When the verse was revealed, "Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute" [Zumar 39:31], Zubayr asked, "Messenger of Allah, along with our disputes in this world?"He replied, "Yes."And when the verse was revealed, "Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure" [Takathur 102:8], Zubayr asked, "Messenger of Allah, what pleasure will we be questioned about, when all we have are the two black things, dates and water?"He replied, "That will surely come to pass."
لما نزلت {ثم إنكم يوم القيمة عند ربكم تختصمون}[الزمر: ٣١] قال الزبير: أي رسول الله، مع خصومتنا في الدنيا؟ قال: نعم، و لما نزلت: {ثم لتسلن يوميذ عن النعيم} قال الزبير: أي رسول الله، أي نعيم نسأل عنه، وإنما يعني: هما الأسودان: التمر والماء؟ قال: أما إن ذلك سيكون.
Ahmad (1405), Tirmidhi (3356), and Ibn Majah (4158) all narrated it through Sufyan bin Uyayna, from Muhammad bin Amr bin Alqama, from Yahya bin Abdul-Rahman bin Hatib, from Abdullah bin Zubayr bin Awwam, from his father, and he mentioned it. The wording is Ahmad's, and the wording of the others is similar. Its chain is hasan because of Muhammad bin Amr bin Alqama, for he is hasan al-hadith. Tirmidhi also graded it hasan, saying, "This is a hasan hadith."Tirmidhi (3357) also narrated it from Abd bin Humayd, who said, Ahmad bin Yunus told us, from Abu Bakr bin Ayyash, from Muhammad bin Amr, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurairah, who said, when this verse was revealed, "Then on that day you will surely be asked about the pleasures" [Takathur 102:8], the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, about which pleasures will we be asked, when we have nothing but the two black things (dates and water), while the enemy is present and our swords are on our shoulders?" He said, "That will indeed come to be."Tirmidhi said, "The hadith of Ibn Uyayna from Muhammad bin Amr is, in my view, more sahih than this one. Sufyan bin Uyayna has better memory and is more sahih in his hadith than Abu Bakr bin Ayyash."It is as he said, for when Abu Bakr bin Ayyash grew old, his memory declined, so he began making mistakes in his hadith.His statement, "That will indeed come to be," contains a report about the abundance of wealth in the future, which has indeed come to pass.
