English translation

2525. It was reported from the paternal nephew of Abū Ayyūb, from Abū Ayyūb, that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "The lands will be conquered by you, and you will be groups of armies, levied for deployments. A man will be unwilling to take part in the deployment, so he will escape from his people. Then he will go around offering himself to various tribes (for wages), saying: 'Who will hire me to take his place in such and such expedition? Who will hire me to take his place in such and such expedition?' Lo! He is a hireling until the last drop of his blood." (Da'if)

2525 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمَعْنَى، - وَأَنَا لِحَدِيثِهِ أَتْقَنُ - عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمْصَارُ، وَسَتَكُونُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ، تُقْطَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيهَا بُعُوثٌ فَيَكْرَهُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الْبَعْثَ فِيهَا، فَيَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَصَفَّحُ الْقَبَائِلَ، يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، يَقُولُ: مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا، مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا؟ أَلَا وَذَلِكَ الْأَجِيرُ إِلَى آخِرِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ "
