Mention Of Tribulations And Their Signs
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ أَرْبَعُ فِتَنٍ فِي آخِرِهَا الْفَنَاءُ " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: four (majestic) trials (fitnahs) will take place among this community, and in their end there will be destruction.
