Is there a prophetic Hadith that mentions the destruction of Basra, then the destruction of Egypt, at the End of Time?
No has been found indicating that Basra will be ruined first, then Egypt. However, a hadith was narrated by Anas ibn Malik, reported by Abu Dawud and others, which contains a warning to Anas about Basra, stating that it will experience subsidence (khasf), pelting (qadhf), and shaking (rajf), and that some people will be transformed into apes and pigs. Ibn al-Jawzi considered this hadith to be fabricated (mawdu'), and al-'Ala'i and al-Suyuti refuted him.
An account (athar) was also reported from Ka'b al-Ahbar stating that the first cities to be ruined are Basra and Egypt, but it is weak, has a broken chain of narration (munqati' al-sanad), and is suspended (mawquf) to Ka'b.
