English translation
2869. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The parable of my Ummah is that of a rain; it is not known if its beginning is better or its end." (Da'if) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ammār, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, and Ibn 'Umar. This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route. It has been related that 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Mahdī considered Ḥammād bin Yaḥyā Al-Abahh reliable, and that he would say: "He is among our Shaikh."
