شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace and blessings be upon him.

لَوْ أَنَّ الدُّنْيَا انْتَهَتْ لَقُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُرَادُ بِالذَّهَبِ هُوَ هَذَا الْبِتْرُولُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يُبَاعُ بِالذَّهَبِ، لَكِنْ مَا دَامَتِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ تَنْتَهِ فَنَحْنُ نَنْتَظِرُ مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ، وَلَا بُدَّ أَنْ يَقَعَ وَيَقْتَتِلَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ، وَهَذَا مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ لَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ، وَاللَّهُ الْمُوَفِّقُ. ١٨٢٣ -

Had the world ended, we would have said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke the truth and that the gold mentioned is this petroleum, as it is sold for gold. Since the world has not yet ended, we await what the truthful and believed one foretold. It must come to pass, and people will fight over it. This is one of the signs of the Hour, though it has not yet arrived. Allah is the Grantor of success.

وَعَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «يَتْرُكُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى خَيْرِ مَا كَانَتْ لَا يَغْشَاهَا إِلَّا الْعَوَافِي يُرِيدُ عَوَافِيَ السِّبَاعِ وَالطَّيْرِ وَآخِرُ مَنْ يُحْشَرُ رَاعِيَانِ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ يُرِيدَانِ الْمَدِينَةَ يَنْعِقَانِ بِغَنَمِهِمَا فَيَجِدَانِهَا وُحُوشًا، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَا ثَنِيَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ خَرَّا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمَا مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. ١٨٢٤ -

1823 - On his authority, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'They will leave Medina in its finest state, with none visiting it but scavengers,' meaning predatory beasts and birds. 'The last to be gathered will be two shepherds from the Muzaynah tribe who head toward Medina, calling out to their sheep, only to find the city deserted. When they reach Thaniyat al-Wada', they will fall on their faces.' Agreed upon.
