"عَنْ عَبْد الله بْن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: الْزَمُوا هذِه الطَّاعَةَ وَالجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّهُ حَبْلُ الله الَّذى أَمَرَ بهِ وَإِنَّ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِى الْجَمَاعَة خَيْرٌ مما تُحِبُّونَ في الفُرْقَةِ، إِنَّ الله لَمْ يَخْلُقْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ مُنْتَهًى وَإنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ قَدْ تَمَّ، إِنَّهُ صَائِرٌ إِلَى نُقْصَانٍ وَإنَّ أَمَارَةَ ذلِكَ أَنْ تَنْقَطعَ الأَرْحَامُ وَيُؤْخَذَ المَالُ بغيْرِ حَقِّه وَتُسْفَكَ الدِّمَاءُ وَيَشْتَكى ذُو القَرَابَةِ قَرَابَتَهُ، لَا يَعُودُ عَلَيْه بِشَىْءٍ وَيَطُوفَ السَّائِلُ لَا يُوضَعُ في يَدِهِ شَئٌ فَبينما همُ كَذلِكَ إِذْ خَارَت الأَرْضُ خُوَارَ

البَقَرَةِ، يَحْسِبُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ أَنَّهَا خَارَتْ منْ قبَلِهِمْ، بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ كَذَلكَ، إِذْ قَذَفَت الأَرْضُ بافلاذ كَبِدهِا منْ الذَّهَب وَالفِضَّة لا نسع (*) بَعْد بنى منه ذَهَبٌ وَلَا فِضَّةٌ".

[Machine] "Adhere to this obedience and unity, for it is the rope of Allah which He has commanded. And know that what you dislike in the community is better than what you love in division. Indeed, Allah has not created anything without a purpose, and this religion has been perfected. It is heading towards decline, and the sign of that is when ties of kinship are cut, wealth is taken unlawfully, blood is shed, the one with close relatives complains about them, and their complaints are not heard. The one seeking help wanders between the two congregations, but nothing is given to him. While they were in this state, suddenly the cow's tail became limp, and people thought that it was a problem only they faced. But in reality, the earth threw out nuggets of gold and silver from its liver, but after that, gold and silver became useless."

[Machine] "O people, fear Allah and be obedient and united. Verily, they are the rope of Allah upon which He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike in obedience and unity is better than what you love in division. And Allah has not created anything in this world except that He has set a limit for it, which it will reach and then decrease until the Day of Resurrection. Surely, the firmness of Islam has been established, but it will soon diminish and disperse until the Day of Resurrection. And a sign of that is that you sever your family ties and spread discord so much so that the wealthy no longer fear poverty, and the poor no longer find anyone to be compassionate towards them. And even the beggar stands between the two congregational prayers and nothing is given to him. While the people are in this state, the earth will sink like the sinking of a cow. Each group will think that the sinking is only happening within their own area, then a return will come and the second sinking will be even more severe, like the destruction of their own livers." Then he was asked, what is the destruction of the liver? He said, "These bracelets made of gold and silver. From that day, gold and silver will be of no value until the Day of Resurrection. And no one will find anyone who accepts his charity."

[Machine] He said, "O people, upon you is obedience and unity, for indeed they are the rope of Allah which He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike in obedience and unity is better for you than what you like in division. And Allah has not created anything except that He has made an end for it to which it will return. And indeed, Islam has come with stability, and it is soon to reach its end, then it will turn back and diminish until the Day of Resurrection. And the sign of that is the increase of disputes and the cutting off of family relations, to the point that the poor person cannot find someone to help him, and the wealthy person realizes that what he possesses is not enough for him. And to the extent that a man complains to his brother and cousin, but none of them gives him anything. And to the extent that the beggar walks between the congregations with nothing in his hand, until the ground beneath them becomes barren, and the people of every land can see that it has become barren in their land. Then it will calm down for them as Allah wills, then the earth will suddenly vomit out its treasures." It was said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, what are the treasures that the earth will vomit out?" He replied, "Barrels of gold and silver. So from that day onwards, gold and silver will not be of any benefit until the Day of Resurrection."

[Machine] "Stick to this group, as it is the rope of Allah that He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike about the group is better than what you like about separation. Indeed, Allah has never created anything without setting boundaries for it. And indeed, this religion has been completed and it is heading towards decline. And the signs of that include severing family ties, unjustly taking people's wealth, shedding blood, and a person complaining to his relatives without receiving any assistance. And the beggar goes around between the two congregational prayers with nothing placed in his hand. While they were in this state, the earth sank like the sinking of a dead cow when it throws forward its liver. So there is no benefit in gold or silver after that."
