English narration
Narrated by ثوبان بن بجدد القرشي
Narrated Thawban: The Prophet ﷺ said: The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time? He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and last enervation into your hearts. Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah ﷺ: He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "
يُوشِكُ الْأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ : وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ قَالَ : بَلْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزَعَنَّ اللَّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهْنَ ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْوَهْنُ ؟ قَالَ : حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ
