Tariq bin Shihab says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came and said: The iqamah has been pronounced. He stood up and we also stood up. When we entered the mosque, we saw that the people in the front part of the mosque were in the state of bowing (ruku‘). He said "Allahu Akbar" and (before reaching the row) performed ruku‘; we also performed ruku‘, then while in the state of ruku‘ we moved forward (and stood in the row), and we did as he did. A man passed by in haste and said: Abu Abdur Rahman! Peace be upon you. Hearing this, he said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. When we had finished the prayer and returned, he went to his family. We sat down and began to say to each other: Did you hear that he replied to that man by saying: Allah has spoken the truth and His Messengers have conveyed (His message)? Who among you will ask him about what he did? Tariq said: I will ask. When he came out, he asked him. In reply, he said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Before the Day of Judgment, greetings of peace will be given only to specific people, and trade will become widespread, to the extent that a wife will help her husband in business matters; also, ties of kinship will be severed, false testimony will be given, true testimony will be concealed, and writing and reading (will also become widespread).
