Musnad Ahmad 6952

Translation

✧ Abdullah b. Amr came to Nawf—meaning al-Bikali—while he was narrating, and said: Narrate, for we have been forbidden from narrating. He said: I would not narrate while there is with me a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and from Quraysh. Then Abdullah b. Amr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There will be a migration after a migration, and the best of the earth—Abd al-Samad said: the best of the earth—will be toward the place of Ibrahim's migration. Then the worst of its people will remain on the earth; the earth will cast them out, and Allah (Mighty and Glorious) will loathe them, and the Fire will gather them with the apes and pigs. Then he said: Narrate, for we have been forbidden from narrating. He said: I would not narrate while there is with me a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and from Quraysh. Then Abdullah b. Amr said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A people will come forth from the east, reciting the Qur'an but it will not pass beyond their collarbones. Whenever a generation is cut off, another generation will arise, [whenever a generation is cut off, another generation will arise], until the Dajjal emerges from their remnant.
