حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ،، ، أَنَّ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، كَتَبَ إِلَى قَيْسِ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ: (١) إِنَّكُمْ إِخْوَانُنَا، وَأَشِقَّاؤُنَا، وَإِنَّا شَهِدْنَا، وَلَمْ تَشْهَدُوا، وَسَمِعْنَا، وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا، وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا، وَيَبِيعُ فِيهَا أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Qais bin Haitham in a letter that you people are our brothers, but we have been present at such occasions where you were not, and we have heard things that you have not heard. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) used to say that before the Day of Judgment, tribulations will appear like the portions of a dark night. In that era, a man will be a Muslim in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, or a Muslim in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning, and people will sell their religion and morals for a small portion of worldly goods.
