Hadith 1196

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ ظُلْمَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ أَنَسًا ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ ، هَلْ كَانَ يُصِيبُكُمْ مِثْلُ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ ، إِنْ كَانَتِ الرِّيحُ لَتَشْتَدُّ فَنُبَادِرُ الْمَسْجِدَ مَخَافَةَ الْقِيَامَةِ .
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: Ubaydullah ibn an-Nadr reported on the authority of his father: Darkness prevailed in the time of Anas ibn Malik, I came to Anas and said (to him): Abu Hamzah, did anything like this happen to you in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He replied: Take refuge in Allah. If the wind blew violently, we would run quickly towards the mosque for fear of the coming of the Day of Judgment.

1196. Commentary:
In this hadith, it is stated that those people had a great deal of fear and dread of the Day of Judgment, whereas now, calamity after calamity befalls people, yet the thought of the Day of Judgment does not even occur to them, nor do they have any concern for reforming themselves.
