Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
This statement is false and has no basis, and it is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet ﷺ or to believe that it is a hadith from him.
One indication of its falsehood is that it is not known in the recognized collections of the Sunnah and authoritative hadith books. Rather, it has been attributed to an unknown manuscript allegedly found in one of the libraries in Turkey, without providing a reliable scholarly source establishing the authenticity of this attribution.
It is well known that reports of great importance that are attributed to the Prophet ﷺ cannot be accepted merely because someone claims that they exist in an unknown manuscript. Rather, their chain of transmission and source must be established, the reliability of their narrators must be known, and the report must be compared with what has been authentically established in the books of the Sunnah.
So how can words be attributed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when they have no known basis in the hadith collections and were merely transmitted from an unknown source whose status is not known?!
Furthermore, the awkward wording and style of this statement are among the obvious indications that it is not the speech of the Prophet ﷺ. His speech, peace and blessings be upon him, reached the highest level of eloquence and clarity after the Speech of Allah تعالى, and this text does not resemble it, being full of confusion and awkward expressions.
A Muslim is therefore required to verify what he attributes to the Prophet ﷺ, especially when the matter concerns events of the end times. This is an area in which lies, fabrications, and the attribution of statements to the Prophet ﷺ without knowledge have become widespread.
The Prophet ﷺ warned against transmitting reports that one knows, or strongly suspects, to be false. He ﷺ said:
“Whoever narrates from me a hadith that is believed to be a lie is one of the liars.”
It was narrated by Muslim in the introduction to his Sahih.
Imam al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, explained the meaning of this hadith by stating that it contains a severe warning against lying and a prohibition against engaging in it. Whoever strongly suspects that what he narrates is false and nevertheless narrates it is included among those who lie, because he reports something that did not occur.
Accordingly, attributing this text to the Prophet ﷺ is a lie and fabrication, and it is not permissible to circulate it as a Prophetic hadith. Rather, people should be warned against it and informed that it has no basis.
A Muslim should also not be deceived by the fact that the text contains names of individuals or historical events that happen to correspond to some events that actually took place. The fact that some statements happen to correspond with reality does not in any way establish that the text is a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.
The basic principle concerning reports of the unseen and the signs of the Hour is that they must be based on what has been authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ through a sound chain of transmission, not on unknown texts, unverified manuscripts, or predictions that are attributed to the Sunnah after events have already occurred.
And Allah تعالى knows best.
