حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ، قَالَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ غُرْفَةٍ وَنَحْنُ نَتَذَاكَرُ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالَ " لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ الدَّجَّالُ وَالدُّخَانُ وَطُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا " .
Hudhaifah bin Asid Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) looked out at us from a room, when we were talking about the Hour. He said: 'The Hour will not begin until there are ten signs: Dajjal, (False Christ), the smoke, and the rising of the sun from the west.'

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 4041
This Hadith about the signs of the Hour shows a short but strong warning from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The companions were talking about the Hour, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told them that it would not begin until ten signs appear. In this narration, three signs are named: Dajjal, the smoke, and the rising of the sun from the west. The core topic is End Times. The Hadith does not give dates or ask people to guess when these signs will happen. It simply teaches awareness. For anyone searching for signs of Qiyamah or major signs of the Day of Judgment, this Hadith reminds us that the Hour is real and known by Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hour has signs that will appear before it begins.
- Dajjal, smoke, and the sun rising from the west are named among these signs.
- The Hadith teaches awareness without giving a date for the Hour.
- Talking about the Hour should lead to seriousness and reflection.
