ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ وَصْفِ الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ مَا وَصَفْنَا مِنْ سَعَةِ الْأَمْوَالِ

"We were in the company of Jabir b. 'Abdullah that he said it may happen that the people of Iraq may not send their qafiz and dirhams (their measures of food stuff and their money). We said: Who would be responsible for it? He said: The non-Arabs would prevent them. He again said: There is the possibility that the people of Syria may not send their dinars and mudds. We said: Who would be responsible for it? He said this prevention would be made by the Romans. He (Jabir b. Abdullah) kept quiet for a while and then reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ having said there would be a caliph in the last (period) of my Ummah who would freely give handfuls of wealth to the people without counting it. I said to Abu Nadra and Abu al-'Ala: Do you mean 'Umar b. 'Abd al-Aziz? They said: No (he would be Imam Mahdi).  

أَنْ لاَ يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ قَفِيزٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجَمِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكَ أَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ أَنْ لاَ يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ مُدْىٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لاَ يَعُدُّهُ عَدَدًا قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي نَضْرَةَ وَأَبِي الْعَلاَءِ أَتَرَيَانِ أَنَّهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَالاَ لاَ

أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ قَفِيزٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجْمِ يُمْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا مُدِّيٌّ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ يُمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثُو الْمَالَ حَثْوًا لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا قَالَ الْجُرَيْرِيُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي نَضْرَةَ وَأَبِي الْعَلَاءِ أَتَرَيَانِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ؟ فَقَالَا لَا  

[Machine] "They said, 'Why is that, O Abu Abdullah?' He replied, 'Because they deny it from the Arabs.' Then he was silent for a moment, then he said, 'The people of Sham will soon not accept dirham or qafiz from us.' They asked, 'Why is that?' He replied, 'Because they prevent that from the Romans.' Then he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There will be a caliph in my Ummah who will collect wealth excessively without counting it.' Gold then kept silent about it in the summary."  

أَنْ لَا يَجِيءَ إِلَيْهِمْ دِرْهَمٌ وَلَا قَفِيزٌ قَالُوا مِمَّ ذَاكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجَمِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ أَنْ لَا يَجِيءَ إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا مُدٌّ قَالُوا مِمَّ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ يَمْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثِي الْمَالَ حَثْيًا لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
