The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us two narrations. I have witnessed one of them come to pass, and I am awaiting the other.He told us that trustworthiness was sent down into the depths of men's hearts, then the Quran was revealed and they learned from the Quran and learned from the Sunnah.Then he told us about the removal of trustworthiness, saying, "A man sleeps a sleep, and trustworthiness is taken from his heart, leaving behind a mark like a faint spot. Then he sleeps another sleep, and trustworthiness is taken from his heart, leaving a mark like a blister, like an ember you roll onto your foot, which swells up though there is nothing inside it."Then he took a pebble and rolled it across his foot. He said, "Then people will rise in the morning conducting transactions, but hardly anyone will fulfill his trust, until it will be said, 'Among the tribe of so-and-so there is a trustworthy man.' And it will be said of a man, 'How resolute he is, how refined, how intelligent,' though there is not a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart.There was a time when I did not care which of you I dealt with, for if he was a Muslim, his religion would compel him to deal honestly with me, and if he was a Christian or a Jew, his overseer would ensure he dealt honestly with me. But today, I would not deal with any of you except so-and-so and so-and-so."
حدثنا أبو معاوية حدثنا الأعمش عن زيد بن وهب
حدثنا رسول الله ﷺ حديثين قد رأيت أحدهما وأنا أنتظر الآخر حدثنا أن الأمانة نزلت في جذر قلوب الرجال ثم نزل القرآن فعلموا من القرآن وعلموا من السنة ثم حدثنا عن رفع الأمانة فقال ينام الرجل النومة فتقبض الأمانة من قلبه فيظل أثرها مثل أثر الوكت فتقبض الأمانة من قلبه فيظل أثرها مثل أثر المجل كجمر دحرجته على رجلك تراه منتبرا وليس فيه شيء قال ثم أخذ حصى فدحرجه على رجله قال فيصبح الناس يتبايعون لا يكاد أحد يؤدي الأمانة حتى يقال إن في بني فلان رجلا أمينا حتى يقال للرجل ما أجلده وأظرفه وأعقله وما في قلبه حبة من خردل من إيمان ولقد أتى علي زمان وما أبالي أيكم بايعت لئن كان مسلما ليردنه علي دينه ولئن كان نصرانيا أو يهوديا ليردنه علي ساعيه فأما اليوم فما كنت لأبايع منكم إلا فلانا وفلانا
