حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي ضَمْرَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ابْنَ زُغْبٍ الْإِيَادِيّحَدَّثَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَوَالَةَ الْأَزْدِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِنَغْنَمَ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا فَرَجَعْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ نَغْنَمْ شَيْئًا وَعَرَفَ الْجَهْدَ فِي وُجُوهِنَا فَقَامَ فِينَا فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَأَضْعُفَ عَنْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَسْتَأْثِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى هَامَتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا ابْنَ حَوَالَةَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْخِلَافَةَ قَدْ نَزَلَتْ أَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدْ دَنَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ وَالْبَلَابِلُ وَالْأُمُورُ الْعِظَامُ وَالسَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ يَدِي هَذِهِ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَوَالَةَ حِمْصِيٌّ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent us on foot to get spoil, but we returned without getting any. When he saw the signs of distress on our faces, he stood up on our faces and said: O Allah, do not put them under my care, for I would be too weak to care for them; do not put them in care of themselves, for they would be incapable of that, and do not put them in the care of men, for they would choose the best things for themselves. He then placed his hand on my head and said: Ibn Hawalah, when you see the caliphate has settled in the holy land, earthquakes, sorrows and serious matters will have drawn near and on that day the Last Hour will be nearer to mankind than this hand of mine is to your head. Abu Dawud said: Abdullah bin Hawalah belongs to Hims.
