Question:
Asalam Alaikum Ya Shaykhs!
I have heard that there is a hadees that before the arrival of Syedina Mahdi (AS), a comet would appear from the East. Is this true and can you please point to the hadees this is in? I ask because there is a comet called Elenin that is due to pass Earth very closely around October 16th of this year and is predicted to cause earthquakes and solar flares.
Jazak Allah Khairun
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
There is no such hadith to our knowledge. As for Elenin see http://www.2012hoax.org/elenin
