In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful War of the Euphrates By KL The halting of the Euphrates is one of the portents of the Mahdi. (Al-Muttaql al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 39) Note: The above hadeeth indicates that that the Euphrates incident occurs before the Mahdi, near the time of his emergence. Many respected books of hadith mention both of these events. Al-Suyuti mentions this hadith as 'the stopping of water.' Actually, the Keban Dam has stopped the flow of this river's water. Thus, that part of the the Euphrates incident has already come to pass.
Abu Hurayrah said, “The Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said, ‘The Hour will not come before the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold, for which people will fight. 99 out of 100 will die, but everyone among them will say that perhaps he will be the one who will survive.’”(Muslim.)
Narrated Ubayy ibn Ka'b:I heard Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: The Euphrates would soon uncover a mountain of gold and when the people would hear of it they would flock towards it but the people who would possess that (treasure) (would say): If we allow these persons to take out of it they would take away the whole of it. So they would fight and ninety-nine out of one hundred would be killed.(Muslim Book No: 40 No: 6922)
Note:
Actually, the Keban Dam has stopped the flow of this river's water.It
may also be referring to actual gold, submerged in the river itself,
and that when the river dries up, it would reveal it. Allah Knows Best
