English translation
3628. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما:Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in his fatal illness cameout, wrapped with a sheet, and his head waswrapped with an oiled bandage. He sat onthe pulpit, and after praising and glorifyingAllāh, he said, "Now then, people willincrease but the Anṣār will decrease innumber, so much so that they, comparedwith the people, will be just like the salt in the meals. So, if any of you should take over the authority by which he can either benefit some people or harm some others, he should accept the goodness of their good people (i.e., Anṣār) and excuse the faults of their wrongdoers." That was the last gathering which the Prophet ﷺ attended.
