عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ سِتًّا: الدَّجَّالَ، وَالدُّخَانَ، وَدَابَّةَ الْأَرْضِ، وَطُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، وَأَمْرَ الْعَامَّةِ، وَخُوَيْصَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ»
24 - Some of the major signs of the Last Hour
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Hasten to do good deeds before six events: the Impostor, the smoke, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the general matter, and one’s private matter.
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī
Abu Hurayrah ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī embraced Islam in the year in which the Battle of Khaybar took place, i.e. Year 7 of the Hijri calendar. He was the Prophet’s companion who narrated the largest number of his hadiths, because he committed himself to remain close to the Prophet. He was keen to learn the Prophet’s hadiths and he remained for a long time in Madinah. He died in Year 58 AH, 678 CE.
