حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ (١) ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْزُوقٌ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحِمْصِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيُّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمُ الْأُمَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُفُقٍ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ عَلَى قَصْعَتِهَا ". ١٠ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ بِنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَكِنْ تَكُونُونَ (٢) غُثَاءً كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ، تُنْتَزَعُ الْمَهَابَةُ مِنْ قُلُوبِ عَدُوِّكُمْ، وَيَجْعَلُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهْنَ ". قَالَ: قُلْنَا: وَمَا الْوَهْنُ؟ قَالَ: " حُبُّ الْحَيَاةِ وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A time will soon come when people from every corner of the world, from different nations, will invite one another against you just as people are invited to a dish." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will this happen because our numbers will be few at that time?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "At that time, your numbers will be many, but you will be like the foam or scum on the surface of the sea. The awe of you will be removed from the hearts of your enemies, and 'wahn' will be cast into your hearts." We asked, "What is 'wahn'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Love of the world and dislike of death."
