کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Allah has raised this world for me, so I look at it and what will be in it until the Day of Resurrection as I look at these palms of my own: two generations from Allah that He revealed to His Prophet as He revealed to the prophets before him.

Nu'aym told us, on the authority of Ibn Wahb, on the authority of Maslama ibn Ali, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, on the authority of Ibn Umar, (may Allah be pleased with him) what he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “My nation is a merciful nation, and there will be no torment for it in the hereafter. Its torment in this world is earthquakes and afflictions. If on the Day of Resurrection Allah gives every man from my nation a man from the infidels from Gog and Magog, then it will be said: This is your redemption from the Fire.” A man said: O Messenger of Allah, where is the retaliation? So he remained silent.”
