It is narrated from Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) that I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Indeed, you are in a time in which jurists are many and preachers are few, those who ask are few and those who give are many, and desires are subordinate to actions. And after you, a time will come in which jurists will be few and preachers will be many. Those who ask will be many and those who give will be few. Actions will be subordinate to desires. Know that in the last times, good manners will be better and superior than some deeds.

It is narrated from Jariri (may Allah have mercy on him) that I asked Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes, and to my knowledge, there is no man alive on the face of the earth except me who has seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he said, "The complexion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was white and his blessed face was extremely beautiful."
In another chain, Jariri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I and Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), that is, Amir bin Wathila al-Kinani, were performing Tawaf of the House of Allah when Sayyiduna Abu al-Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "No companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remains except me." I asked, "Did you see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said, "Yes!" I asked, "What was the appearance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like?" He said, "The complexion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was white, his face was attractive and charming, and he was of medium height."
