[Machine] "I heard a story a long time ago when I was among a group of twenty men or fewer or maybe more. I looked at their faces and didn't see a single person who was feared in God. So know that the matter has become lax."  

أحمد:١٧٦٧٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ قَالَ لَقَدْ

سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثًا مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ إِذَاكُنْتَ فِي قَوْمٍ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَتَصَفَّحْتَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ فَلَمْ تَرَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا يُهَابُ فِي اللهِ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ قَدْ رَقَّ

"عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْن بِشْر قَالَ: لَقَدْ سَمعْتُ حَدِيثًا مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، إذَا كُنْتَ في قَوْمٍ عِشْرينَ رَجُلا، أَوْ أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَتَصَفَّحْتَ في وجُوهِهِمْ فَلَمْ تَرَ فِيهمْ رَجُلًا يهَابُ فِى اللهِ، فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الأَمْرَ قَدْ رَقَّ".
