Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 17716a
"لَنْ تنفَكُّوا بخَيرٍ مَا اسْتَغْنَى أَهْلُ بَدْوكُمْ عَنْ أهْلِ حَضَرِكُمْ، وَلَتَسُوقَنَّهُمْ السِّنِين والسَّنَاتُ حَتَّى يَكُوَنُوا مَعَكُمْ في الدِّيَارِ، ولا تَمْنَعُوا مِنْهُمْ لِكَثْرَةِ مَنْ يَسْتَر عَلَيكمْ مِنْهم: يَقُولونَ طَال مَا جُعْنَا وَشَبْعْتُمْ، وَطَال مَا شَقَينَا وَنَعِمْتُم، فَوَاسُونا اليَوْمَ، وَلَتسَتَصْعبنَ بِكُمْ الأرْض حَتَّى يَغْبِطَ أهْلُ حَضَرِكُمْ أهْلَ بَدْوَكُمْ مِنْ اسْتِصْعَاب الأرْضِ، وَلَتَمِيلَنَّ بِكُمْ الأرْضُ مَيلَةً يَهْلِك مَنْ هَلَكَ، وَيَبْقَى مَنْ بَقِيَ حَتَّى تُعْتَقَ الرِّقَابُ، ثمَّ تَهْدأ بِكُمْ الأرْضُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَنْدَم المُعتَقُونَ، ثُمَّ تَمِيلُ بكم الأرْضُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ مَيلَة أُخْرَى فَيَهْلِكُ فِيهَا مَنْ هَلَكَ وَيَبقَى مَنْ بَقِيَ حَتَّى تُعْتَقَ الرِّقَابُ، ثُمَّ تَهْدأ بِكُمُ الأرْضُ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَبّنَا نَعْتق، ربنا نَعْتِق فَيُكَذَبهم اللهُ: كَذَبْتُمْ كذَبْتُمْ، كَذَبْتُمْ أَنَا أَعْتِق وَلَتُبَتَلينَّ أُخْرَيَاتُ هَذِه الأمَّةِ بِالرَّجْف، فَإنْ تَابُوا تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيهمْ، وإنْ عَادُوا أعَادَ اللهُ عَلَيهُمْ الرَّجفَ والقَذْفَ والخَذَفْ والمَسْخَ والخَسْفَ والصَّوَاعقَ، فإِذَا قِيلَ: هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، هلَكَ النَّاسُ، فَقَدْ هَلَكُوا وَلَنْ يُعَذِّبَ اللهُ أمَّةَ حَتَّى تَغْدِرَ، قَالوا: وَمَا غَدْرهُا؟ قَال: يَعْتَرِفون بالذنوبَ ولا يَتُوبُونَ، وَلَتَطمِئنَّ قُلوُبُهمْ بِمَا فِيهَا مِنْ بَرِّهَا وَفُجُورِهَا، كمَا تَطمَئِنُّ الشَّجَرَةُ بِمَا فِيهَا حَتَّى لَا يَسْتَطِيعَ مُحْسِنٌ أَنْ يَزْدَادَ إِحْسَانًا، ولا يَسْتَطِيعَ مُسِئٌ اسْتِعتَابًا، وَذَلِكَ لأن الله ﷻ قَال: كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلى قلوبِهم مَا كانُوا يَكْسِبُون".

“You will not cease to be in good as long as the people of your desert are not in need of the people of your settled areas. The years of drought and the years of hardship will drive you until they are with you in your homes, and do not withhold from them because of the abundance of those who conceal from you among them. They say: ‘How long we have been hungry while you were full, and how long we have suffered while you were blessed. So share with us today.’ The land will surely become difficult for you, until the people of your settled areas envy the people of your desert because of the difficulty of the land. The land will surely tilt with you in a tilt by which whoever perishes will perish, and whoever remains will remain, until slaves are freed. Then the land will settle with you after that, until those who freed slaves regret it. Then the land will tilt with you again after that in another tilt, in which whoever perishes will perish, and whoever remains will remain, until slaves are freed. Then the land will settle with you, and they will say: ‘Our Lord, we will free them, our Lord, we will free them.’ Allah will refute them: ‘You lie, you lie, you lie, I am the one who frees.’ The last of this nation will be tested with trembling. If they repent, Allah will accept their repentance; and if they return, Allah will send upon them trembling, hurling, transformation, metamorphosis, sinking into the earth, and thunderbolts. When it is said: ‘The people have perished, the people have perished, the people have perished,’ then they have indeed perished. Allah will not punish a nation until it commits treachery.” They said: “And what is its treachery?” He said: “They acknowledge sins and do not repent, and their hearts will be at rest with what is in them of righteousness and wickedness, as a tree is at rest with what is in it, until no doer of good can increase in goodness, and no wrongdoer can seek to make amends. That is because Allah, the Exalted, said: {Nay, but what they used to earn has rusted over their hearts} (83:14).”
