"عَنْ عَدِىِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: بُعِثَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِالنُّبُوَّة، فَلَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ كَانَ أَشَدَّ لَهُ بُغْضًا وَلَا كَرَاهِيَةً مِنِّى، حَتَّى لَحِقْتُ بِالرُّومِ فَتَنَصَّرتُ فِيهِمْ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنِى مَا يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الأَخْلَاقِ الْحَسَنَةِ، وَمَا قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْه ارْتَحَلْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ فَوَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَعِنْدَهُ صُهَيْبٌ وَبِلَالٌ وَسَلْمَانُ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَدىُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ: أَسْلِم تَسْلَمْ، فَقُلْتُ: أَخْ أَخْ، فَأَنَخْتُ، فَجَلَسْتُ فَأَلْزَقْتُ رُكْبَتِى بِرُكْبَتِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: مَا الإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ: تُؤْمِنُ بالله وَمَلائكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، وَتُؤْمِنُ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ، حُلْوِهِ وَمُرِّهِ، يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتمٍ: لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ خَزَائنُ كِسْرَى وَقَيصَرَ، يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ: لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَأتِىَ الظَّعِينَةُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ، وَلَم تَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كُوفَةُ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ بِغَيْرِ خَفِيرٍ، يَا عَدِىُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ: لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَحْمِلَ الرَّجُلُ جِرَابَ الْمَالِ فَيَطُوفَ بِهِ فَلَا يَجِد أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهُ، فَيَضْرِبُ بِهِ الأَرْضَ، فَيَقُول: لَيْتَكَ لَم تَكُنْ، لَيْتَكَ تُرَابًا".

"From 'Adi ibn Hatim, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent with prophethood, and I knew of no one among the Arabs who was more hostile or more averse to him than I was. Until I joined the Romans and became a Christian among them. When news reached me of what he called to, of the good character, and of the people gathering around him, I set out until I came to him, stood before him, and with him were Suhayb, Bilal, and Salman. He said: "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam and you will be safe." I said: "Akh, akh," then I made my camel kneel and sat, pressing my knee against his knee. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He said: "You believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers, and you believe in destiny, its good and its bad, its sweet and its bitter. O 'Adi ibn Hatim, the Hour will not come until the treasures of Chosroes and Caesar are opened. O 'Adi ibn Hatim, the Hour will not come until a litter comes from al-Hirah, and at that time there was no Kufah, to circle this House without a guard. O 'Adi ibn Hatim, the Hour will not come until a man carries a bag of money, circulates with it, and finds no one to accept it, so he strikes the ground with it and says: 'Would that you had not existed, would that you were dust.'"
