وَقَالَ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الأَشْعَرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَعْلَمُ الأَيَّامَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيَّامَ الْهَرْجِ‏.‏ نَحْوَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مَنْ تُدْرِكُهُمُ السَّاعَةُ وَهُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abū ʿAwāna reported from ʿĀṣim, from Abū Wāʾil, from al-Ashʿarī, that he said to ʿAbd Allāh: “Do you know the days the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned—the days of al-harj?” The report is similar. Ibn Masʿūd said: “I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: ‘Among the worst of people are those whom the Hour overtakes while they are still alive.’”
