Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 11965

وَعَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الْأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا [ وَإِنَّ مُلْكَ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا ] ، وَإِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الْأَبْيَضَ وَالْأَحْمَرَ ، وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ ، وَأَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا فَيُهْلِكَهُمْ بِعَامَّةٍ ، وَأَنْ لَا يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا ، وَأَنْ لَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ . فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً [ فَإِنَّهُ ] لَا يُرَدُّ ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لَا أُهْلِكَهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ ، وَأَنْ لَا أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا [ مِمْنَ سِوَاهُمْ ] فَيُهْلِكُوهُمْ بِعَامَّةٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضًا وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا " . قَالَ : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ ، وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَا يُرْفَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, Allah Almighty folded up the earth for me, and I saw its eastern and western parts, and the dominion of my Ummah will soon reach as far as the part of it that was folded up for me. I was given two kinds of treasure, the white and the red. I asked my Lord that He would not destroy my Ummah through a general famine, that He would not set their enemy over them in such a way that they would be destroyed altogether, and that He would not divide them into factions so that they harm one another. The Lord said: 'O Muhammad, when I issue a decree, it cannot be undone. I have granted you, for your Ummah, that I will not destroy them through a general famine, and that I will not set their enemy over them so that the enemy destroys them altogether; rather, they will destroy one another, kill one another and take one another captive.'" The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For my Ummah I fear only misguiding rulers. When the sword is placed among my Ummah, it will not be lifted from them until the Day of Resurrection."
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
