Musnad Ahmad 24470

Translation

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ mentioned a hardship that would occur before the Dajjal. They said: “Which wealth is best that day?” He said: “A strong slave who gives his family water to drink. As for food, there will be none.” They said: “What will be the food of the believers that day?” He said: “Glorification of God, magnification of God, praise of God, and declaration of God’s oneness.” Aishah said: “Where will the Arabs be that day?” He said: “The Arabs that day will be few.”
