[Machine] "However, the world has announced its destruction, and its affairs have come to an end. Only a few drops remain, like the drops from a vessel poured by its owner. You are transient from it to a dwelling that is eternal, so move on with the best of what you have. It has been mentioned to us that a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell and it takes seventy years to reach its bottom. By Allah, you will surely be filled with wonder. It has been mentioned to us that the distance between two doors of Paradise is a journey of forty years, and it will be visited on a day that is as crowded as it is severe. I have witnessed, and I am one of the seven, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that we had no food but the leaves of trees, to the point that our lips were injured. I picked up a date pit and broke it between myself and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, the knight of Islam. I shared half of it, and not one of us remains alive today except that he has become a ruler in Egypt. I seek refuge in Allah from being arrogant within myself and insignificant in the sight of Allah. And indeed, Prophethood no longer exists, as it has been replaced until it becomes kingship or you will be tested or the leaders will be tested after us."

nasai-kubra:11790Sūwayd b. Naṣr > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Sulaymān b. al-Mughīrah > Ḥumayd b. Hilāl > Khālid b. ʿUmayr al-ʿAdawī > Khaṭabanā ʿUtbah b. Ghazwān Faḥamid Allāh And ʾAthná ʿAlayh Thum

'Utba b. Ghazwan delivered us a sermon and he praised Allah and lauded Him, then said: Now coming to the point, verily the world has been given the news of its end and that too quite early. Nothing would be left out of it but only water left in the utensil which its owner leaves, and you are going to shift to an abode which knows no end, and you should shift with the good before you, for we have been told that a stone would be thrown at one side of the Hell and it would go down even for seventy years but would not be able to reach its bottom. By Allah, it would be fully packed. Do you find it something strange, and it has been mentioned that there yawns a distance which one would be able to cover in forty years from one end to another of Paradise, and a day would come when it would be fully packed and you must be knowing that I was the seventh amongst seven who had been with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we had nothing to eat but the leaves of the tree until the corners of the mouth were injured. We found a sheet which we tore in two and divided between myself and Sa'd b. Malik. I made the lower garment with halt of it and so did Sa'd make the lower garment with half of it and today there is none amongst us who has not become the governor of a city from amongst the cities (of the Islamic Commonwealth) and I seek refuge with Allah that I should consider myself great whereas I am insignificant in the eye of Allah. Prophethood does not remain for ever and its impact fades with the result that it changes eventually into kingship, and you would soon come to know and experience those rulers who would come after us and see (how far they are from religion).

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٧٩٠عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ

«أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حِذَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَصْطَبُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَقِلُونَ مِنْهُ إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا لَا يُدْرِكُ لَهَا قَعْرًا وَاللهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّ فَعَجِبْتُمْ؟ وَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مَا بَيْنَ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَهُوَ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي سَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرِقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَالْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَاشْتَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَاتَّزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا وائتزرَ بِنِصْفِهَا فَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ حَيًّا إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى مِصْرٍ مِنْ الْأَمْصَارِ فَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللهِ صَغِيرًا وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مَلَكًا وَسَتُبْلَوْنَ أَوْ سَتُجَرِّبُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدِي»

الزهد لأحمد:٩٤٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ خَطَبَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ وَإِنَّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا صَبَابَةٌ كَصَبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَتَصَابُّهَا أَحَدُكُمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا مِنْهَا بِخَيْرِ مَا يَحْضُرُ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يَهْوَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَمَا يَبْلُغُ لَهَا قَعْرًا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّ أَفَعَجِبْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لِيَ أَنَّ مَا بَيِنَ مَصِرَاعَيِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَهُوَ كَظِيظُ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَأَنَا سَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ مِنْهُ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَلَقَدْ الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدٍ فَاتَّزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا وَاتَّزَرَ سَعْدٌ بِنِصْفِهَا فَمَا مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ حَيٌّ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرَ مِصْرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ فَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ عَظِيمًا فِي نَفْسِي صَغِيرًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ نُبُوَّةٌ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مُلْكًا وَسَتُبْلَوْنَ وَتُجَرِّبُونَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدَنَا
