Hazrat Mustazil bin Husain (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was addressing us. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Indeed, I know when the people of Arabia will be destroyed. One of the Muslims stood up and asked: O Commander of the Faithful, when will these people be destroyed? He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: When their affairs are managed by a person who neither made any plans during the time of ignorance nor kept the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
