Short answer

This section brings together 27 hadiths announcing the portents of the Hour: the appearance of the False Messiah kept away from Madinah by the Angels, the mountain of gold of the Euphrates, the army swallowed up as it marches on the Ka'bah, the announced great victories, the passing away of the righteous, and the time when the killer will not know why he kills. A striking sign is reported: "The Hour will not occur until the Euphrates recedes uncovering a mountain of gold over which people will fight". The hadith of the two fingers underlines the nearness of the Hour.
