Abdullah bin Yazid al-Khatmi was invited to a meal. When he arrived and saw the house draped with curtains, he sat outside and wept.They asked, "What makes you weep?"He replied, "Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw off an army and reached the pass of farewell, he would say, 'I entrust to Allah your religion, your trust, and the final outcomes of your deeds.' One day he saw a man who had patched his cloak with a piece of fur. He turned to face the rising sun and gestured with his hand," — Hammad demonstrated by extending his hand with palms upward — "and said, 'The world has loomed over you, the world has loomed over you,' meaning, it has advanced upon us until we thought it would fall upon us. Then he said, 'Are you better today, or when one large bowl of food comes to you in the morning and another in the evening, when one of you goes out in one fine garment and returns in another, and your houses are draped with coverings just as the Kaabah is draped?'"
دعي عبد الله بن يزيد الخطمي إلى طعام، فلما جاء رأى البيت منجدا، فقعد خارجا وبكى: قالوا ما يبكيك؟ قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا شيع جيشا، فبلغ عقبة الوداع، قال: أستودع الله دينكم وأمانتكم وخواتيم أعمالكم، فرأى رجلا ذات يوم قد رقع بردة له بقطعة فرو، قال: فاستقبل مطلع الشمس وقال بيده- وصف حماد ببطن الكفين ومد بيده-: تطالعت عليكم الدنيا، تطالعت عليكم الدنيا. أي أقبلت حتى ظننا أن تقع علينا، ثم قال: أنتم اليوم خير أم إذا غدت عليكم قصعة، وراحت أخرى، ويغدو أحدكم في حلة، ويروح في أخرى، وتستر بيوتكم كما تستر الكعبة.
Ahmad narrated it in Zuhd (1102) from Affan, who said, Hammad bin Salama narrated to us, Abu Jafar Khatami informed us, from Muhammad bin Kaab Qurazi, who said, then he mentioned it. Its chain of transmission is sahih. Abu Jafar Khatami is Umayr bin Yazid bin Umayr Ansari, who was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Mahdi, Ibn Numayr, Ibn Main, Nasai, and others.Haythami said in Majma (10/581), "Tabarani narrated it, and its narrators are the narrators of sahih, except for Abu Jafar Khatami, who is trustworthy." I did not find it in the printed edition of Tabarani's work, because it has not yet been printed in full.It was narrated from Abdullah bin Amr, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will surely come upon the people when their hearts will be the hearts of non-Arabs." I said, "And what are the hearts of non-Arabs?" He said, "Love of this world. Their way will be the way of the bedouins. Whatever provision comes to them, they will put into livestock. They will regard jihad as a harm, and zakat as a loss."There is disagreement about whether it is raised or stopped.Tabarani narrated it in Kabir (13/68) from Jafar bin Muhammad Firyabi, who said, Hisham bin Ammar narrated to us, who said, Baqiya bin Walid narrated to us, who said, Khalid bin Humayd Mahri narrated to us, who said, Humayd bin Hani Khawlani narrated to us, from Abu Abdul-Rahman, from Abdullah bin Amr, who said, then he mentioned it, as a raised narration.Likewise, Abu Yaala narrated it, in Matalib (4493), through another route, from Ibn Lahia, who said, Humayd bin Hani narrated to me, from Shufayy, from Abdullah bin Amr, who said, then he mentioned it.Saeed bin Abu Ayub differed from them both, meaning Khalid bin Humayd Mahri and Ibn Lahia, saying, Ibn Hani narrated to me, who said, Shufayy narrated to me, from Abdullah bin Amr, as his own statement, meaning as a stopped narration. Harith narrated it through this route in his Musnad, in Bughyat Bahith (289).Ibn Hajar said in Matalib (4493), after mentioning the hadith both as raised and as stopped, "And this is more sound," meaning the stopped version.I say, and it is as he said, because Saeed bin Abu Ayub Khuzai was deemed trustworthy by Ibn Main, Nasai, and others, and Ibn Hajar said of him, "Trustworthy, firm." He said of Khalid bin Humayd Mahri, "There is no harm in him," while Ibn Lahia is a subject of criticism.
