حَدَّثَنَا
حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
جَمِيلٌ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ ، عَنْ
سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ :
" اللَّهُمَّ لَا يُدْرِكْنِي زَمَانٌ وْ لَا تُدْرِكُوا زَمَانًا لَا يُتْبَعُ فِيهِ الْعَلِيمُ ، وَلَا يُسْتَحَى فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَلِيمِ ، قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الْأَعَاجِمِ ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ أَلْسِنَةُ الْعَرَبِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once supplicated, saying: O Allah! May I never encounter, and may you also never encounter, a time in which the people of knowledge are not followed, the forbearing are not respected, whose hearts are like those of non-Arabs and tongues like those of the Arabs.
