SWALLOWING & METAMORPHOSIS OF THIS UMMAH

Sayyiduna Abu Aamir رضي الله عنه or Sayyiduna Abu Maalik Ash'ary رضي الله عنه narrated that he heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم say, "Surely, there will arise among my ummah, some people who will regard as lawful his (illegal sexual intercourse) or Khazz (- a particular kind of silk), Silk, wine and stringed instruments. Some of them will reside beside a (high) mountain (which means that they will build their homes at elevated places to be distinguished). Their pasturing animals will come to them in the evening. But, when anyone comes to them with his need (say, asking for some milk, etc), they will (send him away and) direct him to come back on the morrow. However, Allah will send to them His punishment during the night, throwing down the mountain on some of them (to crush them underneath it), metamorphosing some others into apes and wines (and they will retain that form) till the day of resurrection." (Or, this punishment will be awarded to the evil-doers till the day of resurrection.)
