The Prophet predicted his grandson Al Hussain would be martyred at Taff, (later renamed Karbala). He took some dirt in his hand and said, "His grave is in it."

The Prophet said to Mount Hira, "Be firm, on you is a Prophet, a sincere man and a martyr." Ali, Omar, Othman, Talha and Az-Zubair were martyred and Sa'ad was attacked.

The Prophet forewarned, "The hour will not come until two parties fight against each other, and their claim is the same as each other."

There was a Jew in Medina by the name of Labid, Asim's son who was a sorcerer. Labid, Asim's son was approached by a fellow Jew from Khaybar who asked him to concoct a spell of deadly proportion against the Prophet . The Prophet , described the sorcery of Labid, Asim's son and what had been used. He told his Companions that he used a comb, and some strands of his hair, and the spathe of a male palm-tree, and that he had cast them into the well of Zharwan. The Companions went to the well and found them exactly as the Prophet had described.

The Prophet described Jerusalem in detail to the unbelievers when they disbelieved in his journey that took place during the Night Journey.

Each one of his prophecies, present and future, were to be fulfilled in the way he described. Amongst those yet to be fulfilled are the following, "The flourishing of Jerusalem will prove to be the ruination of Medina. The ruin of Medina will be brought about on account of fierce fighting. The emergence of fierce fighting will include the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul).

Prophet Muhammad spoke of the prevailing conditions of the Hour and also of the signs of its heralding. He spoke of the Resurrection and the Gathering, and informed what will happen to the good in Paradise and those who deviated in Hell, and the occurrences on the Day of Resurrection.

As we mentioned previously a volume of prophetic quotations could be compiled on these subjects, but this suffices. For those who wish to learn more, further transmissions are to be found in the major references of hadith.
