Hadith 123

وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَتَذَاكَرُ مَا يَكُونُ إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ‏‏‏‏إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِجَبَلٍ زَالَ عَن مَكَانَهُ فصدقوا وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِرَجُلٍ تَغَيَّرَ عَنْ خُلُقِهِ فَلَا تصدقوا بِهِ وَإنَّهُ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَا جُبِلَ عَلَيْهِ ". رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ‏‏‏‏ 
Abud Darda’ said: While we were with God’s messenger discussing what would come to pass God’s messenger said, “When you hear that a mountain has moved from its place believe it; but when you hear that a man's nature has changed do not believe it, for he will remain true to his inborn disposition.” Ahmad transmitted it.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Hadith Authentication:
This narration is weak due to the chain of transmission being disconnected (munqati‘).
◈ Hafiz Nuruddin al-Haythami said:
“But al-Zuhri did not meet Abu al-Darda.” [مجمع الزوائد 7؍196]
It is thus evident that Imam al-Zuhri did not see nor meet Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda, therefore this narration is rejected due to being disconnected (munqati‘).
