Arabic (Original)
805/1049(صحيح)عن طارق(1)قال: كنا عند عبد الله جلوساً، فجاء آذنه[فقال](2): قد قامت الصلاة، فقام وقمنا معه فدخلنا المسجد، فرأى الناس ركوعاً في مقدم المسجد، فكبر وركع، ومشينا وفعلنا مثل ما فعل(3)، فمرّ رجل مسرع(4)فقال: عليكم السلام يا أبا عبد الرحمن! فقال: صدق الله، وبلغ رسوله، فلما صلينا رجع، فولج على أهله، وجلسنا في مكاننا ننتظره حتى يخرج، فقال بعضنا لبعض: أيكم يسأله؟ قال طارق: أنا أسأله، فسأله؟ فقال: عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" بين يدي الساعة: تسليم الخاصة، وفشوّ التجارة حتى تعين المرأة زوجها على التجارة، وقطع الأرحام، وفشوّ القلم(5)، وظهور الشهادة بالزور، وكتمان شهادة الحق".
English Translation
Tariq said: We were sitting with Abdullah [ibn Mas'ud] when his doorman came and said: 'The prayer has begun.' He stood and we stood with him and entered the mosque. He saw the people bowing at the front of the mosque, so he said the takbir and bowed, and we walked and did as he did. A man hurrying past said: 'Peace be upon you, O Abu Abd al-Rahman!' He said: 'Allah has spoken the truth, and His Messenger has conveyed [the message].' After the prayer, he returned and entered upon his family, and we sat in our place waiting for him to come out. Tariq said: I will ask him. I asked him, and he said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Among the signs of the Hour: greetings will be given only to acquaintances, trade will become widespread until a wife helps her husband in business, ties of kinship will be severed, the pen [writing] will become widespread, false testimony will appear, and true testimony will be concealed.'
