حَدَّثَنَا غِيَاثُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّحْبِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جَابِرٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ بَلاَءٌ وَفِتْنَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
