Humayd bin Hilal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Hisham bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) would see some people pass him by and go to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn and to other Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would say: You pass me by and go to men who were not more often present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than I was, nor more knowledgeable of his hadith than I. And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "From the creation of Adam (peace be upon him) until the establishment of the Hour, there is no trial greater than the trial of the Dajjal."
