Jami' bin Abi Rashid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated, with his tears flowing, from Sayyidah Umm Mubashshir (may Allah be pleased with her), and she from the Mother of the Believers Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "When evil becomes widespread on the earth, Allah Almighty sends down His punishment upon the people of the earth." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! (Will the punishment come) even if there are righteous people among them?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, even if there are righteous people among them; the same (affliction) that befalls the people at large will befall them too, then they will return to the mercy of Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated it from Jami' (may Allah have mercy on him) except Zubayd (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Zubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) except Muhammad bin Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him), and Hashim bin al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
