In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
Narrations From The Prophet That Speak About The Unseen Future
In a narration related by 'Ilyaan ibn Ahmad Al-Bakree, Abu Zaid AI-Ansaaree (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) led us in the morning prayer, after which he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until Zhuhr. He descended, prayed 'Asr, and then climbed the pulpit again, speaking to us until the setting of the sun. He spoke to us about what was and what will be; he informed us (thereof) and made us memorize (that information)." (Ahmad)
The Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Gave News About Events From The Past And The Future, Covering The Span Of Time Until The Coming Of The Hour (i.e. The End Of This World)
'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "Once, the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) stood before us and informed us about the beginning of the creation (and he spoke of what will occur) until the inhabitants of Paradise enter their final abodes and the people of the Hellfire enter their final abodes. Some memorized (that information) while others have forgotten it." (Bukhaaree) Bukhaaree narrated this Hadeeth as an attachment and not as a part of his compilation, using phrases indicating that he was not sure about the chain. Hudhaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "The Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) once rose, standing before us. He mentioned everything that was to occur from the time he stood there until the time of the Hour. Some memorized it while others forgot it...and something will happen (from what the Prophet (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) mentioned) and I will recall it as a man recalls the face of another man who was absent for while; then when he sees that face again, he recognizes it."
Hudhaifah (radi allahu 'anhu) Witnessed Some Of The Events That The Messenger Of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) Prophesized About.
Abu Nusrah related that Abu Sa'eed (radi allahu 'anhu) said, "One day, after the Messenger of Allah (salalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) led us in the 'Asr prayer, he stood and addressed us until the sun set. He spoke of everything that was to occur until the Day of Resurrection; some memorized his words while others forgot them. Among the things he said was, 'O people, indeed this world is green (i.e., it has in it beauty, greenery, etc.) and sweet, and indeed Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) has made you to dwell herein for succeeding generations, and He ( is seeing how you act. So take your precaution from this world and take your precaution from women.' He later on said, 'The time is indeed near when the sun will set. What remains of this world when compared to what is past is like what remains of this day of yours compared to the part of it that is gone.' " (Ahmad) 'Alee ibn Zaid ibn Hadjaan, one of the narrators of this Hadeeth, has strange and Munkar narrations; nonetheless, this Hadeeth is supported by similar narrations. At any rate, no one knows exactly when this world will come to an end except for Allah (subhana wa ta'ala).
