‘Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i said:
“I came to the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) during the campaign of Tabuk, when he was in a tent made
of
leather, so I sat in front of the tent. The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: ‘Enter, O ‘Awf.’ I said, ‘All of me, O Messenger
of Allah?’ He
said: ‘All of you.’ Then he said: ‘O ‘Awf,
remember six things (that
will occur) before the Hour comes, one of
which is my death.’ I was
very shocked and saddened at that. He
said: ‘Count that as the first.
Then (will come) the conquest of
Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem); then a
disease which will appear among you
and cause you and your offspring
to die as martyrs and will purify
your deeds; then there will be
(much) wealth among you, so that if a
man were to be given one hundred
Dinar he would still be
dissatisfied; and there will be tribulation
among you that will not
leave any Muslim house untouched;* then there
will be a treaty
between you and the Romans, then they will betray you
and march
against you with eighty banners, under each of which will be
twelve
thousand (troops).’”
