Narrated to us Muhammad ibn Sinan, who said: Narrated to us Fuleih, from Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir, who said: Narrated to us Muhammad ibn Fuleih, who said: Narrated to me my father, who said: Narrated to me Hilaal ibn Ali, from Ata’ ibn Yasar, from Abu Huraira, who said: “While the Prophet (peace be upon him) was sitting in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked, ‘When is the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment)?’ The Prophet continued talking, and some people disliked what he had said and some liked it. When he finished his speech, he asked, ‘Where is the inquirer, who inquired about the Hour?’ The man said, ‘I am here, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Prophet said, ‘When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour.’ The man asked, ‘How will honesty be lost, O Messenger of Allah?’ The Prophet said, ‘When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.'”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مَجْلِسٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَدِّثُ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ سَمِعَ مَا قَالَ، فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ ” أَيْنَ ـ أُرَاهُ ـ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ”. قَالَ هَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ ” فَإِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ ”. قَالَ كَيْفَ إِضَاعَتُهَا قَالَ ” إِذَا وُسِّدَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ ”.
