وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ التَّمِيمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَسَّانَ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ سَلاَّمٍ - حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَلاَّمٍ قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا بِشَرٍّ فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ فَهَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ. قُلْتُ هَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». قُلْتُ فَهَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». قُلْتُ كَيْفَ قَالَ « يَكُونُ بَعْدِى أَئِمَّةٌ لاَ يَهْتَدُونَ بِهُدَاىَ وَلاَ يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِى وَسَيَقُومُ فِيهِمْ رِجَالٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِى جُثْمَانِ إِنْسٍ ». قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ « تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِلأَمِيرِ وَإِنْ ضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ وَأُخِذَ مَالُكَ فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ ».
Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we were in an evil state, then Allah brought something good, and we are in a [good] state. Will there be any evil after this goodness?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'And will there be any goodness after that evil?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'And will there be any evil after that goodness?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'How?' He said: 'After I am gone, there will be A'immah (leaders) who will not follow my way and will not follow my example. Among them there will be men whose hearts are the hearts of devils in the bodies of men.' I said: 'What should I do, O Messenger of Allah, if I live to see that?' He said: 'Hear and obey the ruler, even if your back is flogged and your wealth is taken; hear and obey."'

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
