Hadith 12437
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ الضَّحَّاكَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ كَتَبَ إِلَى قَيْسِ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ حِينَ مَاتَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ الدُّخَانِ يَمُوتُ فِيهَا قَلْبُ الرَّجُلِ كَمَا يَمُوتُ بَدَنُهُ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ وَدِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا“ وَإِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ وَأَنْتُمْ إِخْوَانُنَا وَأَشِقَّاؤُنَا فَلَا تَسْبِقُونَا حَتَّى نَخْتَارَ لِأَنْفُسِنَا
When Yazid bin Muawiyah passed away, Dahhak bin Qais wrote a letter to Qais bin Haitham, the contents of which were as follows: Peace be upon you. As for what follows! I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Before the Day of Judgment, there will be severe and terrifying tribulations like pieces of a dark night, and some tribulations will be like pieces of smoke. Then people's hearts will die just as bodies die. A man will begin the morning as a believer and end the evening as a disbeliever, and a man will be a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning, and people will begin to sell their religion and morals for the sake of the world. Yazid bin Muawiyah has passed away, and you are our brother. Do not precede us in any matter until we ourselves have chosen something for ourselves.
