It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the hardships that will occur at the time of the emergence of Dajjal. The people asked, "What will be the best wealth at that time?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A strong slave who can give his master water to drink; as for food, there will not be any." The people asked, "What will be the food of the Muslims at that time?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tasbeeh (glorifying Allah), Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar), Tahmeed (praising Allah), and Tahleel (declaring the oneness of Allah)." I asked, "Where will the Arabs be on that day?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "At that time, the Arabs will be very few."
