عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: حَفِظْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ: رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ المَغْرِبِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ العِشَاءِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، وَكَانَتْ سَاعَةً لاَ يُدْخَلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا، حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَذَّنَ المُؤَذِّنُ وَطَلَعَ الفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَفِي لَفْظٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ.
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: I memorized from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ten Rak‘ahs (units of prayer): two Rak‘ahs before Zhuhr and two Rak‘ahs after it, two Rak‘ahs after Maghrib at his home, two Rak‘ahs after ‘Ishā’ at his home, and two Rak‘ahs before the Fajr prayer, an hour when none was allowed to enter upon the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Hafsah told me that after the muezzin would make Adhān (call to prayer) and after the break of dawn, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer two Rak‘ahs. Another wording reads: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer two Rak‘ahs after the Friday prayer.

عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْها أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَزِعًا يَقُولُ: «لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فُتِحَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ» وَحَلَّقَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الإِبْهَامِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا، قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الخَبَثُ».
Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came to her in an alarmed state, saying: "There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil. Today, an opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog, like this," making a circle with his thumb and index fingers. Zaynab bint Jahsh said: So, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we perish while there are pious people among us?" He said: "Yes, when wickedness becomes rampant."
Agreed uponGradeAuthentic
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the place of Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) terrified and afraid, while he was saying: There is no god but Allah, indicating the expectation of something unpleasant happening, and that there is no escape from it except by seeking refuge in Allah Almighty. Then, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Woe to the Arabs from an evil that is about to happen. Today, a hole has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog, which was built by Dhu al-Qarnayn, like this, as he made a circle with his thumb and the one next to it. Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: How can Allah send destruction upon us when there are righteous believers among us? The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) responded to her, saying: If evil, such as immorality, debauchery, sins, adultery, alcohol, and other things, becomes widespread, destruction will befall everyone.
Benefits
- Panic should not distract a believer's heart from remembering Allah in times of fear, for hearts find tranquility in the remembrance of Allah.
- Muslims are exhorted to disapprove of sins and prevent their commission.
- General destruction may occur due to the abundance and prevalence of sins, and the failure to denounce them, even if there are a lot of righteous people.
- Misfortunes befall all people, pious and corrupt, but everyone will be resurrected according to their intentions.
- He singled out the Arabs in his statement "Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil" because they were the majority of Muslims at the time.
