حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا فَشَا أَرْبَعَةٌ ظَهَرَتْ أَرْبَعَةٌ إِذَا فَشَا الزِّنَا ظَهَرَتِ الزَّلْزَلَةُ وَ إِذَا فَشَا الْجَوْرُ فِي الْحُكْمِ احْتُبِسَ الْقَطْرُ وَ إِذَا خُفِرَتِ الذِّمَّةُ أُدِيلَ لِأَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِذَا مُنِعَتِ الزَّكَاةُ ظَهَرَتِ الْحَاجَةُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, or one of his companions, from Ayoub, from Safwan Bin Yahya who said, ‘One of our companions narrated to me saying, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When four (things) become prevalent, four (things) would appear. When the adultery is prevalent the earthquakes would appear, and when the tyranny is prevalent in the judgments, the drops (of rain) would be Withheld, and when the non-Muslim taxpayers (Zimmy) are unprotected, the people of Polytheism would be more just than the people of Al-Islam, and when the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> is prevented, the need would appear’.
