Fatima, first of his family to follow him
Sahih al-Bukhari 3623-3624; Sahih Muslim 2450Sahih (al-Bukhari, Muslim)
“He informed me secretly of his death and so I wept. He then again informed me secretly that I would be the first amongst the members of his family to follow him and so I laughed.”Sahih Muslim 2450, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
The Prophet Muhammad died in 632. His daughter Fatima, then a young woman, died a few months later, before any other member of his household.
The Muslim case
Yaqeen Institute cites al-Nawawi that the report holds two predictions: that this illness was his last, and that Fatima would be the first of his family to die after him.
Scope
The prediction was spoken privately and disclosed by Fatima after his death, as Aisha narrates.
Umar and Uthman, 'two martyrs'
Sahih al-Bukhari 3675Sahih (al-Bukhari)
“The Prophet once climbed the mountain of Uhud with Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman. The mountain shook with them. The Prophet said (to the mountain), "Be firm, O Uhud! For on you there are no more than a Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs."”Sahih al-Bukhari 3675, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
Abu Bakr died of illness in 634. Umar was stabbed in Medina in 644, and Uthman was killed in his house in Medina in 656. Both were caliphs at the time.
The Muslim case
Yaqeen Institute pairs this with a report that Uthman was given glad tidings of Paradise 'due to a calamity that befalls him' (Sahih al-Bukhari 3693).
Scope
The report names the two only by role; the identification follows from who was present.
Ammar and 'the rebel group'
Sahih Muslim 2916; Sahih al-Bukhari 447Sahih (Muslim, al-Bukhari)
“Allah's Messenger said to 'Ammar: A group of rebels would kill you.”Sahih Muslim 2916, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
Ammar ibn Yasir, an early convert, fought on the side of the caliph Ali at the Battle of Siffin in 657 and was killed there by the army of Syria.
The Muslim case
Yaqeen Institute notes that the Syrian side did not deny the report but argued over its meaning, which Muslim scholars take as a sign of how widely known it was. Islamic Evidence makes the same point about the stir his death caused.
Scope
Sunni scholarship holds that the companions on the other side erred in judgment; the report is about who killed Ammar, not a ruling on every individual.
Hasan and the two groups
Sahih al-Bukhari 3629 (also 2704)Sahih (al-Bukhari)
“This son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. chief) and I hope that Allah will help him bring about reconciliation between two Muslim groups.”Sahih al-Bukhari 3629, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
After Ali's death in 661, his son al-Hasan stood at the head of a large army facing Muawiya, then made peace and gave up the caliphate, ending the first civil war.
The Muslim case
Yaqeen Institute and InfoIslam present this as fulfilled to the letter: a named grandson, a reconciliation, and two Muslim groups. Al-Bukhari's own narration 2704 describes the armies and the negotiations.
Scope
The wording carries 'I hope' (la'alla); Muslim scholars read it as a confident expectation.
Umm Haram and the first sea army
Sahih al-Bukhari 2924; 2788-2789Sahih (al-Bukhari)
“Paradise is granted to the first batch of my followers who will undertake a naval expedition. ... I said, 'O Allah's Messenger! Will I be amongst them?' He replied, 'You are amongst them.' The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst my followers who will invade Caesar's City will be forgiven their sins.' I asked, 'Will I be one of them?' He replied in the negative.”Sahih al-Bukhari 2924, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
Under Muawiya, then governor of Syria, the first Muslim fleet sailed to Cyprus (about 649). Umm Haram took part, fell from her mount and died there; her tomb at the Hala Sultan Tekke near Larnaca is still visited. She did not live to see the later campaigns against Constantinople.
The Muslim case
Ibn Hajar, quoted by Yaqeen Institute, counts several predictions in one: that there would be a Muslim navy, that Umm Haram would live to sail with it, and that she would not be in the second campaign.
Scope
The identification of the Cyprus tomb rests on Muslim tradition reported by al-Tabarani and others.
Mu'tah: three commanders, then 'a Sword of Allah'
Sahih al-Bukhari 4262 (also 1246)Sahih (al-Bukhari)
“Zaid took the flag (as the commander of the army) and was martyred, then Ja'far took it and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took it and was martyred. ... Then the flag was taken by a Sword amongst the Swords of Allah (i.e. Khalid) and Allah made them (i.e. the Muslims) victorious.”Sahih al-Bukhari 4262, English translation as given on sunnah.com
What happened
At Mu'tah, east of the Jordan, in 629 the three appointed commanders were killed in turn and Khalid ibn al-Walid took command and withdrew the army.
The Muslim case
Anas states the Prophet announced this in Medina 'before the news of their death reached'. Yaqeen and InfoIslam cite it as knowledge of a distant event as it happened.
Scope
This is knowledge of a simultaneous distant event rather than a long-range prediction.
