أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ثنا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا وَكِيعٌ ثنا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ قَالَ
خَطَبَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ وَإِنَّمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَصْطَبُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَإِنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهَا إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا مِنْهَا بِخَيْرِ مَا يَحْضُرُكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي بِهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا وَمَا يُدْرِكُ لَهَا قَعْرًا فَوَاللَّهِ لَتَمْلَأَنَّهُ أَفَعَجِبْتُمْ وَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ بَيْنَهُمَا أَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَهُوَ كَظِيظٌ مِنَ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي لَسَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَإِنِّي الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَارِسِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَاتَّزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا وَاتَّزَرَ سَعْدٌ بِنِصْفِهَا وَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أُحُدٌ حَيٌّ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرَ مِصْرَ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ وَإِنَّنِي أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ صَغِيرًا وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاقَصَتْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مُلْكًا وَسَتُجَرِّبُونَ أَوْ سَتَبْلُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدِي»

'Utba b. Ghazwan delivered us a sermon and he praised Allah and lauded Him, then said: Now coming to the point, verily the world has been given the news of its end and that too quite early. Nothing would be left out of it but only water left in the utensil which its owner leaves, and you are going to shift to an abode which knows no end, and you should shift with the good before you, for we have been told that a stone would be thrown at one side of the Hell and it would go down even for seventy years but would not be able to reach its bottom. By Allah, it would be fully packed. Do you find it something strange, and it has been mentioned that there yawns a distance which one would be able to cover in forty years from one end to another of Paradise, and a day would come when it would be fully packed and you must be knowing that I was the seventh amongst seven who had been with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we had nothing to eat but the leaves of the tree until the corners of the mouth were injured. We found a sheet which we tore in two and divided between myself and Sa'd b. Malik. I made the lower garment with halt of it and so did Sa'd make the lower garment with half of it and today there is none amongst us who has not become the governor of a city from amongst the cities (of the Islamic Commonwealth) and I seek refuge with Allah that I should consider myself great whereas I am insignificant in the eye of Allah. Prophethood does not remain for ever and its impact fades with the result that it changes eventually into kingship, and you would soon come to know and experience those rulers who would come after us and see (how far they are from religion). (Using translation from Muslim 2967a)
