609/789- (حسن)عن ابن مسعود قال: " إنكم في زمان: كثير فقهاؤه، قليل خطباؤه، قليل سؤاله، كثير معطوه، العمل فيه قائد للهوى. وسيأتي من بعدكم زمان: قليل فقهاؤه، كثير خطباؤه، كثير سؤاله، قليل معطوه، الهوى فيه قائد للعمل، اعلموا أن حسن الهدي – في آخر الزمان- خيرٌ من بعض العمل"(1).
609/789- (Hasan) From Ibn Mas'ud who said: "You are in a time when its jurists are many, its preachers are few, its questioners are few, and its givers are many; in it, action leads desire. And there will come after you a time when its jurists are few, its preachers are many, its questioners are many, and its givers are few; in it, desire leads action. Know that good guidance—in the end of times—is better than some deeds."(1).
