He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "There will surely be people from my nation who will consider as lawful illicit sexual relations, silk, wine, and musical instruments. Some people will settle beside a mountain, and their shepherd will return to them in the evening with their flocks. A poor man will come to them with a need, and they will say, 'Come back to us tomorrow.' Then Allah will destroy them during the night, bringing the mountain down upon them, and He will transform others into monkeys and swine until the Day of Resurrection."
- أنه سمع النبي ﷺ يقول: ليكونن من أمتي أقوام يستحلون الحر والحرير والخمر والمعازف، ولينزلن أقوام إلى جنب علم يروح عليهم بسارحة لهم، يأتيهم- يعني الفقير- لحاجة فيقولوا: ارجع إلينا غدا فيبيتهم الله، ويضع العلم، ويمسخ آخرين قردة وخنازير إلى يوم القيامة.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Drinks (5590). He said, Hisham bin Ammar said, Sadaqa bin Khalid told us, Abdul-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir told us, Atiya bin Qays Kullabi told us, Abdul-Rahman bin Ghanm Ashari told us, he said, Abu Amir - or Abu Malik - Ashari told me - by Allah he did not lie to me - he heard the Prophet ﷺ say, then he mentioned the hadith.This is how Bukhari narrated it, using the word "he said." Hisham bin Ammar is one of Bukhari's teachers, and Bukhari relied on him as evidence in more than one hadith, as Ibn Hajar explained in his biography in the introduction to Fath al-Bari. For this reason, more than one scholar has said that when Bukhari uses the word "he said," it should be understood in the same sense as "he told me," "he informed me," or "from," meaning that it indicates a connected chain. This is the view that Ibn Salah preferred.Ibn Hibban narrated it (6754) from Husayn bin Abdullah Qattan, who said, Hisham bin Ammar told us, with his chain of transmission, in an abridged form.Regarding the word "hirr" with ha, it means the private parts. Scholars have differed over this word, whether it is "hirr" as in the version of Bukhari that we have, or "khazz." The well-known view, as Ibn Athir said in Nihaya, is, "In the narrations of this hadith, according to its various routes, the wording is 'they deem khazz permissible,' with kha and zay, which is a well-known type of silk garment." End of quote.I say, this is how it appears in Sunan Abu Dawud (4039) and elsewhere, and it is a type of silk. The word "khazz" refers to what is made from the fur of the male hare, and this type of khazz carries no threat or punishment.
