Sahih Muslim 2894a (Book 54, Hadith 38) #14331
The Last Hour and the Mountain of Gold

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Last Hour and how people will fight for a mountain of gold that will be uncovered by the Euphrates river.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The Last Hour would not come before the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people would fight. Ninety-nine out of each one hundred would die but every man amongst them would say that perhaps he would be the one who would be saved (and thus possess this gold).
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ - عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَحْسِرَ الْفُرَاتُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ يَقْتَتِلُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقْتَلُ مِنْ كُلِّ مِائَةٍ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَيَقُولُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِّي أَكُونُ أَنَا الَّذِي أَنْجُو

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the events that will take place before the end of time. It is said that before this time comes, a mountain made out of gold will be uncovered by the Euphrates river. People would then fight over it, with only one in every hundred surviving. Despite this, everyone would still think they could be among those who survive and get to keep some of this gold. This hadith teaches us to not put our trust in material possessions as they can lead us astray from our faith and cause us to forget what truly matters in life - our relationship with Allah SWT. We should also remember that no matter how much we strive for something, it may not always turn out as we expect or hope for it to be.
