Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَلْبَثُ الْجَوْرُ بَعْدِي إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ فَكُلَّمَا طَلَعَ مِنْ الْجَوْرِ شَيْءٌ ذَهَبَ مِنْ الْعَدْلِ مِثْلُهُ حَتَّى يُولَدَ فِي الْجَوْرِ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ غَيْرَهُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِالْعَدْلِ فَكُلَّمَا جَاءَ مِنْ الْعَدْلِ شَيْءٌ ذَهَبَ مِنْ الْجَوْرِ مِثْلُهُ حَتَّى يُولَدَ فِي الْعَدْلِ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ غَيْرَهُ.
English Translation
Abu Ahmad told us: Khalid told us, from Nafi', from Ma'qil ibn Yasar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Injustice will not remain after me except for a little while before it rises up; then whenever some injustice arises, an equal amount of justice departs, until someone is born into injustice who knows nothing else. Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, brings justice, and whenever some justice comes, an equal amount of injustice departs, until someone is born into justice who knows nothing else."
