English Translation
It was narrated from Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: 'What I fear most for my community is the misguiding imams. And when the sword is set down among my community, it will never be lifted from it until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not be established until communities of my community join the polytheists, and until communities of my community worship idols. And there will certainly be in my community thirty great liars, each claiming to be a prophet — while I am the Seal of the Prophets; there is no prophet after me. A group from my community will always remain on the truth, manifest — those who oppose them will not harm them — until Allah's decree comes.'
