Awn bin Abdullah bin Utbah relates: I said to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "Soon there will be ambiguous matters. Whoever is pleased with them while absent from them is like one who was present at them, and whoever is present at them but dislikes them is like one who was absent from them." Umar bin Abd al-Aziz liked this.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; Awn did not meet Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and al-Mas'udi became confused (ikhtalata) in his memory.
