يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ مَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ عَاشَ وَ مَنْ سَكَتَ مَاتَ قُلْتُ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ قَالَ تُعِينُهُمْ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَتُجَاهِدُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Sufyan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There would come a time period upon the people, the one who asks the people would live and the one who remains silent would die’. I said, ‘So what should I do if I were to see that time period?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Assist them (the poor) with what is with you. But if you do not find (them), then strive (for it)’.
