجبه | |||

It was narrated by Ahmed in his Musnad, from Al-Nu’man b.Bashir, who said: “We were sitting in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah(saw), and Bashir was a man who did not speak much, so Abu Tha’labah Al-Khashnee came and said: ‘Oh, Bashir bin Sa’ad, have you memorized the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw) regarding the rulers?’ Huthayfah replied, ‘I have memorized his words’. So Abu Tha’labah sat down and Huthayfah said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) said ‘'''Prophet-hood will be among you''' as long as Allah wishes, then He will lift it up when He wishes to lift it up. '''Then there will be a Khilafah on the way of the Prophet''', and it will be as long as Allah wishes it to be, then Allah will lift it up when He wishes to lift it up. '''Then there will be an inheritance rule''', and it will last as long as Allah wishes it to, then Allah will lift it up when He wishes to lift it up. '''Then there will be a coercive rule''', and it will last as long as Allah wishes it to be, then Allah will lift it up when He wishes to lift it up. '''Then there will be a Khilafah on the way of Prophet-hood'''.’ Then he (saw) was silent.” Habib said: “When '''Umar ibn AbdulAziz became caliph I wrote to him, mentioning this tradition to him''' and saying, “I hope '''you will be the commander of the faithful after the biting and the oppressive kingdoms'''. ”It pleased and charmed him, i.e. Umar ibn AbdulAziz.” | |||

Umar II died in 720 and he was expected to bring back the good old caliphate. Musnad Ahmad was written in the 9th century. | |||

===Muhammad's wife with the longest arm will die first=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|2|24|501}}| | |||
Narrated 'Aisha: | |||
Some of the wives of the Prophet asked him, "Who amongst us will be the first to follow you (i.e. die after you)?" He said, "Whoever has the longest hand." So they started measuring their hands with a stick and Sauda's hand turned out to be the longest. (When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all in the caliphate of 'Umar), we came to know that the long hand was a symbol of practicing charity, so she was the first to follow the Prophet and she used to love to practice charity. (Sauda died later in the caliphate of Muawiya). | |||

===Muhammad's daughter Fatima will die first from his family=== | |||
During Muhammad's illness, Fatima was walking like Muhammad, so she also had signs of illness: | |||

`A'isha reported that all the wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had gathered (in her apartment) '''during the days of his (Prophet's) last illness ''' and no woman was left behind that '''Fatima, who walked after the style of Allah's Messenger''' (ﷺ), came there. He welcomed her by saying: | |||
You are welcome, my daughter, and made her sit on his right side or on his left side, and then talked something secretly to her and Fatima wept. Then he talked something secretly to her and she laughed. I said to her: What makes you weep? She said: I am not going to divulge the secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I (`A'isha) said: I have not seen (anything happening) like today, the happiness being more close to grief (as I see today) when she wept. I said to her: Has Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) singled you out for saying something leaving us aside? She then wept and I asked her what he said, and she said: I am not going to divulge the secrets of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). And when he died I again asked her and she said that he (the Holy Prophet) told her: Gabriel used to recite the Qur'an to me once a year and for this year it was twice and so I perceived that my death had drawn near, and that '''I (Fatima) would be the first amongst the members of his family who would meet him (in the Hereafter)'''. He shall be my good forerunner and it made me weep. He again talked to me secretly (saying): Aren't you pleased that you should be the sovereign amongst the believing women or the head of women of this Ummah? And this made me laugh. | |||

===A plague kills many Muslims=== | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|4|53|401}}| | |||
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said, "Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, '''a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep''', the increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers. | |||

