[Machine] Narrated Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Soon the nations will gather and call one another against you, just as diners do when calling one another to share their food. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will it be because of our small number on that day?" He said, "No, rather you will be numerous that day, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the surface of floodwaters. Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will place Wahn in your hearts." They asked, "What is Wahn O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "The love of life and the hatred of death."  

أحمد:٢٢٣٩٧حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْزُوقٌ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحِمْصِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيُّ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمُ الْأُمَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُفُقٍ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ عَلَى قَصْعَتِهَا قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ بِنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنْ تَكُونُونَ غُثَاءً كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ تُنْتَزَعُ الْمَهَابَةُ مِنْ قُلُوبِ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَيَجْعَلُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهْنَ قَالَ قُلْنَا وَمَا الْوَهْنُ؟ قَالَ حُبُّ الْحَيَاةِ وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ

The Prophet ﷺ said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah ﷺ: He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death.
