[Machine] I entered the mosque and found an elderly man sitting and spitting. I greeted him and he returned the greeting. I sat next to him and asked, "Who are you, uncle?" He replied, "No, who are you, my nephew?" I said, "I am Ma'bad bin Khalid." He said, "Welcome, I know your father. He was with me in Damascus. Both your father and I were the first two Persians who stood at the gate of 'Azzah in Sham (Damascus)." I asked, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Abu Sariha Al-Ghifari, a companion of the Prophet ﷺ ." I then asked him to tell me about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Two adorned men will be raised as the last of the people to be brought forth. They will be received by a mountain that has surrounded them until they approach the signs of people. They will find the land inhabited by wild animals. When they reach the nearest town, they will ask, 'Where are the people?' They will not see anyone, so they will say to each other, 'The people are in their homes.' They will enter the homes but find no one in them except for foxes and rodents. They will ask again, 'Where are the people?' They will be told, 'The people are in the mosque.' They will go to the mosque but find no one there. They will ask again, 'Where are the people?' They will be told, 'The people are in the markets. They are preoccupied with their transactions.' They will go to the markets but find no one there. They will continue until they reach a valley where two angels will be waiting for them. The angels will grab them by their legs and drag them to the gathering place, which will be the final assembly of people.'"
