[4957] 176 - (1924) 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Shumâsah Al-Mahrî said: "I was with Maslamah bin Mukhallad, and 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Âs was also with him. 'Abdullâh said: 'The Hour will not come except upon the worst of people, who are worse than the people of the Jâhiliyyah. They will not ask Allâh for anything but He will refuse their request.' While they were like that, 'Uqbah bin 'Âmir came, and Maslamah said to him: 'O 'Uqbah, listen to what 'Abdullâh is saying.' He said: 'He knows best; as for me, I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "A group of my Ummah will continue to fight to establish the command of Allâh, continuing to defeat their enemies and not being harmed by those who oppose them until the Hour comes upon them when they are like that.” ‘Abdullâh said: ‘Yes, then Allâh will send a wind like the fragrance of musk and with a touch like that of silk, and it will not leave any soul in whose heart is a grain of faith, but it will take it. Then the worst of people will be left, upon whom the Hour will come.’”
