Once, Hazrat Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon, beginning with praise and glorification of Allah, and after saying "Amma ba'd" he said: The world is informing us that it is coming to an end, and it is turning its back and departing, and its remaining duration is only as much as the moisture left in a vessel by the one who drinks from it. And you are about to move to a house which will never perish, so move to that house with the best of deeds, because we have been told that if a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell, it will keep falling for seventy years but will not reach its bottom. By Allah! It will surely be filled. Do you find this astonishing? And we have also been told that the distance between the two sides of Paradise is a journey of forty years, and yet a day will surely come when it will be filled due to the crowd. And I have seen the time when I was the seventh person among those who accepted Islam with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees, because of which our jaws became sore. One day I found a sheet, so I divided it into two parts between myself and Sa'd; he tied half of it as a lower garment, and I tied the other half. And now each one of us is a governor of some city. I seek refuge with Allah from considering myself great in my own eyes while being insignificant in the sight of Allah. And the chain of Prophethood has now ended, and its outcome will be kingship, and soon you will test the rulers who come after us.

It is narrated from Hazrat Dakin bin Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we presented ourselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and our total number was four hundred and forty people. We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a request for grain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Get up and give them grain." He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) I have only as much grain as will suffice me and my children for just four months." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his command. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) whatever your command, I will fulfill it immediately." So Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, and we also went with him. He took us to one of his rooms, took out the key, and opened the door. We saw that there were heaps of dates in the room like the young of a goat. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Take as much as you want." So each of us took dates according to our need. I was the last among them. When I observed, it seemed as if even after all of us together had taken, not a single date had decreased from it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Dakin bin Saeed Al-Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we presented ourselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Our total number was four hundred and forty people. We came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with a request for grain. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Get up and give them grain." He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) I have only as much grain as will suffice me and my children for just four months." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) repeated his command. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as you command, I will fulfill it immediately." Thus, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, and we also went along with him. He took us to one of his rooms, took out the key, and opened the door. We saw that there were heaps of dates in the room like the young of a goat. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Take as much as you want." So each of us took dates according to his need. I was the last among them. When I observed, it seemed as if even after all of us together had taken, not a single date had decreased from it. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
