Malik bin Abu Maryam narrates: We were discussing about gold plating when Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm came to us. As we started this conversation, he informed us: Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me that he heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Some people from my Ummah will drink wine, but they will call it by another name. Musical instruments will be played near their heads and singing women will be present. Allah Almighty will cause the earth to swallow them, and some of them will be transformed into monkeys and pigs.”

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The name of Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) is Harith bin Malik, and according to one opinion, the name of Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) is Ka’b bin Asim.
