[Machine] I was narrated to by 'Adi ibn Hatim, while he was by my side in Kufa. So I approached him and said, "I heard a narrative about you, so tell me about it." He said, "When the Prophet ﷺ was sent, I detested him more than anything I ever detested. Then I traveled to the farthest lands of the Arabs, and I detested him even more. Then I traveled to the land of the Romans, and I despised him even more. So I said to myself, 'I will go to this man and if he is truthful, I will listen to him. But if he is a liar, then it won't harm me.' So I went to him and asked him. He said, 'You are asking about a matter that is not permissible for you in your religion.'"
Then it was as if I perceived hesitation from him, so he said, "O 'Adi ibn Hatim, embrace Islam, you will be safe." He repeated this twice. Then he said, "It seems to me, or maybe I suspect, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Perhaps what prevents you from accepting Islam is that you see the people around us, who are high-ranking individuals.' Then he said, 'Have you seen al-Hirah?' I said, 'No, but I am aware of its location.' He said, 'It is likely that al-Zuayna will move from al-Hirah to another place without being besieged, and it will encompass the Kaaba. And the treasures of Kisra will be opened for us. I said, 'Kisra, the son of Hurmuz?' He said, 'Yes, Kisra, the son of Hurmuz. And soon, a person will not find anything of his own wealth to give as charity.'" He also said, "I saw al-Zuayna move, and I swear that the second promise will be fulfilled, as stated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it is the truth."
عَنْ حَدِيثِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَهُوَ إِلَى جَنْبِي بِالْكُوفَةِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْكَ فَحَدِّثْنِي بِهِ قَالَ لَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَرِهْتُهُ أَشَدَّ مَا كَرِهْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ فَأَتَيْتُ أَقْصَى أَرْضِ الْعَرَبِ فَكَرِهْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ أَرْضَ الرُّومِ وَكُنْتُ أَكْرَهُهُ مِنْ كَرَاهَتِي لِمَا قَبْلُ أَوْ أَشَدَّ فَقُلْتُ لَآتِيَنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا فَلَأَسْمَعَنَّ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَمَا هُوَ بِضَارِّيِّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكَ لَتَسْأَلُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِي دِينِكَ» فَكَأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ لَهُ عَلَى غَضَاضَةٍ فَقَالَ «يَا عَدِيُّ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ أَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ» مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ قَدْ أُرَانِي أَوْ قَدْ أَظُنُّ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلَعَلَّكَ إِنَّمَا يَمْنَعُكَ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَنَّكَ تَرَى مِنْ حَوْلِي خَصَاصَةً إِنَّكَ تَرَى النَّاسَ عَلَيْنَا أَلَبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْحِيرَةَ؟» قُلْتُ لَمْ أَرَهَا وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ مَكَانَهَا قَالَ «فَلَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنَّ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْحَلُ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ بِغَيْرِ جِوَارٍ حَتَّى تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَلَيُفْتَحَنَّ عَلَيْنَا كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى» قُلْتُ كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ قَالَ «كِسْرَى بْنِ هُرْمُزَ وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ لَا يَجِدَ الرَّجُلُ مَالَهُ صَدَقَةً» وَقَالَ «فَرَأَيْتُ الظَّعِينَةَ تَرْحَلُ وَأَحْلِفُ لَيُفْتَحَنَّ الثَّانِيَةَ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ»
