وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ بْنِ قَحْذَمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَحْذَمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَتُمْلَأُ الْأَرْضُ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا، فَإِذَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا بَعَثَ اللهُ تَعَالَى رَجُلًا مِنِّي، اسْمُهُ اسْمِي، أَوِ اسْمُ نَبِيٍّ، يَمْلَأُهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا، فَلَا تَمْنَعُ السَّمَاءُ شَيْئًا مِنْ قَطْرِهَا، وَلَا الْأَرْضُ مِنْ نَبَاتِهَا، فَيَلْبَثُ فِيهِمْ سَبْعَةً أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةً، فَإِنْ كَثُرَ فَتِسْعَةً

✧ The earth will surely be filled with oppression and injustice. When it is filled with oppression and injustice, Allah the Exalted will send a man from me whose name is my name, or the name of a prophet, who will fill it with equity and justice. The sky will not withhold any of its rain, nor the earth any of its vegetation. He will remain among them seven or eight, or if longer, nine.
