[Machine] No day or time will come upon you, except that which follows it is worse than it, as I have heard it from your Prophet ﷺ.  

أحمد:١٢٨٣٨ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ نَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ الْحَجَّاجَ فَقَالَ

لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَوْمٌ أَوْ زَمَانٌ إِلَّا الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ

اصْبِرُوا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ إِلاَّ الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا رَبَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ
