Arabic Text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّادِقَ الْمَصْدُوقَ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَدَّثَنِي ‏ "‏ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُحْشَرُونَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَفْوَاجٍ فَوْجٌ رَاكِبِينَ طَاعِمِينَ كَاسِينَ وَفَوْجٌ تَسْحَبُهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ وَتَحْشُرُهُمُ النَّارُ وَفَوْجٌ يَمْشُونَ وَيَسْعَوْنَ يُلْقِي اللَّهُ الآفَةَ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ فَلاَ يَبْقَى حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَدِيقَةُ يُعْطِيهَا بِذَاتِ الْقَتَبِ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said; "The truthful one whom people believe told me:

'The people will be gathered in three groups: A group who will be riding, well fed and well clothed; a group whom the angels will drag on their faces and whom the fire will drive; and a group who will be walking with difficulty. Allah will send a disease to kill all the riding beasts and none will remain, until a man would give a garden for a she-camel but he will not be able to have it.
