English translation
4342. It was narrated from 'Umārah bin 'Amr, from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Al-Āṣ that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “How will you be at a time" – or "soon there will come a time" – "when people are sifted and the dregs of mankind will be left, who will break their promises and betray their trusts, and they will become mixed together[1] like this?" – and he interlaced his fingers. They said: "How should we be, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "Accept that which you approve of, and reject that which you disapprove of, tend to your own affairs and leave alone the affairs of the common folk." (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: This is how it has been related from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, from the Prophet ﷺ, through various routes of transmission.
