Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions.
Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Abdullah ibn Sa'id al-Kindi narrated to us, 'Uqbah ibn Khalid narrated to us, 'Ubayd Allah narrated to us from Khubayb ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from his grandfather Hafs ibn 'Asim from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4313Sahih (Al-Albani) 'Uqbah said: And 'Ubayd Allah narrated to us, Abu al-Zinad narrated to us from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the same, except that he said: Sahih Muslim 2894d.
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This is also among the signs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), where the Prophet informed of this event that will occur. His saying "mountain" does not contradict his saying "treasure," because a treasure can be like a mountain. Some of the later scholars interpreted this hadith, saying that it refers to black gold, meaning petroleum, and they supported this by the proximity of petroleum sources to this location. However, there is some hesitation regarding this interpretation. Ibn Hajar spoke about it.
