حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ حَدَّثَتْنِي طَلْحَةُ أُمُّ غُرَابٍ عَنْ عَقِيلَةَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ مَوْلاَةٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ سَلاَمَةَ بِنْتِ الْحُرِّ أُخْتِ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَتَدَافَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِمَامًا يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ
