It was narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Abd Rabbil-Ka’bah said: “I came to ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘As when he was sitting inthe shade of the Ka’bah, and the people were gathered around him,and I heard him say: ‘While we were with the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) on a journey, he stopped to camp and some of us were pitchingtents, some were competing in shooting arrows and some were takingthe animals out to graze them. Then his caller called out: “As-SalatuJami’ah (prayer is about to begin).” So we gathered, and theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and addressed us. He said: “Therehas never been a Prophet before me who was not obliged to tell hisnation of what he knew was good for them, and to warn against what heknew was bad for them. With regard to this nation of yours, soundness(of religious commitment) and well-being has been placed in itsearlier generations and the last of them will be afflicted withcalamities and things that you dislike. Then there will cometribulations which will make the earlier ones pale into significance,and the believer will say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ thenrelief will come. Then (more) tribulations will come and the believerwill say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ then relief will come.Whoever would like to be taken far away from Hell and admitted toParadise, let him die believing in Allah and the Last Day, and lethim treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever gives hisoath of allegiance to a ruler and gives a sincere promise, let himobey him as much as he can, and if another comes and challenges him,let them strike the neck (i.e., kill) the second one.’” He the narrator said: “I raised my head among the people and said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He (‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As) pointed with his hand to his ears and said: I heard it directly from him and memorized it.’”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
حدثنا أبو كريب، حدثنا أبو معاوية، وعبد الرحمن المحاربي، ووكيع، عن الأعمش، عن زيد بن وهب، عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد رب الكعبة، قال انتهيت إلى عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص وهو جالس في ظل الكعبة والناس مجتمعون عليه فسمعته يقول بينا نحن مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في سفر إذ نزل منزلا فمنا من يضرب خباءه ومنا من ينتضل ومنا من هو في جشره إذ نادى مناديه الصلاة جامعة فاجتمعنا فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فخطبنا فقال ” إنه لم يكن نبي قبلي إلا كان حقا عليه أن يدل أمته على ما يعلمه خيرا لهم وينذرهم ما يعلمه شرا لهم وإن أمتكم هذه جعلت عافيتها في أولها وإن آخرهم يصيبهم بلاء وأمور تنكرونها ثم تجيء فتن يرقق بعضها بعضا فيقول المؤمن هذه مهلكتي ثم تنكشف ثم تجيء فتنة فيقول المؤمن هذه مهلكتي . ثم تنكشف فمن سره أن يزحزح عن النار ويدخل الجنة فلتدركه موتته وهو يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر وليأت إلى الناس الذي يحب أن يأتوا إليه ومن بايع إماما فأعطاه صفقة يمينه وثمرة قلبه فليطعه ما استطاع فإن جاء آخر ينازعه فاضربوا عنق الآخر ” . قال فأدخلت رأسي من بين الناس فقلت أنشدك الله أنت سمعت هذا من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال فأشار بيده إلى أذنيه فقال سمعته أذناى ووعاه قلبي .
