حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي غَاضِرَةَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ (٢) لِمَرْوَانَ: هَذَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْبَابِ، قَالَ: ائْذَنُوا لَهُ، قَالَ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " أَوْشَكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى أَنَّهُ خَرَّ مِنَ الثُّرَيَّا، وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتَوَلَّ - أَوْ يَلِ، شَكَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا "، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ هَلَاكَ الْعَرَبِ بِيَدَيْ فِتْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ " قَالَ: قَالَ مَرْوَانُ: بِئْسَ وَاللهِ الْفِتْيَةُ هَؤُلَاءِ (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

Once Marwan was informed that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing at his door. He said, "Call him inside." When he came in, Marwan said, "O Abu Hurairah, narrate to us a hadith which you yourself heard from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)." He said, "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say: 'A time will soon come when a person will wish that he would fall from the height of the star Thurayya rather than be given any responsibility from the affairs of government.' And I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say: 'The destruction of the Arabs will be at the hands of a few young men from the Quraysh.'" Marwan said, "By Allah, they will be the worst of youths."
