2825 - Abu Sa'd Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Malaini narrated to us, saying: Abu Ahmad ibn Adi al-Hafiz narrated to us, saying: my father Ya'la al-Mawsili narrated to us, saying: Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Asadi narrated to us, from Sharik, from Abu Ishaq, from Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "The Hour will not be established until thirty liars emerge, among them are Musaylima, al-Anlisi, and al-Mukhtar,
and the worst tribes of the Arabs will be the Banu Umayyah, the Banu Hanifah, and Thaqif." Abu Ahmad said: "I do not know of anyone who narrated this from Sharik except Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Asadi, and he has other unique reports. Trustworthy people narrated from him, and I did not see any harm in his narration." I say: "And there are sound witnesses for his narration in relation to al-Mukhtar ibn Abi Ubaid al-Thaqifi."
