It is narrated from Shaddad bin Ma’qal that he said: Abdullah said:“The time is near when you will not receive any money or dirham from Kufa.”I asked,“How will this happen, O Abdullah bin Mas’ud?”He replied,“Such people will come whose faces will be like swollen shields, until they tie their horses around and drive you out to places where grass grows, until a camel and provisions for the journey will be more beloved to one of you than a palace from among these palaces of yours.”
