حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّيِّبِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْحِيرِيُّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ ثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ

كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا لَبِسَتْكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ يَهْرَمُ فِيهَا الْكَبِيرُ وَيَرْبُو فِيهَا الصَّغِيرُ وَيَتَّخِذُهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً فَإِذَا غُيِّرَتْ قَالُوا غُيِّرَتِ السُّنَّةُ؟ قِيلٌ مَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا كَثُرَتْ قُرَّاؤُكُمْ وَقَلَّتْ فُقَهَاؤُكُمْ وَكَثُرَتْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَقَلَّتْ أُمَنَاؤُكُمْ وَالْتُمِسَتِ الدُّنْيَا بِعَمَلِ الْآخِرَةِ»

✧ How will you be when a tribulation envelops you in which the elder grows senile, the young grows up, and the people take it as a sunnah, so that when it is changed they say, "The sunnah has been changed"? It was said, "When will that be, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman?" He said, "When your reciters become many and your jurists become few, your wealth becomes abundant and your trustworthy people become few, and the worldly life is sought through deeds of the Hereafter."
