حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَی أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ فَشَکَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ مَا نَلْقَی مِنْ الْحَجَّاجِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ عَامٍ إِلَّا الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ حَتَّی تَلْقَوْا رَبَّکُمْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ نَبِيِّکُمْ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2206
Az-Zubair bin 'Adi said: We entered upon Anas bin Malik. We complained to him about what we were experiencing from Al-Hajjaj. So he said: 'There will not be a year, except that the one that is after it will be more evil than it, until you meet your Lord. I heard this from your Prophet(s.a.w). '
