How sound are the Hadiths mentioned in Ibn Hammad's book "Al-Fitan" regarding the epic battles (malāḥim) and tribulations (fitan) at the End of Times, and what are the minor and major signs of the Hour, and what is the view of Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali in his book "Ashrāṭ Al-Sā'ah" concerning these events?
"The prophetic narrations (ahadith) concerning tribulations (fitan), epic battles (malahim), and the minor and major signs of the Hour are numerous, and have been mentioned in previous fatwas. Imam Al-Dhahabi criticized some of the narrations of Nu'aim ibn Hammad, especially those he presented in his book 'Kitab al-Fitan', describing them as 'wonders' and 'denounced narrations'. We were unable to access the book attributed to Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali. We recommend consulting books such as: 'Ashrat al-Sa'ah' by Sheikh Yusuf Al-Wabil, 'Ithaf al-Jama'ah bima ja'a fi al-Fitan wal-Malahim wa Ashrat al-Sa'ah' by Sheikh Hammoud Al-Tuwaijri, 'Al-Mahdi wa Fiqh Ashrat al-Sa'ah' by Sheikh Muhammad bin Ismail, and 'Al-Nihayah fi al-Fitan wal-Malahim' by Ibn Kathir."
