Musnad Ahmad 27499

Translation

✧ While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ discussing what will happen, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you hear of a mountain that has moved from its place, believe it. But if you hear of a man whose character has changed, do not believe it, for he will revert to what he was naturally created upon.
