The Miracles of the Nabi Pakﷺ – part 46

Nabi Pakﷺ prophecy about the appearance of Imâm in Madinah:

Imâm at-Tirmidhî narrated on the authority of Abû Hurairah who said: “The Messenger of Allâh said: “People are about to ride their camels, on long journeys seeking knowledge, but they do not come across anyone who is more knowledgeable than the Imâm of Madînah.”

Nabi Pakﷺ about the classes of his followers.

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of ‘Imrân bin Husain who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The best of my followers are those living in my generation (i.e. my contemporaries), and then those who will follow them, and then those who will follow the latter.” ‘Imrân added: “I do not remember whether he mentioned two or three generations after his generation, then the Prophet ﷺ added: “There will come after you, people who will bear witness without being asked to do so and will be treacherous and untrustworthy, and who will vow and never fulfill their vows, and fatness will appear among them (as they like to eat and drink too much).

In another narration by Imâm al-Bukhârî on the authority of ‘Abdullâh who said that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “The best people are those living in my generation, and then those who will follow them, and then those who will follow the latter. Then there will come some people who will bear witness before taking oaths, and take oaths before bearing witness.” (Ibrâhîm, a sub-narrator said: “They used to beat us for witnesses and promises when we were still children).

Nabi Pakﷺ telling about the fire, which came out in Hijâz:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Abû Hurairah, who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Hour will not be established till a fire will come out of the land of Hijâz and it will throw light on the necks of the camels at Busrâ. ” Imâm Abû Shâmah (the Historian) says that this fire appeared on Friday the 5th of Jumadâ Al-Akhirah in the year 654 (A.H.)¹ This fire appeared in Madînah and lasted for one month, exactly as the Prophet ﷺ described it, as the people saw the necks of the camels at Busrâ through the light of this fire. Other books mentioned that it lasted for more than a month, and appeared on the eastside of Mâdînah, towards the valley of Shadha, beside the mountain of Uhud. It was also said that the people heard noises five days before its appearance, on the Monday at the beginning of that month, and the noises continued day and night until it appeared on Friday, when a great fire gushed out of the land at the valley of Shadha, which caused the stones to melt, leaving what looks like molten lead, which then became like black coal.
