Once, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the top of one of the forts of Madīnah looking down and said: Do you see what I see? Verily, I see the trials that occur in the midst of your houses as plenty as the raindrops that fall (during heavy rain)
Chapter: “Woe to the Arabs from the great evil that is nearly, approaching them.”
Authentic
hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari
Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim)Sahih al-Bukhari 7060
Usāmah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Once, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the top of one of Madīnah's forts looking down and said: "Do you see what I see? Verily, I see the trials that occur in the midst of your houses as plenty as the raindrops that fall (during heavy rain)."
Reported by Al-Bukhari (No. 7060, 1878, 2467, 3597), Muslim (No. 2885a, 2885b) and Ahmad (No. 20753, 20809).
The Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) looked out from a high fort from the forts of Madīnah and said to his Companions: Do you see what I see? I see the trials and tribulations that occur in the midst of your houses as plenty and heavy as the raindrops. This is an indication to the wars and trials that were to occur in Madīnah after the Prophet’s death, such as the killing of ‘Uthmān, the battle of Al-Harrah, etc.
Explanation in Arabic
نظر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من مكانٍ عالٍ فوق حصن من حصون المدينة فقال لأصحابه: هل ترون ما أرى؟ إني أرى الفتن تقع وسط بيوتكم كما يقع المطر بكثرة وغزارة. وهو إشارة إلى الحروب والفتن الواقعة في المدينة، كمقتل عثمان، ووقعة الحرة وغيرها.
فيه إشارة إلى الحروب الجارية بينهم، كقتل عثمان -رضي الله عنه- ويوم الحرة.
وفيه معجزة ظاهرة للنبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إذ أخبر بشيء فوقع كما أخبر.
هذا الحديث مما أنذر النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- به أمته، وعرفهم قرب الساعة لكي يتوبوا قبل أن يأتي عليهم وقت غلق باب التوبة.
