Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الدَّجَّالِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ الْعَرَبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ الْعَرَبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَلِيلٌ فَقُلْتُ مَا يُجْزِئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ مَا يُجْزِئُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ التَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّحْمِيدُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ الْمَالِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ قَالَ غُلَامٌ شَدِيدٌ يَسْقِي أَهْلَهُ مِنْ الْمَاءِ وَأَمَّا الطَّعَامُ فَلَا طَعَامَ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Hammad ibn Salama told us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from al-Hasan, from Aisha, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned a severe hardship that would occur before the Dajjal. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?' He said: 'O Aisha, the Arabs at that time will be few.' I said: 'What food will suffice the believers at that time?' He said: 'What suffices the angels: glorification, magnification, praise, and declaring Allah's oneness.' I said: 'Which wealth will be best at that time?' He said: 'A sturdy young servant who fetches water for his family, for as for food, there will be no food.'
