Overview
Ibn al-Imad, under the events of 652 AH, reports that a fire appeared in the land of Aden, on one of its mountains. At night its sparks flew out to the sea, and by day a great smoke rose from it. 1
He also reports that people had no doubt it was the fire the Prophet ﷺ mentioned as appearing at the end of time, and so they repented. 1
The date rests on a single report; its conversion to CE is derived. An additional source is needed.
