Chapter 37 · Trials and Fierce Battles (Kitab Al-Fitan Wa Al-Malahim)حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ بَدْرِ الْعِجْلِيِّ، عَنْ سُبَيْعِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَلِيفَةً فَاهْرُبْ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ فَإِنْ تَمُتْ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ، وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَمَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَتَجَ فَرَسًا لَمْ تُنْتَجْ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ.

If you do not find a caliph in those days, then flee away until you die, even of you die holding on (to a stump of a tree). I asked: What will come next ? He replied: If a man wants the mare to bring forth a foal, it will not deliver in till the Last Hour comes.
