THE SIXTH POINTED SIGN
According to a definite and authentic narration, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded Hazrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her):
1 "You are the first of my household to join me," meaning, "From my household, you will die before anyone else and will be united with me." Exactly as he had announced, this happened six months later.
He also commanded Abu Zer:
2 "You will be expelled from here, live alone, and die alone," meaning he would be exiled from Medina, live alone, and die alone in a desert. As he had foretold, this happened twenty years later.
While getting up from sleep in the house of Umm Haram, the aunt of Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet smiled and said:
3 "I saw my community fighting at sea, like kings on thrones."
Umm Haram prayed: "Pray to Allah so that I may be with them." The Prophet said: "You will be with them." Forty years later, she went to the conquest of Cyprus with her husband Ubayd ibn Samit and died there. Her tomb became a place of visitation, exactly as he had foretold.
Also, according to a definite and authentic narration, the Prophet said:
4 "A liar and a tyrant will emerge from the tribe of Thaqif."
Meaning, "One from the tribe of Thaqif will claim prophethood and another will appear as a cruel tyrant." He foretold the famous Mu'tar, who claimed prophethood, and Hajjaj the Tyrant, who killed a hundred thousand people.

THE ELEVENTH SIGN
Just as the Tenth Sign indicated the Prophetic miracle in the tribe of trees, the Eleventh Sign will also indicate the Prophetic miracle in the tribe of stones and mountains. Indeed, we shall mention seven or eight examples from these numerous examples:
FIRST EXAMPLE: The learned scholar of the Maghreb, the noble Judge Iyaz, in his book Shifa, with a high-level narration and authentic transmission from important imams such as the compiler of Bukhari, reports:
Hazrat Ibn Masud, the servant of the Prophetic, said: "We were eating food in the presence of the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we heard the food reciting praises of Allah."1
SECOND EXAMPLE: With authentic narration, from Anas and Abu Zarr, the authentic books report:
Hazrat Anas (the servant of the Prophetic) said: "We were in the presence of the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He took small stones in his hand and began to recite praises of Allah in his blessed hand. Then he placed them in the hand of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, and they recited praises again."2
Abu Zarr al-Gifari, in his narration, said: "Then he placed them in the hand of Hazrat Umar, and they recited praises again. Then he took them, placed them on the ground, and they fell silent. Then he took them again, placed them in the hand of Hazrat Osman, and they began to recite praises again. Then Hazrat Anas and Abu Zarr said: 'He placed them in our hands, and they fell silent.'"3
