عَنْ كُرْزِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! هَلْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ مُنْتَهَى؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَوِ الْعَجَمِ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِمْ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ)) قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قَالَ: ((ثُمَّ تَقَعُ فِتَنٌ كَأَنَّهَا الظُّلَلُ، قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: كَلَّا، (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: كَلَّا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ) قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَعُودَنَّ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدُ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ))
Sayyiduna Karz bin Alqamah Khuza’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Bedouin said: “O Messenger of Allah! Is there any end to Islam?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes, when Allah intends good and well-being for the people of any house among the Arabs and non-Arabs, He will cause Islam to enter them.” He said: “O Messenger of Allah! Then what will happen?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Then tribulations will appear like shadows (i.e., like mountains and clouds).” He said: “Never! By Allah, if Allah wills, it will never be so.” But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why not, by Him in Whose hand is my soul! You will pounce upon each other’s necks like the most wicked, great serpent.”
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The circumstances of the rise and decline of Islam that have already manifested can be considered as the referent of this hadith. Astonishing examples of mutual killing and bloodshed among Muslims are found even within the first two centuries. Wa Allahu nasta’lu al-‘afiyah (And we ask Allah for well-being).
