You certainly know King Fahd passed away today, Innanillahi wa Innanillahi rajioun. I read somewhere that one of the sign of qiyamat (End of times) will be the death of a king whose name means an animal; knowing that 'fahd' means leopard in english. Could please tell me whether there is any authentic hadith confirming this event? Djazakallah for your answer.

Answer

We were unable to locate such a Hadith.
