کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

I am the most knowledgeable of people about every temptation that will occur until the Day of Resurrection, and what is wrong with me is that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, confided to me something that no one else told me about, but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, told a gathering I was in about temptations, some of which were minor and some of which were major, so all of those groups went away except me.

There will be temptations like pieces of the dark night, one after the other. They will come to you like the faces of cows, and you will not know which one is from what.

These are temptations that have spread like the foreheads of cows, in which most people will perish except those who knew about them before that

There is no one who commits a temptation that reaches the size of three hundred people, but if I wished, I would call him by his name, his father’s name, and his residence until the Day of Resurrection.

If I told you everything, I don't know if you would have watched me at night

I am not better guided by any of your paths than I am by every temptation that exists and by its crowing and its leader until the Day of Resurrection.

I swear

My friends were learning good and I was learning evil, for fear that I would fall into it

Yes, and there is smoke in it, people of our race, who speak in our tongues, whether you recognize or deny it, are preachers at the gates of Hell. Whoever obeys them, they will be thrust into it.

My nation will not perish until the differentiation, swaying, and nervous gestures that people after me bring about in Islam appear in Islam. The tribe leans against the tribe, and its sanctity becomes permissible unjustly as the lands move towards one another, so their necks differ in war like this. That is if the common people are corrupted and the private ones are reformed. Blessed is the man who Allah has set right his own.

There is nothing between you and evil being sent upon you beyond measure, except the death of Omar, (may Allah be pleased with him)

Narrated Shaqiq:I heard Hudhaifa saying, "While we were sitting with `Umar, he said, 'Who among you remembers the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ) about the afflictions?' Hudhaifa said, "The affliction of a man in his family, his property, his children and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, Zakat (and alms) and enjoining good and forbidding evil." `Umar said, "I do not ask you about these afflictions, but about those afflictions which will move like the waves of the sea." Hudhaifa said, "Don't worry about it, O chief of the believers, for there is a closed door between you and them." `Umar said, "Will that door be broken or opened?" I said, "No. it will be broken." `Umar said, "Then it will never be closed," I said, "Yes." We asked Hudhaifa, "Did `Umar know what that door meant?" He replied, "Yes, as I know that there will be night before tomorrow morning, that is because I narrated to him a true narration free from errors." We dared not ask Hudhaifa as to whom the door represented so we ordered Masruq to ask him what does the door stand for? He replied, "`Umar

It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“The Hour will not begin until you kill your ruler and fight one another with swords, and your world is inherited by the worst of you.”
