The answer

Muslim narrated in his from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, over which people will fight, and out of every hundred, ninety-nine will be killed." He also narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka'b the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "The Euphrates is about to uncover a mountain of gold. When people hear about it, they will march towards it... then they will fight over it, and out of every hundred, ninety-nine will be killed."

Al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The Euphrates is about to uncover a mountain of gold. Whoever is present there should not take anything from it."

Al-Nawawi explained the word "yahsir" as "it will be uncovered due to the receding of its water."
