عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " مَهْلًا ; فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ - تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى - شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ ، فَلَوْلَا صِبْيَانٌ رُضَّعٌ ، وَرِجَالٌ رُكَّعٌ ، وَبَهَائِمُ رُتَّعٌ ، صُبَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَذَابُ صَبًّا - أَوْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَذَابُ - " . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لَوْلَا شَبَابٌ خُشَّعٌ ، وَشُيُوخٌ رُكَّعٌ ، وَأَطْفَالٌ رُضَّعٌ ، وَبَهَائِمُ رُتَّعٌ ، لَصُبَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَذَابُ صَبًّا ، ثُمَّ لَرَضَّ رَضًّا " . وَقَالَ : " مَهْلًا عَنِ اللَّهِ مَهْلًا " .
وَأَبُو يَعْلَى أَخْصَرُ مِنْهُ ، وَفِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَيْثَمٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Take heed! Allah Almighty is severe in punishment. Were it not for suckling infants, grown men who bow (that is, worshippers) and grazing animals, punishment would have been poured upon you (the narrator is in doubt, or perhaps the words are:) punishment would have descended upon you."
Al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, except that he reported the words: "Were it not for humble youths, elders who bow, suckling infants and grazing animals, punishment would have been poured upon you and then you would have been crushed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take heed regarding Allah Almighty, take heed (that is, do not invite His punishment through disobedience to Him). Abu Ya'la recorded it as a more concise narration than this; its chain contains a narrator, Ibrahim bin Khaytham, and he is da'if (weak).

وَعَنْ مُسَافِعٍ الدِّيلِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْلَا عِبَادٌ لِلَّهِ رُكَّعٌ ، وَصِبْيَةٌ رُضَّعٌ ، وَبَهَائِمُ رُتَّعٌ ، لَصُبَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَذَابُ صَبًّا ، ثُمَّ رَضَّ رَضًّا " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Musafi' al-Dili (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Were it not for the servants of Allah Almighty who bow (that is, worshippers), suckling infants and grazing animals, punishment would have been poured upon you and then you would have been crushed."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Rahman bin Sa'd bin Ammar, and he is da'if (weak).
