أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْحِمْصِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : وَفَدْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِحُوَّارَيْنَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ نُعَزِّيهِ، وَنُهَنِّيهِ بِالْخِلَافَةِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا، يَقُولُ :" أَلَا إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ الْأَشْرَارُ، ويُوضَعُ الْأَخْيَارُ، أَلَا إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ الْقَوْلُ وَيُخْزَنَ الْعَمَلُ، أَلَا إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ تُتْلَى الْمَثْنَاةُ، فَلَا يُوجَدُ مَنْ يُغَيِّرُهَا، قِيلَ لَهُ : وَمَا الْمَثْنَاةُ؟، قَالَ : مَا اسْتُكْتِبَ مِنْ كِتَابٍ غَيْرِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَبِهِ هُدِيتُمْ، وَبِهِ تُجْزَوْنَ، وَعَنْهُ تُسْأَلُونَ "، فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَنْ الرَّجُلُ، فَحَدَّثْتُ هذَا الْحَدِيثِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِحِمْصَ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْقَوْمِ : أَوَ مَا تَعْرِفُهُ؟، قُلْتُ : لَا، قَالَ : ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا

Al-Walid bin Hisham told us, Al-Harith bin Yazid Al-Homsi told us, on the authority of Amr bin Qais, he said: I came with my father to Yazid bin Muawiyah with two dialogues: When Muawiyah died, may God be pleased with him, we console him and congratulate him on the caliphate. Then, behold, a man was in her mosque, saying: “Indeed, One of the signs of the Hour is that the evil people will be exalted and the good people will be put down. Indeed, one of the signs of the Hour is that the words will be made known and the actions will be withdrawn. The hour is for the Muthanna to be recited, and there will be no one to change it. It was said to him: What is the Muthanna? He said: No book has been written other than the Qur’an, so it is upon you. By the Qur’an, for by it you have been guided, and for it you will be rewarded, and for it you will be asked.” I did not know who the man was, so I narrated this hadith after that to Homs. Then a man from the people said to me: Or do you not know him? I said: No. He said: That is Abdullah bin Amr, may God be pleased with them both.
