Explanation of the Book of Fitnahs and Rulings-04a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, Shu'ayb narrated to us from al-Zuhri, who said: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib narrated to me that Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Last Hour would not come until fire emits from the earth of Hijaz which would illuminate the necks of the camels of the Busra. لا تقوم الساعة حتى تخرج نار من أرض الحجاز تضيء أعناق الإبل ببصرى
Sahih Muslim 2902
.
'Abdullah ibn Sa'id al-Kindi narrated to us, 'Uqbah ibn Khalid narrated to us, 'Ubaydullah 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:
The Euphrates is soon to uncover a treasure of gold, but those who are present must not take any of it. يوشك الفرات أن يحسر عن كنز من ذهب فمن حضره فلا يأخذ منه شيئًا
Sunan Abi Dawud 4313Sahih (Al-Albani)
'Uqbah said, and 'Ubaydullah 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:
uncover a mountain of gold يحسر عن جبل من ذهب
Sahih Muslim 2894d
.

The Shaykh : There is no contradiction between the first and second wording, because a treasure of gold can be such that this mountain was hidden and then became apparent afterwards. As for the first hadith:
The Last Hour would not come until fire emits from the earth of Hijaz which would illuminate the necks of the camels of the Busra. لا تقوم الساعة حتى تخرج نار من أرض الحجاز تضيء أعناق الإبل ببصرى
Sahih Muslim 2902
This occurred in the year 54 of the Hijrah. This fire occurred and became one of the terrifying signs of Allah. At first, they heard the earth bursting like thunderbolts, and the people of Madinah were afraid and panicked. They gathered in the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then this fire began to spread over the ground, moving like the necks of camels when they walk quickly, consuming stones and trees and everything else, until it burned the stones as they are now visible. It rose into the sky to a great height, and they heard the earth bursting as if it were thunderbolts. There was severe and great fear, and it remained, if I am not mistaken, for about fifteen days or more, and the people were in great anxiety because it was moving, until Allah the Mighty and Majestic concealed it. However, it is established that they saw the necks of the camels at Basra in al-Sham by its light. This indicates that it was very high and very strong. For this reason, the stones you see in al-Harrat are among its effects: dry stones with nothing in them but hard rock, cracked, glory be to Allah, and sharp. They say that if a person went into this al-Harrat, he would perish and not return, because if he was barefoot, his feet would be cut, and if he was wearing shoes, the shoes would be cut and then the feet after that, because it is far away and has edges like knives. We ask Allah for safety. Perhaps the author elaborated on it, Ibn Hajar. People flee from it... it moves quickly, walking a creeping walk.
