عَنْ أَبِي حَلْبَسٍ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُكَنِّيهِ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدَهَا يَقُولُ ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي بَاعِثٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ أُمَّةً إِنْ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا يُحِبُّونَ حَمِدُوا اللَّهَ وَشَكَرُوا وَإِنْ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُونَ احْتَسَبُوا وَصَبَرُوا وَلَا حِلْمَ وَلَا عِلْمَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ هَذَا لَهُمْ وَلَا حِلْمَ وَلَا عِلْمَ قَالَ أُعْطِيهِمْ مِنْ حِلْمِي وَعِلْمِي“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard Abu’l-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the narrator Umm Darda’ says: I never heard Abu Darda’ mention the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) by his kunyah (Abu’l-Qasim) before or after this. In any case, he says that Abu’l-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Allah Almighty said: O ‘Isa! After you, I am going to send a community, if they receive that which they love, they will praise Me and give thanks, and if they encounter circumstances which outwardly they dislike, even then they will be patient and hope for reward. They will have neither forbearance nor knowledge. ‘Isa (peace be upon him) said: O my Lord! When they have neither forbearance nor knowledge, how will these qualities be found in them? Allah Almighty said: I will bestow upon them forbearance and knowledge from Myself.
