"كَيفَ بِكُم بِزَمَانٍ يُوشِكُ أنْ يَأتِيَ، يُغَربلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ غَرْبَلَةً، وَيَبْقَى حُثَالةٌ منَ الناسِ قَد مَرَجَت عُهُودُهُمْ وأمَانَاتهُمْ واخْتَلَفُوا وكَانوا هَكَذا؟ وَشَبَّكَ بَينَ أصَابعه، قالوا: كيفَ بِنَا يَا رسولَ الله إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَال: تَأخْذُونَ بِمَا تَغرفْون، وَتدَعُونَ مَا تُنكرُونَ وَتُقبِلُونَ عَلَى أمرِ خَاصَّتِكُمْ، وَتَذَرُونَ أمر عَامَّتِكُمْ".

The Prophet ﷺ said: How will you do when that time will come? Or he said: A time will soon come when the people are sifted and only dregs of mankind survive and their covenants and guarantees have been impaired and they have disagreed among themselves and become thus, interwining his fingers. They asked: What do you order us to do, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Accept what you approve, abandon what you disapprove, attend to your own affairs and leave alone the affairs of the generality. Abu dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by 'Abd Allah bin 'Amr from the Prophet ﷺ through different chain.  

أبو داود:٤٣٤٢حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

“How will you be at a time that will soon come, when the good people will pass away and only the worst ones will be left, who will break their promises and betray their trusts, and they will differ while they were previously together like this,” – and he interlaced his fingers. They said: “What should we do, O Messenger of Allah, when that comes to pass?” He said: “Follow that which you know is true, and leave that which you dislike. Take care of your own affairs and turn away from the common folk.”

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , that he said: A time will come upon people where they will go through a period of tribulation, in which only the refuse of them will remain. Their promises and trusts will be violated, and they will differ among themselves. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the way out from this?" He said, "You shall hold onto what you know and renounce what you deny. You shall concern yourselves with your own affairs and leave the affairs of the public."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌيُغَرْبَلُونَ فِيهِ غَرْبَلَةً يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ حُثَالَةٌ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فَكَانُوا هَكَذَا وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا الْمَخْرَجُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ تَأْخُذُونَ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ وَتَدَعُونَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ وَتُقْبِلُونَ عَلَى أَمْرِ خَاصَّتِكُمْ وَتَدَعُونَ أَمْرَ عَامَّتِكُمْ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people will soon be sifted like barley, and only the refuse will remain from among the people, as their covenants and trusts have been violated. They will say, 'So how should we act, O Messenger of Allah, in such a situation?' He replied, 'You should hold on to what you know and reject what you deny, and you should act according to your own circumstances and call upon your own people.' Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated this with a chain of transmission whose meaning is the same, except that he said, 'And only the refuse will remain from among the people, and you will call upon the affairs of your people.'"
