قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ لَا يُنَالُ الْمُلْكُ فِيهِ إِلَّا بِالْقَتْلِ وَ التَّجَبُّرِ وَ لَا الْغِنَى إِلَّا بِالْغَصْبِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ لَا الْمَحَبَّةُ إِلَّا بِاسْتِخْرَاجِ الدِّينِ وَ اتِّبَاعِ الْهَوَى فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَصَبَرَ عَلَى الْفَقْرِ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْغِنَى وَ صَبَرَ عَلَى الْبِغْضَةِ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَحَبَّةِ وَ صَبَرَ عَلَى الذُّلِّ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْعِزِّ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ خَمْسِينَ صِدِّيقاً مِمَّنْ صَدَّقَ بِي .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Al Arzamy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘There would be coming such a time period upon the people that they would not be attaining a kingdom except by the killing and the tyranny, nor (attaining) riches except by the usurpation and the stinginess, nor the love except by the removal of the Religion and following of the personal desires. So the one who comes across that time period, and he observes patience upon the poverty despite being able upon the riches, and observes patience upon the hatred despite being able upon the love, and observes patience upon the humiliation despite being able upon the honour, Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> would Give him the Rewards of fifty truthful ones from the ones who ratified me<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>’.
