حَدِيثُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ
Hadith of Wathilah bin al-Asqa
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7488 — he heard Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' say
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى التُّسْتَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مِنْ آخِرِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي مِنْ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، وَتَتْبَعُونِي أَفْنَادًا يُهْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا .
Rabi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us and said: "You think that I will be the last of you to die. Be aware that I will be the first of you to die, and you will follow after me in different groups and factions, destroying one another."
