[Machine] Hisham ibn 'Amir used to see men going to Imran ibn Husayn and others among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So he said, "You are going to men who did not attend the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as much as I did, nor do they claim to have heard his words as much as I did. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Between the creation of Adam and the coming of the Hour, there will be a tribulation greater than the tribulation of the Antichrist.'"  

كَانَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ يَرَى رِجَالًا يَتَخَطُّونَهُ إِلَى عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَإِلَى غَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَتَخَطُّونَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أَحْضَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنِّي وَلَا أَدْعَى لِحَدِيثِهِ مِنِّي وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا بَيْنَ خَلْقِ آدَمَ إِلَى أَنَّ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ فِتْنَةٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ»
