And what people condemned of Uthman was that a group of the prophet's companions came together and wrote a book mentioning in it what Uthman has not followed of the sunnah of the prophet and his companions and of what he did when he gave 1/5th of Africa to Marwan and in it is the share of Allah and his prophet and that of relatives, orphans and poor people. And of his excesses in building ( تطاوله في البنيان ) that reached 7 houses in Medina.}} | |||

When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) kept quiet for a while. Then looked at a young boy in his presence belonging to the tribe of Azd Shanu'a and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come ''to you''. Anas said that this young boy was of our age during those days. | When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) kept quiet for a while.

There are two versions of this hadith. In this version, the "to you" was added by the translators to indicate that it is the last hour (death) of the people who asked. However this qualification is entirely absent in the Arabic text. This version of the hadith reported by Anas just says "until the hour comes" (حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ) (see also {{Bukhari|8|73|188}} quoted below where Anas seems to be a witness, {{Muslim|41|7051}}, and {{Muslim|41|7053}}). Another version of the hadith is reported by Aisha and instead has the phrase "until your hour comes to you" (حَتَّى تَقُومَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَاعَتُكُمْ) {{Bukhari|8|76|518}} and {{Muslim|41|7050}}. | |||

No | No mountain of gold was found uncovered by the Euphrates soon thereafter, let alone an exceptionally deadly conflict over the ownership of such gold. There is a gold mine more than a kilometer from the Euphrates which is claimed to fulfil the prophecy (the Copler mine in Erzincan province, Turkey). This was neither uncovered by the Euphrates, nor is it a mountain, nor has there been a deadly scramble to possess it. | ||
The hadith prophecy is simply one adapted from the well known Biblical apocalypse, [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2016&version=NIV Revelation 16:12], "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East." In Revelation, this occurs in the context of a series of bowls of wrath poured out in highly symbolic language. The meaning is very obviously not literal. | |||
