حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا. ح حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا وَأَنَا لِحَدِيثِهِ أَتْقَنُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ أَخِي أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمْصَارُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَتَكُونُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ تُقْطَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيهَا بُعُوثٌ فَيَكْرَهُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الْبَعْثَ فِيهَا فَيَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ يَتَصَفَّحُ الْقَبَائِلَ يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا أَلَا وَذَلِكَ الْأَجِيرُ إِلَى آخِرِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ .

He heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: Capitals will be conquered at your hands, and you will have to raise companies in large armies. A man will be unwilling to join a company, so he will escape from his people and go round the tribes offering himself to them, saying: Whose place may I take in such and such expedition? Whose place may I take in such and such expedition? Beware: That man is a hireling to the last drop of his blood.
