| Narrated `Auf bin Mali:
| |
|
| |
| I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said, "Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, '''the conquest of Jerusalem''', a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers.

| Some apologists like to claim that Muhammad predicted "The Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 1187 AD." <ref>https://www.islamweb.net/en/article/135817/the-signs-of-the-hour</ref>:

| But that was the second Muslim conquest. First Muslim conquest of Jerusalem was in 636:

| There is nothing in the hadith indicating that we should ignore the first one and count the second one. It rather seems that after the first conquest, the Hour is expected to come. But it didn't come, so this is another failed prophecy. And even after the second conquest, the Hour didn't come.

|
| |
| And the prophecy of the 7th century conquest was written by Bukhari two hundred years after the conquest.
