12. It was narrated from Miqdâm bin Ma'dikarib Al-Kindi that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Soon there will come a time that a man will be reclining on his pillow, and when one of my Ahadith is
narrated, he will say: 'The Book of Allāh is (sufficient) between us and you. Whatever it states is permissible, we will take as permissible; and whatever it states is forbidden, we will take as forbidden.' Verily, whatever the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has forbidden is like that which Allāh has forbidden." (Hasan)
