English translation
4242. It was narrated that ‘Umayr bin Hānī’ Al-Ansī said: “I heard ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar saying: ‘We were sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he mentioned tribulations, and spoke at length about them, until he mentioned Fitnatal-Ahlās. Someone said: “O Messenger of Allāh, what is Fitnatal-Ahlās?” He said: “People will flee, then there will be war. Then will come Fitnatas-Sarrā, which will emerge, because of a man from among my family, who will claim that he is of me, but he will not be of me, for my friends are the people of Taqwā. Then the people will unite under a man like a hip bone over a rib (unstable). Then there will come Fitnatud-Duhaimā’ (a huge tribulation), which will not leave anyone of this Ummah without giving him a slap. When it is said that it is over, it will be extended, and a man will have arisen a believer in the morning, and come upon the evening as a disbeliever, until the people are split into two camps: the camp of Faith in which there will be no hypocrisy, and the camp of hypocrisy in which there will be no Faith. When that happens, then expect the Dajjāl on that day or the next.” (Sahih)
