Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8941 — Hold fast to this community, for it

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءَ، أَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قُطْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: «الْزَمُوا هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّهُ حَبْلُ اللهِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ، وَإِنَّ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ فِي الْفُرْقَةِ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ مُنْتَهًى، وَإِنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ قَدْ تَمَّ، وَإِنَّهُ صَائِرٌ إِلَى نُقْصَانٍ، وَإِنَّ أَمَارَةَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ الْأَرْحَامُ، وَيُؤْخَذَ الْمَالُ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، وَتُسْفَكَ الدِّمَاءُ، وَيَشْكِي ذُو الْقَرَابَةِ إِلَى قَرَابَتِهِ لَا يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ، وَيَطُوفُ السَّائِلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ مَا يُوضَعُ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ خَارَتِ الْأَرْضُ خُوَارَ الْبَقَرِ إِذْ قَذَفَتْ أَفْلَاذَ كَبِدِهَا فَلَا يُنْتَفَعُ بَعْدَهُ بِذَهَبٍ، وَلَا فِضَّةٍ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Hold fast to this community, for it is the rope of Allah which He has commanded. What you dislike in the community is better than what you like in division. Allah Almighty has not created anything without setting a limit for it. This religion has now been completed, and soon it will move towards decrease. The sign of that is that ties of kinship will be severed, wealth will be taken unlawfully, blood will be shed, a relative will complain to his relative and he will do him no good, and the beggar will go around between one Friday and the next without anything being placed in his hand. While they are in this state, the earth will bellow with a sound like the lowing of a cow and throw out the pieces of its liver; after that no benefit will be drawn from gold and silver."
