Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ هُوَ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ قَفِيزٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْعَجْمِ يُمْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُوشِكُ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ أَنْ لَا يُجْبَى إِلَيْهِمْ دِينَارٌ وَلَا مُدٌّ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ ذَاكَ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرُّومِ يُمْنَعُونَ ذَاكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ أُمَّتِي خَلِيفَةٌ يَحْثُو الْمَالَ حَثْوًا لَا يَعُدُّهُ عَدًّا قَالَ الْجُرَيْرِيُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي نَضْرَةَ وَأَبِي الْعَلَاءِ أَتَرَيَانِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ فَقَالَا لَا.
English Translation
Isma'il - that is, Ibn Ulayyah - told us, from al-Jurayri, from Abu Nadrah, who said: We were with Jabir ibn Abdullah, and he said: "The people of Iraq are about to have neither a measure of grain nor a dirham brought to them." We said: "Why is that?" He said: "From the direction of the non-Arabs (the Persians); they will be prevented from that." Then he said: "The people of Syria are about to have neither a dinar nor a mudd brought to them." We said: "Why is that?" "From the direction of the Byzantines; they will be prevented from that." He said: Then he was silent a while, then said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There will be, at the end of my ummah, a caliph who scatters wealth in handfuls without counting it." Al-Jurayri said: I said to Abu Nadrah and Abu al-Ala: "Do you think he means Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, may Allah, the Exalted, be pleased with him?" They said: "No."
