Hadith 24944

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ذَكَرَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الدَّجَّالِ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَيْنَ الْعَرَبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ قَالَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ ، الْعَرَبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَلِيلٌ " ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا يُجْزِئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ ؟ قَالَ : " مَا يُجْزِئُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّحْمِيدُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ " . قُلْتُ : فَأَيُّ الْمَالِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ ؟ قَالَ : " غُلَامٌ شَدِيدٌ يَسْقِي أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ، وَأَمَّا الطَّعَامُ ، فَلَا طَعَامَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned the hardships that would occur at the time of the emergence of Dajjal. So I asked, "What will be the best wealth at that time?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "A strong slave who can give his master water to drink; as for food, there will not be any." I asked, "What will be the food of the Muslims at that time?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Glorification (tasbih), magnification (takbir), praise (tahmid), and declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlil)." I asked, "Where will the Arabs be on that day?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "At that time, the Arabs will be very few."
