کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Muhammad ibn al-Harith al-Bahrani told us, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Bilmani, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Umar, (may Allah be pleased with them) both, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The Hour will not come until a man passes by the grave and says: I wish I were in his companion’s place when the people face the trials.”

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Yunus, he said: Abu Hamid, a servant of Musafa’, told me: I heard Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: “A day will come upon you when one of you walks to his brother’s grave and says: I wish I were in his place.”

Ibn Mahdi and Waki` told us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of Salamah ibn Kuhail, on the authority of Abu al-Za`ra, on the authority of Abdullah, who said: “A time will come upon the people when a man comes to a grave and lies on it and says: I wish I were in the place of his companion, not for love of meeting Allah, but for the severity of the calamity he sees.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established till a man passes by a grave of somebody and says, 'Would that I were in his place

There will come a time for people when death is more beloved to one of them than washing with cold water on a hot day, and then he does not die

A time will come upon the people when a man comes to the grave and wallows over it as an animal wallows, wishing to be there in the place of its companion, not out of love for meeting Allah, meaning because of the calamity he sees.

Ibn Mahdi told us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of Al-A’mash, on the authority of Ibrahim, on the authority of Abdullah, and the like

The Hour will not come until a man comes to the grave and wallows over it like an animal wallows, wishing to be in the place of its owner

You are called to an enemy on one side, while you are like that when you are called to another enemy, and you do not know to which enemy you will flee, and on that day that will happen.

Baqiyya and Abd al-Quddus told us, on the authority of Safwan bin Amr, on the authority of Amr bin Salim al-Hadrami, on the authority of Abu Athbah al-Hadrami, who said: “If you live a short lifespan, then a man will soon come to the grave of his intimate friend and look at you, saying: I wish I were in your place. I had been saved. I had been saved.” So he mentioned something similar to the first hadith.

The sea is about to become difficult, so that no female slave will flow through it, and the land will become difficult, so that no one will be able to take refuge in a house

A time will come upon people when a person will wish that he and his family are in a laden orbit, tossing them around in the sea due to the severity of the calamities on earth.

There will come a time when a man with honor, money, and children will wish for death because of the misfortune he sees from his rulers

You will not see anything from this world except affliction and temptation, and the matter will only increase in severity, and you will not see from the Imams anything but harshness, and you will not see a matter that terrifies you except that its contempt after it will be even greater than it.

Death is almost more beloved to scholars than red gold

We were talking that the first thing that lifts people's minds is familiarity

If a man does not trust his companion

A time would come upon the people in which the eye of the wise would not meet

If you see blood being shed unjustly, and money being given on the basis of lies, and doubt and curses appearing, and apostasy taking place, then whoever is able to die, let him die.

A time is about to come for people when death will be more beloved to the world than red gold

Sedition has pauses and resurrections, so whoever is able to die during its pauses should do so

Its stances are when the sword is sheathed, and its resurrections are when the sword is unsheathed

Sedition has its stops and resurrections, so whoever of you is able to die during its stops should do so

The death of my son and my family is easier for me than this

As if you envy me with them? By the One in whose hand is my soul, for me to have cleaned my hands from the dust of their graves is more beloved to me than for the nest of this ferret to collapse and its eggs to be broken.
