حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ صَحِبْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَسَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ
إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا ثُمَّ يُمْسِي كَافِرًا، وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَسِيرٍ، أَوْ بِعَرَضِ الدُّنْيَا. قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْنَاهُمْ صُوَرًا، وَلَا عُقُولَ، أَجْسَامًا، وَلَا أَحْلَامَ، فَرَاشَ نَارٍ، وَذِبَّانَ طَمَعٍ، يَغْدُونَ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ، وَيَرُوحُونَ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ، يَبِيعُ أَحَدُهُمْ دِينَهُ بِثَمَنِ الْعَنْزِ

✧ Indeed, before the Hour there will be tribulations like patches of dark night. A man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. Some people will sell their faith for a meager portion of this world, or for worldly goods. Al-Hasan said: 'By Allah, we have seen them: forms without minds, bodies without forbearance, moths of the fire and flies of greed, going out in the morning for two dirhams and returning in the evening for two dirhams. One of them sells his religion for the price of a goat.'
