Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15149 — I was with Sayyiduna Abis al-Ghifari

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْروِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا زُهَيْرٌ، ثنا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ زَاذَانِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَجَارٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَرَأَى النَّاسُ يَتَحَمَّلُونَ لِيَهْرَبُوا مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ: يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ، يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ، يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ: قَدْ كَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ لِمَ يَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَيَكُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ انْقِطَاعُ أَجَلِهِ»
وَقَدْ " سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَخَوَّفْهُنَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ: بَيْعُ الْحُكْمِ، وَإِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ، وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ، وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ، واسْتِخْفَافٌ بِالدَّمِ، وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ لَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ لَا يُقَدِّمُونَهُ إِلَّا لِيُغَنِّيَهُمْ بِهِ غِنَاءً "
Zadhan says: I was with Sayyiduna Abis al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) on a rooftop in Basrah. He saw the people loading their belongings to flee from the plague, and he said: O plague, take me to you! O plague, take me to you! O plague, take me to you! A cousin of his said: He has had the companionship of the Prophet; why then is he wishing for death? And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Let none of you wish for death, lest his appointed time be cut off at that very moment."
And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) feared these things for his Ummah: the selling of judgements, the rule of fools, an abundance of police guards, severing ties of kinship, taking bloodshed lightly, and the emergence of people who will take the Qur'an as musical instruments; they will put forward from among themselves a man who is not the most knowledgeable of them, and they will put him forward only so that he may sing it to them.
