حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيِّ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ زَوَى لِي الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا، وَإِنَّ مُلْكَ أُمَّتِي، ، سَيَبْلُغُ مَا زُوِيَ لِي (١) مِنْهَا، وَإِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الْأَبْيَضَ وَالْأَحْمَرَ، وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يُهْلِكُ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ، وَأَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا فَيُهْلِكَهُمْ بِعَامَّةٍ (٢) ، وَأَنْ لَا (٣) يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا، وَلَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ، وَقَالَ: " يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُرَدُّ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ (٤) لِأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لَا أُهْلِكَهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ، وَلَا أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِمَّنْ سِوَاهُمْ فَيُهْلِكُوهُمْ بِعَامَّةٍ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضًا، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا "، قَالَ: وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَإِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ، فَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " (٥)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah Almighty folded the earth for me until I saw its east and west, and the rule of my Ummah will reach as far as the earth was folded for me. I have been given two treasures, one white and one red. I asked my Lord that He not destroy my Ummah by a general famine, nor impose upon them an enemy who would completely annihilate them and divide them into different groups so that they taste the suffering from one another. So the Lord of the worlds said: O Muhammad! I have made a decision that cannot be changed. I accept your request for your Ummah that I will not destroy them by a general famine, nor will I impose upon them an enemy who will completely annihilate them, but they themselves will kill and imprison each other." And the Prophet (ﷺ) said that he fears misguided leaders for his Ummah. When the sword is once placed among my Ummah (when war breaks out), it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection.
