What is the explanation of the Hadith: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, the Hour will not be established until wild beasts speak to humans, and until a man's whip and the straps of his sandal speak to him, and his thigh informs him of what his family did after he left"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith mentioned by the questioner is an authentic hadith, narrated by Tirmidhi, Al-Hakim, Ibn Hibban, and Ibn Abi Shaybah.

In it, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, swore that the Hour would not be established until these three matters occur:

1. That wild beasts speak to people. 2. That the tip of a whip speaks to its owner. 3. That a man's thigh speaks to him, informing him of what his family did in his absence.

These matters are extraordinary occurrences, and Allah is capable of making them speak.
