"لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْمَعْرِفَةِ، وَحَتَّى تُتَّخَذَ الْمَسَاجدُ طُرُقًا، فَلا يُسْجَد لله فِيهَا، وَحَتَّى يَبْعَثَ الْغَلامُ الشَّيْخَ بَرِيدًا بَيْنَ الأُفُقَينِ، وَحَتَّى يَبْلُغَ التَّاجِرُ بَيْنَ الأفُقَينِ فَلاَ يجد رِبْحًا".
[Machine] Peace be upon you, O Abu Abdur-Rahman. He laughed and said, "May Allah and His Messenger speak the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The Hour will not come until there is peace upon knowledge. And indeed, this has recognized me among you, so it greeted me. And until the mosques become thoroughfares, meaning that nobody will prostrate to Allah in them. And until a young man is sent as a mail carrier between the two horizons. And until a merchant can't find any profit between the two horizons."
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَضَحِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَإِنَّ هَذَا عَرَفَنِي مِنْ بَيْنِكُمْ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ وَحَتَّى تُتَّخَذَ الْمَسَاجِدُ طُرُقًا فَلَا يُسْجَدُ لِلَّهِ فِيهَا وَحَتَّى يَبْعَثَ الْغُلَامُ الشَّيْخَ بَرِيدًا بَيْنَ الْأُفُقَيْنِ وَحَتَّى يَبْلُغَ التَّاجِرُ بَيْنَ الْأُفُقَيْنِ فَلَا يَجِدُ رِبْحًا»
