[Machine] I went with my father in the delegation to Mu'awiyah, and I heard a man speaking to the people saying, "Indeed, one of the signs of the Hour is that the wicked will be elevated and the righteous will be humiliated, and actions and deeds will be hidden while words will be spoken, and the Quran will be recited in pairs among the people, among whom no one will change it or deny it." So it was asked, "What is meant by 'reciting in pairs'?" He said, "Reciting the Quran in a manner that it was not written, except in the book of Allah, the Almighty." So I narrated this hadith to a group of people among whom was Isma'il bin 'Ubaidullah, and he said, "I am with you in this assembly. Do you know who the man is?" I said, "No." He said, "It is Abdullah bin Umar."
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي فِي الْوَفْدِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ الْأَشْرَارُ وَتُوضَعَ الْأَخْيَارُ وَأَنْ يُخْزَنَ الْفِعْلُ وَالْعَمَلُ وَيَظْهَرَ الْقَوْلُ وَأَنْ يُقْرَأَ بِالْمُثَنَّاةِ فِي الْقَوْمِ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ مَنْ يُغَيِّرُهَا أَوْ يُنْكِرُهَا» فَقِيلَ وَمَا الْمُثَنَّاةُ؟ قَالَ «مَا اكْتُتِبَتْ سِوَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ» قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَوْمًا وَفِيهِمْ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا مَعَكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ تَدْرِي مَنِ الرَّجُلُ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو
