حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي جَدِّي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " هَلَاكُ (١) أُمَّتِي عَلَى يَدَيْ غِلْمَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ "، قَالَ مَرْوَانُ: وَهُوَ مَعَنَا فِي الْحَلْقَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَلِيَ شَيْئًا، فَلَعْنَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، غِلْمَةً، قَالَ: أَمَا (٢) وَاللهِ لَوْ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أَقُولَ بَني فُلَانٍ وَبَني فُلَانٍ (٣) لَفَعَلْتُ قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ أَخْرُجُ أَنَا مَعَ أَبِي، وَجَدِّي إِلَى، ، مَرْوَانَ بَعْدَمَا مُلِّكُوا، فَإِذَا هُمْ يُبَايِعُونَ الصِّبْيَانَ مِنْهُمْ، وَمَنْ يُبَايِعُ لَهُ، وَهُوَ فِي خِرْقَةٍ قَالَ لَنَا: هَلْ عَسَى أَصْحَابُكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنْ يَكُونُوا الَّذِينَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمُلُوكَ يُشْبِهُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: "The destruction of my Ummah will be at the hands of a few foolish youths from the Quraysh." Upon hearing this hadith, Marwan, who was sitting with us in the circle of hadith and had not yet become governor, said: "May Allah's curse be upon those boys." Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, if I wish, I can even tell you the names of their tribes." The narrator says: When Marwan became governor, I set out with my father and grandfather. Those people were taking allegiance even from children, and the one for whom allegiance was being taken was wrapped in a sheet. He said to us: "Perhaps your companions have heard Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate a hadith about kings, that they resemble one another."
