[Machine] I used to be the most respected person in the city, and I would meet people from the companions of the Messenger of Allah. The one I loved to meet the most was Ubay ibn Ka'b. One day, I arrived in Medina during the time of Fajr prayer. 'Umar went out along with some men, and there was a man from the tribe watching the faces of the people. He recognized them and denied recognizing me, so he pushed me away and took my place. I performed my prayer, but I could not concentrate. After he finished his prayer, he said, "O my son, may Allah not harm you! I did not do what I did out of ignorance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, 'Be in the row that follows me.' When I saw the people's faces, I recognized them except for you." Then he sat down, and I saw that no one turned their heads towards anything except for him. It was Ubay ibn Ka'b, and what he said was, "The people of the written contract have perished, by the Lord of the Ka'bah, the people of the written contract have perished." By Allah, I wasn't worried for them, but I was worried for those who destroyed them from among the Muslims.

[Machine] "I came to the city to meet the companions of Muhammad ﷺ, and there was no person among them whom I loved more than Ubay. So, the prayer was established and Umar came out with the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I stood in the first row, and a man came and looked at the faces of the people, recognizing them except me. He gestured to me and stood in my place. I couldn't understand what happened to my prayer. When he finished praying, he said, 'O my son, may Allah not make you upset. I did not take the place that I took from you out of ignorance, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed us to be in the row that is adjacent to him. I looked at the faces of the people and recognized them except for you.' Then he spoke, and I didn't see men bending their necks towards anything as they were towards him. He said, 'The people of Al-'Uqdah have been destroyed, by the Lord of Al-Ka'bah, may they have no distress. But distress is upon those Muslims who will be destroyed.' And he was Ubay, and the narration is from Sulaiman bin Dawood."
