Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 1-87b
"عَنْ حُميْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ أبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ فِى مَرَضِهِ الَّذِى تُوُفِّىَ فِيهِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ أقْبَلَتْ وَلَمَّا تُقْبِلْ، وَهِىَ خَائِنَةٌ، وَسَيَجِدُونَ سُتورَ الْحَرِيرِ وَنَضَائِدَ اْلدِّيبَاجِ وضَجَائِعَ الصُّوف الأذربى، كَأَنَّ أحَدَكُمْ عَلَى حَسَكِ السَّعْدَانِ، فَوَالله لَا يُقَدَّمُ أَحَدُكُمْ فَتُضْرَبَ عُنُقُهُ فِى حَدٍّ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْبَحَ فِى غَمْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا".

"From Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf, from his father, who said: I entered upon Abū Bakr during his illness in which he died, and I greeted him with salaam. He said: I saw the world coming forward, though it has not yet come forward, and it is treacherous. They will find curtains of silk, cushions of brocade, and beds of Adhrabī wool, as though one of you were lying on the thorns of the saʿdān plant. By God, for one of you to be brought forward and have his neck struck in a prescribed punishment (ḥadd) is better for him than to swim in the flood of the world."

Notes
[طب] الطبرانى في الكبير [حل] أبى نعيم في الحلية وله حكم الرفع، لأنه من الإخبار عما يأتى
machine translation[ṭab] al-Ṭabarānī in al-Kabīr; [ḥil] Abū Nuʿaym in al-Ḥilyah. It has the ruling of a raised report (marfūʿ), because it is a report about what is to come.
