It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon you will be sifted (through trials) until you are left among the dregs of people (the degenerate), whose covenants have become corrupt and whose trusts have been ruined." One of us asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what will become of us then?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Act upon what you recognise (as good), and leave what you reject (as evil), and say: 'Ahadun ahad, unsurna 'ala man zalamana, wakfina man baghana' (He is One, He is One; help us against whoever wrongs us, and suffice us against whoever transgresses against us)."
This hadith is not narrated from Shurayh al-Qadi (may Allah have mercy on him) except with this chain, and Ya'qub bin Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
