حَدِيثُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ
Hadith of Wathilah bin al-Asqa
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7490 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي مِنْ آخِرِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي مِنْ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَفَاةً ، وَلَتَتْبَعُنِّي أَفْنَادًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that 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, compared with the rest of you. Beware! I will certainly be the first of you to die, and you will follow after me in scattered groups and factions, in a state where you will be striking one another's necks (having fallen into mutual strife)."
