Question

Is the below Hadith authentic?

«تخرج معادن مختلفة معدن منها قريب من الحجاز يأتيه من شرار الناس، يقال له فرعون، فبينما هم يعملون فيه إذ حسر عن الذهب فأعجبهم معتمله إذ خسف به وبهم»

 

Answer

Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration as the statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) and not as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). He has declared the narration authentic and ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) concurs.

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said: “Different mines will emerge. One will appear close to al-Hijaz. The evilest of people will go to it. While mining, they will suddenly find gold. They will be amazed. Suddenly, they will sink [into the ground].”

(Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 4, pg. 458. Also see: Kitabul Fitan of Nu’aym ibn Hammad: 1694, vol. 2, pg. 611)

The narration may be quoted as reported.

Disclaimer: In principle, the signs of Qiyamah are ambiguous and nuanced and only Allah Ta’ala Knows their precise timing and exact application. One should certainly take heed from such Hadiths and signs, despite their application to specific events being open to interpretation.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
