Hadith 12524

عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْلَى قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ بِالْأَهْوَازِ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ يَسِيرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ عَلَى بَغْلٍ أَوْ بَغْلَةٍ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ ذَهَبَ قَرْنِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَأَلْحِقْنِي بِهِمْ، فَقُلْتُ: وَأَنَا فَأَدْخِلْ فِي دَعْوَتِكَ، قَالَ: وَصَاحِبِي هَذَا إِنْ أَرَادَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”خَيْرُ أُمَّتِي قَرْنِي مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ.“ قَالَ: وَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا، ”ثُمَّ تَخْلُفُ أَقْوَامٌ يَظْهَرُ فِيهِمُ السِّمَنُ، يُهْرِيقُونَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَلَا يَسْأَلُونَهَا.“ قَالَ: وَإِذَا هُوَ بُرَيْدَةُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ.
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Mula, he says: I was walking in Ahwaz and ahead of me there was a man riding a mule, saying: O Allah, my time in this Ummah has been completed, now unite me with my companions. When I heard his words, I said: And me too, include me in your prayer as well. He said: O Allah! Let this companion of mine also be with me, if he also desires this. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The best of my Ummah is my time, then those who come after them. Now I do not know whether the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned the third generation or not. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: After that, such people will come among whom obesity will be common, they will not be asked for testimony, but they will give testimony. This man was Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami, may Allah be pleased with him.
