عُمَرُ بْنُ الْحَكِيمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "How will it be for you when a time comes where people are sifted like sifters, and you will remain in the rubbish of people, their covenants have been violated, and they have abandoned their trusts and returned like this?" And he put his fingers together and said, "What should we do, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You should take what you know and reject what you deny, and rely on your distinguished ones and leave your common people."  

الطبراني:١٣٦٦٠حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ جُمْهُورٍ السِّمْسَارُ التِّنِّيسِيُّ قَالَ ثنا دُحَيْمٌ قَالَ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا جَاءَ زَمَانٌ يُغَرْبَلُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ غَرْبَلَةً وَبَقِيتُمْ فِي حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَضَيَّعُوا أَمَانَاتِهِمْ فَعَادُوا هَكَذَا» وَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ بَعْضَهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «تَأْخُذُونَ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ وَتَدَعُونَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِخَوَاصِّكُمْ وَدَعُوا عَوَامَّكُمْ»

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.

“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.”
