[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, does Islam have an end?" He (the Prophet) said, "No, as long as there are people (meaning the people of the House of the Prophet)."

And in another place, he said, "Yes, whenever Allah intends good for the people of any Arab or non-Arab household, He guides them to Islam." The man asked, "What happens after that?" He (the Prophet) said, "Then there will be trials and tribulations like patches of darkness." The man asked, "Will there be a way out from them?" He (the Prophet) said, "Yes, by Allah, if Allah wills." The man asked, "Do they return to the same situation of discord?" He (the Prophet) said, "Yes, and I swear by the one who has my life in His hand, they will become even more divided amongst themselves."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ مُنْتَهَى؟ قَالَ أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ؟ وَقَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَوِ الْعُجْمِ أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهِمْ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَهْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ كَأَنَّهَا الظُّلَلُ قَالَ كَلَّا وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ قَالَ بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَعُودُونَ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ  

[Machine] An Arab man said: "O Messenger of Allah, does Islam have an end?" He (the Prophet) replied: "Yes, whoever from the Arab or non-Arab people that Allah desires good for, He will enter them into Islam." The Arab man asked: "And then what, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet replied: "Then tribulations will occur, like layers of darkness." The Arab man said: "No, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you will surely witness harshness among yourselves."  

أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ مُنْتَهَى؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَوِ الْعُجْمِ أَرَادَ اللهُ ﷻ بِهِمْ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَقَعُ فِتَنٌ كَأَنَّهَا الظُّلَلُ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ كَلَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْرِقَابَ بَعْضٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came to a Bedouin and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, does this matter have a limit?" He said, "Yes, whoever desires good for Allah with it, whether he is a non-Arab or Arab, Allah will enter him upon them. Then, trials will occur like layers of darkness, in which you will return to the darkness of spears, striking each other's necks. And the best people on that day are a believing Mu'tazilite in a mountain of mountains who fears his Lord, blessed and exalted, and keeps away from the people due to their evil."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ مُنْتَهَى؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَعْجَمٍ أَوْ عَرَبٍ أَدْخَلَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَقَعُ فِتَنٌ كَالظُّلَلِ تَعُودُونَ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ وَأَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُؤْمِنٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَتَّقِي رَبَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ
