Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "You think that I will pass away last among you, whereas I will depart before you; then after me you will be divided into different factions and will kill one another."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its narrators have been declared trustworthy, and there is disagreement about some of them.
