Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 3937
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَبِيرِ بْنِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ الْحَبْحَابِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الْأَزْدُ أُسْدُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ، يُرِيدُ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَضَعُوهُمْ، وَيَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْفَعَهُمْ، وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ: يَا لَيْتَ أَبِي كَانَ أَزْدِيًّا، يَا لَيْتَ أُمِّي كَانَتْ أَزْدِيَّةً . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَرُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ مَوْقُوفٌ وَهُوَ عِنْدَنَا أَصَحُّ.
Narrated Anas: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Al-Azd is Allah's lion upon the earth, the people wish to lower them but Allah refuses except to raise them. A time will come upon the people where a man will say: I wish my father was Azadi, I wish my mother was Azadi.
