Chapter 6 Sixth Sign: More traditions about future events

Sixth Sign: More traditions about future events

The Messenger told his daughter, Saiyidutuna Fatimah: "You will be the first family member to join me (after my death)."

When she died 6 months later, hiswords proved true. He also said to Abu Dharr: "You will be expelled from here (Madina), will live alone and die alone."

What he saidhappened years later. Once he woke up in Umm Haram's house (Anas ibn Malik's aunt) andsaid with a smile: "I dreamed that my community was fighting like kings sitting on thrones." Umm Haram asked: "Pray that I may bewith them." He replied firmly: "You shall be. Forty years later, she accompanied her husband, Ubada ibn Samit, during the conquest of Cyprus. She died there, and her tomb remains a visited place."The Thaqif tribe will produce a liar who claims Prophethood, as well as a bloodthirsty tyrant."

In other words, the notorious Mukhtar (who claimed  Prophethood) and the criminal Hajjaj (who killed 100,000people)

"Constantinople (Istanbul) will be conquered (by my community)"

How blessed is the commander who conquers it, and how blessed hisarmy."

Constantinople fell to Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, whothereby attained a high spiritual rank, in 1453."If religion were hung on the Pleiades, descendants of the Persianswould reach it and get hold of it," indicating Persia's matchless scholars and saints.

"A scholar from the Quraysh will fill the parts of Earth with knowledge."

This refers to Imam Shafi'i, who founded one of Islam's fourlegal schools."My community will be divided into sects, and only one of them will be saved." When asked who they were, he replied: "Those who followme and my Companions," by which he meant the people of the Sunnaand Community (Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'a).

"The Qadariya are the Magians of this community."

thereby predicting the Qadariya sect, which would split into several branches and reject Destiny. He predicted several groups that would split into many factions, whenhe told 'Ali: "On account of you, as with Jesus, two groups will perish: One because of excessive love (for you), and the other because of excessive enmity (for you)."

Christians, due to their excessive love for Jesus, transgressed the limits and regarded him as God's "son," while Jewswent so far in their enmity as to deny his Prophethood and perfections. This refers to the Rafidites, the Kharijites, and the Nasiba, extremistpartisans of the Umayyads, respectively.
