Hadith 376

(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ – It is reported by Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari who said, ‘I performed Hajj with Rasool-Allah-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, the farewell Hajj. When the Prophet-saww had fulfilled what had been Obligated upon him-saww from the Hajj, he-saww came to bid farewell to the Kabah. He-saww adhered with the ring of the door and called out at the top of his-saww voice: ‘O you people! ’ The people of the Masjid and people of the market gathered. He-saww said: ‘Listen! I-saww am saying what would be happening after me-saww, so let the attender deliver to the absentee! ’ Then Rasool-Allah-saww cried until the people cried to his-saww crying.

He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra!

When you come with these characteristics, anticipate the red wind, or morphing, or pelting with the stones, and the ratification of that is in the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Say: ‘He is Able upon Sending Punishment upon you from above you, or from beneath your feet, or confusing you with something and Making some of you taste the evil of the others’. Look how We Explain the Signs perhaps they would understand [6: 65]’. A group from the companions stood up to him-saww and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Inform us, when will that be happening? ’
He-saww said: ‘During delaying of the (recitation o
