السادس: عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ فَشَكَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ مَا نَلْقَى مِنَ الْحَجَّاجِ. فَقَالَ: اصْبِرُوا فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَأْتِي زمان إلا والذي بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَوْا رَبَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Az-Zubair bin 'Adi said: We went to Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) and complained to him of suffering at the hands of Al-Hajjaj. He replied: "Show endurance, for no time will come but will be followed by one worse (than the present one) till you meet your Rubb. I heard this from your Prophet (ﷺ)". [Al- Bukhari].
