"عَنْ مَهْدىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يا مَهْدىُّ إِذَا ظُهِرَ بخيَاركُمْ، وَاسْتُعْملَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحْدَاثُكُمْ وَأَشْرَارُكُمْ، وَصُلِّيْت الصَّلَاةُ لغَيْر ميقَاتِهَا؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِى، قَالَ: لَا تَكُنْ جَابِيًا () وَلَا عَريفًا وَلَا شُرْطيًا وَلا بَرِيدًا، وَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لمِيقَاتِهَا".

"On the authority of Mahdi, who said: Ibn Mas'ud said: How will you be, O Mahdi, when your best people are overthrown, your youths and your wicked ones are put in charge over you, and the prayer is performed at other than its appointed time? I said: I do not know. He said: Do not be a tax collector, nor a chief, nor a police officer, nor a postman, and pray the prayer at its appointed time."
