It is narrated from Zubair bin Adi, he says: We complained to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) about the oppression of Hajjaj. He said: Be patient, I heard your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "No day or year comes upon you except that the one following it is worse than the one before, until you meet your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic."
