١٨٢. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:
«يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ! خَمْسٌ إِذَا ابْتُلِيتُمْ بِهِنَّ وَأَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ أَنْ تُدْرِكُوهُنَّ، لَمْ تَظْهَرِ الْفَاحِشَةُ فِي قَوْمٍ قَطُّ حَتَّى يُعْلِنُوا بِهَا إِلَّا فَشَا فِيهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ وَالْأَوْجَاعُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَكُنْ مَضَتْ فِي أَسْلَافِهِمُ الَّذِينَ مَضَوْا وَلَمْ يَنْقُصُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ إِلَّا أُخِذُوا بِالسِّنِينَ وَشِدَّةِ الْمَئُونَةِ وَجَوْرِ السُّلْطَانِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعُوا زَكَاةَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ إِلَّا مُنِعُوا الْقَطْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَلَوْلَا الْبَهَائِمُ لَمْ يُمْطَرُوا وَلَمْ يَنْقُضُوا عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ وَعَهْدَ رَسُولِهِ إِلَّا سَلَّطَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَخَذُوا بَعْضَ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا لَمْ تَحْكُمْ أَئِمَّتُهُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللّٰهِ وَيَتَخَيَّرُوا مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ».
182. Abdullah b. Umar (r.anhuma) narrated:
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) turned to us and said: “O the people of Muhajirin! There are five things that I seek refuge in Allah for you not to reach them. They are:
1. If adultery and indecency emerges in a nation and finally that nation starts to commit it openly, for sure plague and illnesses that are unseen in previous nations that lived before them spread in them.
2. Every nation that misconducts in measuring and weighing will be punished by famine, poverty, and oppression by their rulers.
3. Every nation that avoids giving the mandatory alms from their wealth surely will be deprived of rain (will be punished by drought) and if it weren’t for their animals, it would not rain on them.
4. Every nation that left Allah’s pledge (commands) and the Messenger’s pledge (his agreements and traditions) is surely burdened with an enemy that is not from them and that enemy takes some of what they have.
5. As long as their rulers do not act upon the Book of Allah and pick and choose among the rules Allah decreed according to what they prefer, Allah accounts for them among themselves (they would be inflicted with the troubles of mischief, corruption, and anarchy). (Ibn Majah, Fitan, 22; Hakim, IV, 583/8623; Baihaqi, Shuab, III, 197)
