The Prophet ﷺ said, "A time will come upon people when they will be sifted thoroughly, and only the worst dregs will remain. Their covenants and trusts will have become corrupted, and they will fall into discord and become like this." He interlaced his fingers.They asked, "Messenger of Allah, what is the way out of that?"He replied, "You take what you recognize as good and leave what you find objectionable, attend to your own private affairs, and leave aside the affairs of the masses."
حدثنا حسين بن محمد حدثنا محمد بن مطرف عن أبي حازم
عن النبي ﷺ أنه قال يأتي على الناس زمان يغربلون فيه غربلة يبقى منهم حثالة قد مرجت عهودهم وأماناتهم واختلفوا فكانوا هكذا وشبك بين أصابعه قالوا يا رسول الله فما المخرج من ذلك قال تأخذون ما تعرفون وتدعون ما تنكرون وتقبلون على أمر خاصتكم وتدعون أمر عامتكم
Its isnad is sahih. Muhammad bin Mutarrif is Abu Ghassan Madani, whose reliability was established earlier at 6166. Abu Hazim is Aaraj Tammar, Salama bin Dinar, whose reliability was established earlier several times, including at 6702. This hadith is a repeat of 6987 with similar wording. We have already given a full account of its various transmission paths and its explanation at 6508, and we pointed to this there.
