حَدِيثُ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (١)، ٢٣٩٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ الشَّامِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ قَالَ: فَقَالُوا: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا عَمَّرَ الْمُسْلِمُ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي أَخَافُ سِتًّا إِمَارَةَ السُّفَهَاءِ، وَبَيْعَ الْحُكْمِ، وَكَثْرَةَ الشُّرَطِ، وَقَطِيعَةَ الرَّحِمِ، وَنَشْءً يَنْشَئُونَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ، وَسَفْكَ الدَّمِ " (٢)، ،

Shaddad Abu Ammar says that once Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O plague! Take hold of me." People asked, "Did you hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say that however long a Muslim lives, it is better for him?" He replied, "Why not, but I fear six things: the rule of fools, justice being sold, widespread gambling, severing of family ties, the rise of a generation that will make the Qur'an into a musical instrument, and bloodshed."
