"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ في زَمَانٍ قَلِيلٍ خُطبَاؤهُ، كَثيرٌ عُلَمَاؤهُ يُطيلُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيَقْصرونَ الخُطْبَةَ، وَإِنَّهُ سَيْأتِىَ عَلَيْكُمْ زمَانٌ كثير خُطباؤُه قَلِيل عُلَمَاؤُه، يُطيلُونَ الخُطْبَةَ وَيُؤَخِّرونَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ: هَذَا شَرَفُ الْمَوْتَى، قِيلَ: وَمَا شَرَفُ الْمَوْتَى، قَالَ: إِذَا اِصْفَرَّت الشَّمْسُ جدًا، فَمَنْ أَدْركَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَصَل الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا، فَإِنْ احْتَبَسَ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلْيَجْعَلْ صَلَاتَهُ وَحْدَهُ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَصَلَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا".

"From Ibn Mas'ud, he said: Indeed you are in a time when its preachers are few and its scholars are many, who prolong the prayer and shorten the sermon. Indeed there will come upon you a time when its preachers are many and its scholars are few, who prolong the sermon and delay the prayer, until it is said: 'This is the dignity of the dead.' It was said: 'And what is the dignity of the dead?' He said: 'When the sun has become very yellow. Whoever reaches that, let him pray the prayer at its time. If he is detained, let him pray with them, and let his prayer alone be the obligatory one and his prayer with them be a voluntary one.'"
