Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1049

Translation

✧ From Ṭāriq: We were sitting with ʿAbdullāh when his caller came and said: 'The prayer has been established.' He stood and we stood with him, and we entered the mosque. He saw people bowing at the front of the mosque, so he said the takbīr and bowed, and we walked and did the same as he did. A man passed by in haste and said: 'Peace be upon you, O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.' He said: 'Allah has spoken the truth and His Messenger has conveyed.' When we had prayed, he returned and entered upon his family, and we sat in our place waiting for him to come out. Some of us said to others: 'Which of you will ask him?' Ṭāriq said: 'I will ask him.' So he asked him, and he said, on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ: 'Before the Hour comes, greeting will be limited to the special few, trade will spread until a woman helps her husband in trade, ties of kinship will be severed, the pen will spread, false testimony will appear, and true testimony will be concealed.'
