Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28464

Abu Musab Al-Madani told us, on the authority of Muharrar bin Harun, on the authority of Abdul Rahman Al-Araj, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said “ Hasten to do good deeds. Do you see nothing but forgotten poverty, or overwhelming wealth, or a corrupting disease, or ruinous old age, or death? Or the Dajjal, an absent and awaiting evil, or the Hour, for the Hour is worse and more bitter.” He said, “This is a good, strange hadith. We do not know of it as a hadith.” Al-Araj on the authority of Abu Hurairah, except for the hadith of Muharrar ibn Harun, and Bishr ibn Umar and others narrated this on the authority of Muharrar ibn Harun. Muammar narrated this hadith on the authority of someone who heard Saeed al-Maqbari on the authority of Abu Hurairah on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and he said, “Wait.”
