حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ، ثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« إِنَّ النَّاسَ الْيَوْمَ كَشَجَرَةٍ ذَاتِ جَنَاءٍ، وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَعُودَ النَّاسُ كَشَجَرَةٍ ذَاتِ شَوْكٍ، إِنْ نَافَرْتَهُمْ نَافَرُوكَ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُمْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوكَ، وَإِنْ هَرَبْتَ مِنْهُمْ طَلَبُوكَ » قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ بِالْمَخْرَجِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « تُقْرِضُهُمْ مِنْ عِرْضِكَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِكَ

✧ Indeed people today are like a tree with leafy branches, and soon people will become like a thorny tree. If you oppose them, they oppose you; if you leave them, they will not leave you; and if you flee from them, they will pursue you.” He said: I said: And how is the way out, O Messenger of Allah? He ﷺ said: “Lend them from your honor for the day of your poverty.”
