أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ يَقُولُ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كَانَ يَتَخَوَّفُ الْقَوْمُ حَيْثُ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا فِيهَا رِزْقًا وَقَرَارًا؟ قَالَ «كَانُوا يَتَخَوَّفُونَ جَوْرَ الْوُلَاةِ وَقُحُوطَ الْمَطَرِ»

✧ I heard Abu Hurayrah say: We said, "O Messenger of Allah, what were the people afraid of when they used to say, upon overlooking Madinah, 'Grant us provision and a settled abode therein'?" He said, "They were afraid of the injustice of rulers and the withholding of rain."
