Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ كُرْزِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ مُنْتَهَى قَالَ نَعَمْ أَيُّمَا أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ أَوْ الْعُجْمِ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِمْ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَقَعُ فِتَنٌ كَأَنَّهَا الظُّلَلُ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ كَلَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَعُودُنَّ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Ma'mar informed us from al-Zuhri, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Kurz ibn Alqamah al-Khuza'i, who said: A Bedouin said: O Messenger of God, does Islam have an end? He said: Yes, whatever household, of the Arabs or non-Arabs, God, Mighty and Sublime, intends good for, He brings Islam upon them. He said: Then what, O Messenger of God? He said: Then trials will occur, like patches of shade. The Bedouin said: No indeed, O Messenger of God! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes indeed, by the One in whose hand is my soul, you will surely return to them as black snakes rearing up, striking one another's necks.
