Sahih al-Bukhari 3176 (Book 58, Hadith 18) #3035
Signs of the Hour

SUMMARY: This hadith talks about the signs of the Hour and mentions six of them, including death, plague, increase in wealth, an affliction that no Arab house will escape from and a truce between Muslims and Byzantines.

Narrated 'Auf bin Mali: 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 (ie the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ بُسْرَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، وَهْوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ، مَوْتِي، ثُمَّ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ مُوتَانٌ يَأْخُذُ فِيكُمْ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ، ثُمَّ اسْتِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلُّ سَاخِطًا، ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ لاَ يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلاَّ دَخَلَتْهُ، ثُمَّ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ، فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً، تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the signs that indicate the approach of the Hour. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ mentioned six signs which include his death, plague that will afflict people in great numbers as it does to sheep, increase in wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars he will not be satisfied with it, an affliction which no Arab house will escape from and a truce between Muslims and Byzantines who will betray them under eighty flags with twelve thousand soldiers under each flag. These are all indications for us to prepare ourselves for what is coming ahead. We should strive to do good deeds so we can be ready when these signs come true.
