The Fire

The last major sign to appear before the Day of Resurrection is the Fire which will originate from the Yemen and drive people to gather in the place of their final assembly before the Day of Resurrection occurs.

‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ‏ ‏وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ‏ ‏وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَكِّيُّ ‏ ‏وَاللَّفْظُ ‏ ‏لِزُهَيْرٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏إِسْحَقُ ‏ ‏أَخْبَرَنَا ‏ ‏و قَالَ ‏ ‏الْآخَرَانِ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏
‏اطَّلَعَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ فَقَالَ مَا ‏ ‏تَذَاكَرُونَ قَالُوا نَذْكُرُ السَّاعَةَ قَالَ إِنَّهَا ‏ ‏لَنْ تَقُومَ حَتَّى تَرَوْنَ قَبْلَهَا عَشْرَ ‏ ‏آيَاتٍ ‏ ‏فَذَكَرَ الدُّخَانَ ‏ ‏وَالدَّجَّالَ ‏ ‏وَالدَّابَّةَ وَطُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا وَنُزُولَ ‏ ‏عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَيَأَجُوجَ ‏ ‏وَمَأْجُوجَ ‏ ‏وَثَلَاثَةَ خُسُوفٍ خَسْفٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَخَسْفٌ بِالْمَغْرِبِ وَخَسْفٌ بِجَزِيرَةِ ‏ ‏الْعَرَبِ ‏ ‏وَآخِرُ ذَلِكَ نَارٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ‏ ‏الْيَمَنِ ‏ ‏تَطْرُدُ النَّاسَ إِلَى مَحْشَرِهِمْ

Huzaifa bin Usaid Al-Ghifari reported: Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came to us all of a sudden as we were talking. He said: "What are you discussing?" We said: "We are talking about the Hour (of Resurrection)." Thereupon, he صلى الله عليه وسلم  said: "It will not come until you see ten signs before it, He made a mention of the Smoke, the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), the Daabba, the Rising of the Sun from the West, the Descent of Jesus Son of Mary عليه السلام (from Heaven), the emergence of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog & MaGog), and Khusuf (Landslides) will occur in three places: one in the East, one in the West and one in Arabian Peninsula. At the end, a Fire would burn forth from Yemen (or from Aden according to Ahmad), which would drive people to the place of their final gathering place."  (Sahih Muslim, Ahmad)

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet  صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"The people will be gathered in three methods:
1.The first batch will be of those who wish or have a hope (for paradise) and have a fear (of punishment).
2.The second batch will be those who will come to gather, riding:  two on a camel, three on a camel, or  ten on a camel.
3.The third batch will be the rest of the people who will be urged to gather by the Fire which will accompany them at the time of their afternoon nap and stay with them where they will spend the night, and will be with them in the morning wherever they may be then, and will be with them in the afternoon wherever they may be then."   (Bukhari)
