Question

Please verify this Hadith:

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“In the end times, a man would claim to be from his family, but they are not from him. He (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said those from him are conscious of Allah.”

 

Answer

This narration is part of a longer Hadith found in Sunan Abi Dawud and other Hadith collections.

The part in question is as follows:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Thereafter, the fitnah of Sarra will occur. Its smoke will emanate from the feet of a man from my household [i.e., this fitnah will be stirred up by a man]. He will claim to be from my progeny, whereas, he is not from me. Only those with Taqwa are close to me.”

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 4239)

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.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

سنن أبي داود:
(٤٢٣٩)  حدثنا يحيى بن عثمان بن سعيد الحمصي، حدثنا أبو المغيرة، حدثني عبد الله بن سالم، حدثني العلاء بن عتبة، عن عمير بن هانئ العنسي، سمعت عبد الله بن عمر يقول: كنا قعودا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر الفتن، فأكثر في ذكرها حتى ذكر فتنة الأحلاس، فقال قائل: يا رسول الله وما فتنة الأحلاس؟.
قال: «هي هرب وحرب، ثم فتنة السراء دخنها من تحت قدمي رجل من أهل بيتي، يزعم أنه مني وليس مني، إنما أوليائي المتقون، ثم يصطلح الناس على رجل كورك على ضلع، ثم فتنة الدهيماء: لا تدع أحدا من هذه الأمة إلا لطمته، فإذا قيل انقضت تمادت، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، حتى يصير الناس إلى فسطاطين: فسطاط إيمان لا نفاق فيه، وفسطاط نفاق لا إيمان فيه، فإذا كان ذاكم فانتظروا الدجال من يومه أو [من] غده».
