The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews: until the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: O Muslim, this is a Jew behind me; kill him
Chapter: Fighting against the Jews
Authentic
hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari
Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim)Sahih al-Bukhari 2926
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ "
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews: until the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: O Muslim, this is a Jew behind me; kill him."
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 2926), Muslim (No. 2922) and Ahmad (No. 9029, 10437).
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) reported that the Hour will not occur until the Muslims and the Jews fight each other - until when a Jew flees to hide behind a stone from the Muslims, Allah will make the stone speak and it will call out to the Muslim that there is a Jew behind it, so that he will go and kill him.
Lessons
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) reported about some future and unseen things, as revealed to him by Allah Almighty - and they will surely take place.
The Muslims and the Jews will fight each other at the end of time, and this is one of the portents of the Hour.
Islam will endure until the Day of Judgment and prevail over all other religions.
Allah Almighty supports the Muslims against their enemy, and part of this support is that He will make the stones speak at the end of time.
Explanation in Arabic
أخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن الساعة لن تقوم حتى يتقاتل المسلمون واليهود،
حتى إذا هرب اليهوديُّ وراء الحجر ليستتر به عن المسلمين؛ أنطق اللهُ الحجَرَ ونادى المسلمَ: بأنَّ يهوديًّا وراءه حتَّى يأتي لِقتله.
إخبار النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ببعض الغيب والمستقبل، حسبما أطلعه الله تعالى، وهو سيقع لا محالة.
محاربة المسلمين لليهود في آخر الزمان، وأن ذلك من علامات الساعة.
بقاء دين الإسلام إلى يوم القيامة، وظهوره على الدين كله.
نصر الله للمسلمين على عدوهم، ومن ذلك جعل الحجر ينطق في أخر الزمان.
