We complained to Anas bin Malik about what we were suffering at the hands of Hajjaj.He said, "Be patient, for no year, or no day, will come upon you except that the one after it will be worse, until you meet your Lord. I heard this from your Prophet ﷺ."
حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي عن سفيان
شكونا إلى أنس بن مالك ما نلقى من الحجاج فقال اصبروا فإنه لا يأتي عليكم عام أو يوم إلا الذي بعده شر منه حتى تلقوا ربكم عز وجل سمعته من نبيكم ﷺ
Its isnad is sahih, and Zubayr bin Adi Yami is trustworthy. Bukhari related the hadith in 13/20 no. 7068, Fath al-Bari, in the Book of Fitnah, "No time will come except that what follows it is worse than it," and Tirmidhi in 4/492 no. 2206, in the Book of Fitnah, "What has been said about the signs of the Hour."
