باب تَغَيُّرِ الزَّمَانِ وَمَا يَحْدُثُ فِيهِ:Chapter: Changing Times and What Occurs in Them
Hadith 194
أَخْبَرَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ سُهَيْلٍ مَوْلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: "لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ عَامٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْ الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَهُ، أَمَا إِنِّي لَسْتُ أَعْنِي عَامًا أَخْصَبَ مِنْ عَامٍ، وَلَا أَمِيرًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَمِيرٍ، وَلَكِنْ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ وَخِيَارُكُمْ وَفُقَهَاؤُكُمْ يَذْهَبُونَ، ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُونَ مِنْهُمْ خَلَفًا، وَيَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ يَقِيسُونَ الْأُمُورَ بِرَأْيِهِمْ".
It is narrated from Masruq that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The year that will come upon you will be worse than the previous year. I do not mean that one year will be more fertile and lush than the other, nor do I mean that one ruler will be better than the other. What I mean is that your scholars, the righteous and the jurists, will depart, and you will not find anyone to succeed them, and there will come people who will measure matters and affairs according to their own opinions.
