Hadith 252
۞
12. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-kufl from al-‘ Abbas ibn ‘Amir from al-‘Arzami from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘A time will come upon people when kingdom can be achieved only by committing murders and tyranny. Wealth can only be achieved through usurpation and stinginess. Love and harmony can be established only by exclusion of religion and by following desires. Those living at such a time must exercise patience in poverty despite the accessability of wealth to them, be patient against the hatred of people toward them even though they can establish love and harmony. They must exercise patience in humiliation even though they can rise with respectable (position). To each one of such persons Allah will grant a reward equal to the reward for fifty truthful people of those who have acknowledged my message.’”
12ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لا يُنَالُ الْمُلْكُ فِيهِ إِلا بِالْقَتْلِ وَالتَّجَبُّرِ وَلا الْغِنَى إِلا بِالْغَصْبِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَلا الْمَحَبَّةُ إِلا بِاسْتِخْرَاجِ الدِّينِ وَاتِّبَاعِ الْهَوَى فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَصَبَرَ عَلَى الْفَقْرِ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْغِنَى وَصَبَرَ عَلَى الْبِغْضَةِ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَحَبَّةِ وَصَبَرَ عَلَى الذُّلِّ وَهُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْعِزِّ آتَاهُ الله ثَوَابَ خَمْسِينَ صِدِّيقاً مِمَّنْ صَدَّقَ بِي.
