[Machine] "You are in a time where the preachers are many and the scholars are few, they prolong the prayer and shorten the sermon. And there will come a time when the preachers are few and the scholars are many, they will prolong the sermon and delay the prayer until it is said, 'This is the noontime of the dead.' I said to him, 'What is the noontime of the dead?' He said, 'When the sun turns intensely yellow. So whoever among you reaches that time, let them pray the prayer at its proper time. If they are held back, let them pray with them, and let their obligatory prayer be performed individually, and their prayer with them be voluntary.'"

«إِنَّكُمْ فِي زَمَانٍ قَلِيلٌ خُطَبَاؤُهُ كَثِيرٌ عُلَمَاؤُهُ يُطِيلُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيَقْصُرُونَ الْخُطْبَةَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ كَثِيرٌ خُطَبَاؤُهُ قَلِيلٌ عُلَمَاؤُهُ يُطِيلُونَ الْخُطْبَةَ وَيُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ هَذَا شَرْقُ الْمَوْتَى» قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا شَرْقُ الْمَوْتَى؟ قَالَ «إِذَا اصْفَرَّتِ الشَّمْسُ جِدًّا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنِ احْتَبَسَ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلْيَجْعَلْ صَلَاتَهُ وَحْدَهُ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَصَلَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا»

[Machine] "In your time, prayers are long and sermons are short. The scholars are many, but the preachers are few. There will come a time when prayers will be short and sermons will be long. The preachers will be many, but the scholars will be few. They will delay the evening prayer until the time of the deceased. So, whoever among you experiences this, let him pray the prayer at its appointed time and make it voluntary with them. Indeed, you are in a time when a man is envied for his abundance of wealth and children. There will come a time when a man is envied for his few children and his light luggage. I do not leave behind any affliction for my family that is dearer to me than them. Indeed, I love them as they love your families."

"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ في زَمَانٍ قَلِيلٍ خُطبَاؤهُ، كَثيرٌ عُلَمَاؤهُ يُطيلُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيَقْصرونَ الخُطْبَةَ، وَإِنَّهُ سَيْأتِىَ عَلَيْكُمْ زمَانٌ كثير خُطباؤُه قَلِيل عُلَمَاؤُه، يُطيلُونَ الخُطْبَةَ وَيُؤَخِّرونَ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ: هَذَا شَرَفُ الْمَوْتَى، قِيلَ: وَمَا شَرَفُ الْمَوْتَى، قَالَ: إِذَا اِصْفَرَّت الشَّمْسُ جدًا، فَمَنْ أَدْركَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَصَل الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا، فَإِنْ احْتَبَسَ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلْيَجْعَلْ صَلَاتَهُ وَحْدَهُ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَصَلَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا".
