Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40556 — Reports on Uthman (may Allah be)

It is reported from Abu al-Jald that one trial after another will arise. The first in relation to the second will be like the tip of a whip followed by the sharp edge of a sword. Then after that a trial will arise in which all forbidden things will be regarded as lawful. Then the caliphate will come to the best man among the people of the earth, while he is sitting at ease in his house.
