حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَثِيرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ الْخَمْرُ مِنْ هَاتَيْنِ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ مِنْ النَّخْلَةِ وَالْعِنَبَةِ
English Translation
Affan narrated to us, he said Aban al-Attar narrated to us, he said Yahya ibn Abi Kathir narrated to us, he said Abu Kathir al-Anbari narrated to us, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'How will you be when you cannot collect a dinar or a dirham?' They said: 'How do you see that happening, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it will certainly come.' They said: 'When will that be?' He said: 'When the sanctities of Islam are violated, and when the trusts are wasted, and when it becomes like this' — and he intertwined his fingers. They said: 'What should we do then, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Take what you know and leave what you condemn. Focus on your own affairs and leave the affairs of the common people.'