===Automobiles (actually camels with lofty saddles)=== | |||
Muhammad forbade riding on ''mayathir'' (مياثر) (silk saddles), so mayathir were something already known: | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|8|74|253}}| | |||
..He forbade us to drink from silver utensils, to wear gold rings, '''to ride on silken saddles (ركوب المياثر)''', to wear silk clothes.. | |||
}} | |||
There is a prophecy about people riding on mayathir at the end of times: | |||
{{Quote|al-Mustadrak 4 / 436 (hasan)| | |||
سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ رِجَالٌ يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى الْمَيَاثِرِ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا أَبْوَابَ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ | |||
They will mount their mayaathir until they come to the doors of their mosques | |||
}} | |||
Albani explained: | |||
{{Quote|Tafsir by Albani| | |||
the word mayaathir is the plural of meetharah and Ibn al-Athir described it as, “… smooth and soft, made out of silk or a silk brocade [heavy silk] which the rider places beneath him on the saddle on top of the camel. | |||
}} | |||
And a re-iteration of the same prophecy: | |||
{{Quote|Musnad Ahmad 654/11 (hasan)| | |||
يكون في آخر أمتي رجال يركبون على سرج كأشباه الرحال ينزلون على أبواب المساجد نساؤهم كاسيات عاريات | |||
In the last [part] of my nation there will be men who ride on '''saddles that resemble packsaddles''' (سرج كأشباه الرحال). They will alight at the doors of the mosques. Their women are clothed but naked. On their heads are [what appears to be] like the humps of [lean] camels. Curse them for they are cursed. If there were a nation from the nations to come after you, your women would serve them, just as the women of the nations that were before you served you. | |||
}} | |||
Some try to translate سرج كأشباه الرحال as "carriots" or "cars", but: | |||
*سَرْج means "saddlebag; packsaddle; saddle; pigskin; pillion" <ref>https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%AC/</ref> | |||

Another hadith mentions Romans attacking Dabiq before the conquest of Constantinople. The mention of swords makes it hard to re-interpret as a prophecy about another conquest of Constantinople in the future: | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|41|6924}}| | |||
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: | |||
The Last Hour would not come until '''the Romans would land at al-A'maq or in Dabiq'''. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah's eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their '''swords''' by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: '''The Dajjal''' has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ). | |||

When he mentioned the one when people should stay in their houses, some asked him: Messenger of Allah, what is the trial (fitnah) of staying at home? | |||
He replied: It will be flight and plunder. Then will come a test which is pleasant. Its murkiness is due to the fact that it is produced by a man from the people of my house, who will assert that he belongs to me, whereas he does not, for my friends are only the God-fearing. Then the people will unite under a man who will be like a hip-bone on a rib. Then there will be the little black trial which will leave none of this community without giving him a slap, and when people say that it is finished, it will be extended. During it a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, so that the people will be in two camps: the camp of faith which will contain no hypocrisy, and the camp of hypocrisy which will contain no faith. When that happens, expect the Antichrist (Dajjal) that day or the next. | |||

But it says "played", not "placed" upon their heads, the word "instruments" is in the plural form and the singing girls are obviously real singing girls, while with head phones the singing would be included in the headphones. The interpretation that the word "musical instruments" (معازف) refers to musical instruments fits much better into the context. | |||

====Milking, clothes and tank before the Hour==== | |||

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: | |||
The Last Hour would come (so sudden) that a person would be milking the she- camel and the (milk) would not reach the brim of the vessel that the Last Hour would come, and the two persons would be engaged in buying and selling of the clothes and their bargain would not be struck before the Last Hour would come. And someone would be setting his tank in order and he would have hardly set it right when the Last Hour would come. | |||

A time will come for the people (of Medina) when a man will invite his cousin and any other near relation: Come (and settle) at (a place) where living is cheap, come to where there is plenty, but Medina will be better for them; would they know it! By Him in Whose Hand is my life, none amongst them would go out (of the city) with a dislike for it, but Allah would make his successor in it someone better than be. Behold. Medina is like furnace which eliminates from it the impurities. And '''the Last Hour will not come until Medina banishes its evils''' just as a furnace eliminates the impurities of iron. | |||

====Not paying zakat will cause a lack of rain==== | |||

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said: | |||
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to us and said: ‘O Muhajirun, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. '''They do not withhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them'''. They do not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.’” | |||

No | No mountain of gold was found uncovered by the Euphrates soon thereafter, let alone an exceptionally deadly conflict over the ownership of such gold. There is a gold mine more than a kilometer from the Euphrates which is claimed to fulfil the prophecy (the Copler mine in Erzincan province, Turkey). This was neither uncovered by the Euphrates, nor is it a mountain, nor has there been a deadly scramble to possess it. | ||
The hadith prophecy is simply one adapted from the well known Biblical apocalypse, [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016&version=NIV Revelation 16:12], "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." In Revelation, this occurs in the context of a series of bowls of wrath poured out in highly symbolic language. The meaning is very obviously not literal. | |||
