Arabic Text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ :" أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ، لَمْ يُقَدِّمْ وَلَمْ يُؤَخِّرْ، وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ إِذَا حَدَّثَ، قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ "

English Translation

Ibn Mas'ud said: 'How will it be when tribulations cover you, young and old growing up in it, and people take it as Sunnah? When any of it changes they say: "The Sunnah has been changed." It was said: "When will that be, O Abu Abd al-Rahman?" He said: "When your speakers are many and your scholars are few, when the wealthy among you are many and the trustworthy few, when worldly matters are sought through religious deeds."'
