In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful Battles in Mina By KL
“People pay pilgrimage without an imam leading them. Big wars break out when they come
down to Mina and they are entwined just the way dogs entwine and tribes will attack on
each other. It is to such an extent that legs are buried in lakes of blood." Note: This can be compared to the killing of 30 people during the clashes between Saudi soldiers and attacking militants during the raid, which happened just inside Beyt-ül Muazzama (Ka’bah) on 1 Muharram (First Month of the Islamic Calendar) 1400.
"There
come the cries of war in Shawwaal with the outbreak of a war and massacre and carnage in
Zilhijjah and again the plundering of pilgrims in Zilhijah and streets are even not
possible to cross because of blood shed and religious prohibitions are violated. Big
sins are committed near Beyt-ül Muazzam (Ka’bah)." Note: This can be compared to the incidents occurring in the month of Zilhijjah (12th month of the Islamic Calendar) in 1407 (Pilgrimage Season), which actually took place near the Ka’bah.
Seven years later, an even bloodier incident happened during the pilgrimage. In this incident, 402 demonstrating pilgrims were killed, and vast amounts of blood was shed. Both the Saudi soldiers and the Iranian pilgrims committed great sins, for they killed one another. These bloody incidents have great parallels to the environment described in the hadith.There comes the cries of war in (the month of) Shawwal with the outbreak of war, massacre, and carnage in (the month of) Dhu'l-Hijja. The pilgrims are plundered in this month, the streets cannot be crossed because of the blood shed, and religious prohibitions are violated. Big sins are committed near the Magnificient House (the Ka`ba). (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 37)
This hadith draws attention to the incidents that will occur near the Ka`ba. The incidents during 1407 actually took place near the Ka`ba, and not inside it, unlike the event of 1400. Both incidents happened just the hadiths indicated that they would. Allah Knows Best
