While I was in the city of the Prophet, a man came and complained to him (the Prophet, ) of destitution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The Prophet said, "Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?" I said, "I haven't been to it, but I was informed about it." He said, "If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Kaʿba, fearing none but Allah." I said to myself, "What will happen to the robbers of the tribe of Tai who have spread evil through out the country?" The Prophet ﷺ further said. "If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau will be opened (and taken as spoils)." I asked, "You mean Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?" He said, "Khosrau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see that one will carry a handful of gold or silver and go out looking for a person to accept it from him, but will find none to accept it from him. And any of you, when meeting Allah, will meet Him without needing an interpreter between him and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: 'Didn't I send a messenger to teach you?' He will say: 'Yes.' Allah will say: 'Didn't I give you wealth and do you favors?' He will say: 'Yes.' Then he will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing but Hell." ʿAdi further said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word." ʿAdi added: (later on) I saw a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf of the Kaʿba, fearing none but Allah. And I was one of those who opened (conquered) the treasures of Khosrau, son of Hurmuz. If you should live long, you will see what the Prophet ﷺ Abu-l-Qasim had said: 'A person will come out with a handful. of gold...etc.  

بَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْفَاقَةَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ آخَرُ فَشَكَا قَطْعَ السَّبِيلِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدِيُّ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْحِيرَةَ قُلْتُ لَمْ أَرَهَا وَقَدْ أُنْبِئْتُ عَنْهَا قَالَ فَإِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَيَنَّ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْتَحِلُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ لاَ تَخَافُ أَحَدًا إِلاَّ اللَّهَ قُلْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِي فَأَيْنَ دُعَّارُ طَيِّئٍ الَّذِينَ قَدْ سَعَّرُوا الْبِلاَدَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتُفْتَحَنَّ كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى قُلْتُ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَيَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُخْرِجُ مِلْءَ كَفِّهِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ يَطْلُبُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُهُ مِنْهُ فَلاَ يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهُ مِنْهُ وَلَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَاهُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ تُرْجُمَانٌ يُتَرْجِمُ لَهُ فَيَقُولَنَّ أَلَمْ أَبْعَثْ إِلَيْكَ رَسُولاً فَيُبَلِّغَكَ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَقُولُ أَلَمْ أُعْطِكَ مَالاً وَأُفْضِلْ عَلَيْكَ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى فَيَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلاَ يَرَى إِلاَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَيَنْظُرُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلاَ يَرَى إِلاَّ جَهَنَّمَ قَالَ عَدِيٌّ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقَّةِ تَمْرَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ شِقَّةَ تَمْرَةٍ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ قَالَ عَدِيٌّ فَرَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْتَحِلُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ لاَ تَخَافُ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ وَكُنْتُ فِيمَنِ افْتَتَحَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَلَئِنْ طَالَتْ بِكُمْ حَيَاةٌ لَتَرَوُنَّ مَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يُخْرِجُ مِلْءَ كَفِّهِ  

[Machine] Yes, when I heard that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had left, I disliked his departure intensely. I left until I reached the vicinity of Rome and he (the Messenger) said (referring to me): "Yazid is in Baghdad until I visited Qaisar (Caesar). I disliked my position more than my dislike for his departure." He said (to me): "So I said, "By Allah, if I did not come to this man, if he is lying, he would not harm me, and if he is truthful, I would know." He said (to me): "So I came and visited him. When I approached, people said, "Adi ibn Hatim!" Adi ibn Hatim!" I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me: "O Adi ibn Hatim, accept Islam and you will be saved." I said, "Indeed, I am upon a religion." He said, "I know better about your religion than you." So I said, "Do you know more about my religion than me?" He said, "Yes, are you not from the Rukusiyah (Christian sect) while your people eat carrion?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, this is not lawful for you in your religion." He said (Adi ibn Hatim): "I did not return any statement to this." He said (the Prophet, ﷺ ): "Indeed, I know what is preventing you from Islam. You say, 'I only follow the weak among the people and those who have no power.' And the Arabs have forsaken them. Do you recognize 'Hayrah' (indecision)?" I said, "I have not seen it, but I have heard about it." He said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Allah will bring this matter to completion until the 'Tha'irah' (confusion) leaves 'Hayrah' (indecision). So that she will circumambulate the Ka'bah without anyone's proximity. And Khosrau ibn Hormoz's treasures will be opened and spent until no one accepts them." Adi ibn Hatim said, "Khosrau ibn Hormoz?" He (the Prophet, ﷺ ) said, "Yes, Khosrau ibn Hormoz. And wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it." Adi ibn Hatim said, "So, this 'Tha'irah' (confusion) will leave 'Hayrah' (indecision) so that she will circumambulate the Ka'bah without anyone's proximity. Verily, I was among those who opened Khosrau ibn Hormoz's treasures. By the One in whose hand is my soul! You will be the third, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said this."
