"كَيفَ أنْتَ يَا إِذَا افْتَرَقَتْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةُ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً، وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا فِي الجَنَّةِ وسائِرُهُنَّ فِي النَّار؟ قال (): وَكَيفَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَال: إِذَ كَثُرَتْ الشُّرَطُ، ومَلَكَت الإِمَاءُ، وقَعَدتْ الْحِمَلان على المَنَابر، وَاتُّخذ القُرْآنِ مَزَامِيرَ، وَزُخْرِفَتْ الْمَسَاجِدُ، وَرُفِعَتْ الْمَنَابر، وَاتُّخذ الفَيءُ دولًا، وَالزَّكَاة مَغْرمًا، وَالأَمَانَةُ مَغْنَمًا، وتُفُقِّه فِي الدِّين لِغَير الله، وَأَطَاعَ الرَّجل امرَأَتهُ وعَقَّ أُمَّهُ وَأَقْصى أَبَاهُ، وَلَعَن آخِرُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّة أَوَّلَهَا، وَسَادَ القَبيلَةَ فَاسِقُهُم، وَكَانَ زَعِيمُ القَوْمِ أَرْذَلَهُم، وَأَكْرمَ الرَّجُلُ اتِّقَاءَ شَرِّه، فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَكُونُ ذَاكَ، وَيَفْزعَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ، وَإِلَى مَدِينَة يُقَالُ لَهَا: "دِمَشْقَ" مِنْ خَير مُدُنِ الشَّامِ فَتُحَصِّنُهُمِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهم، قيلَ: وَهَلْ تُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ؟ قَال: نَعَمْ وَشيِكًا، ثُمَّ تَقَعُ الْفتَنُ بَعْدَ فَتحِهَا، ثُمَّ تَجِئُ فتْنَةٌ غَبْرَاءُ مُظلِمَةٌ، ثُمَّ يَتْبَع الفِتَنُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيتِي يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْمَهدِي فَإِن أَدْرَكْتَه فَاتَّبِعْه وَكُن مِن المُهْتَدِينَ".

"How will you be, O [unclear], when this nation splits into seventy-three sects, one of them in Paradise and the rest of them in the Fire? He said: How will that come about? He said: When the police become many, slave women come to rule, young sheep stand upon the pulpits, the Qur'an is taken as flutes, the mosques are adorned, the pulpits are raised high, the spoils of war are taken as a possession passed among a few, zakāh as a burden, and trust as booty; when religious knowledge is studied for other than God, a man obeys his wife, disobeys his mother and keeps his father away, the last of this nation curses its first, the sinner among them leads the tribe, the leader of the people is the lowest of them, and a man is honored out of fear of his evil. On that day, that will come to pass, and the people will flee on that day to Syria (al-Shām), to a city called "Damascus", one of the best cities of Syria, and it will protect them from their enemy. It was said: Will Syria be conquered? He said: Yes, soon. Then trials will occur after its conquest, then a dusty, dark trial will come, then trials will follow one another until a man from my family comes forth, called al-Mahdī. If you reach him, follow him and be among the rightly guided."
