"سَيَبْلُغُ الْبِنَاءُ سَلَعًا، ثُم يأْتِي علَى الْمدِينَةِ زَمانٌ يمُرُّ السَّفْرُ علَى بعْضِ أَقْطَارِهَا، فَيقُولُ: قَدْ كانَتْ هَذِهِ مرَّةً عامِرةً؛ مِنْ طُولِ الزَّمانِ، وعَفْوِ الأَثَرِ".

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was coming out of one of his houses, dragging his garment, and saying, "People will acquire goods and then a time will come upon the city when travel will pass through some parts of it, and they will say, 'This was once a flourishing city in the past for a long time.'"
