Sahih Muslim 1924
حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُمَاسَةَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ مُخَلَّدٍ وَعِنْدَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ عَلَى شِرَارِ الْخَلْقِ هُمْ شَرٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لاَ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ . فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَقْبَلَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَسْلَمَةُ يَا عُقْبَةُ اسْمَعْ مَا يَقُولُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ تَزَالُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ قَاهِرِينَ لِعَدُوِّهِمْ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ وَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَجَلْ . ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ رِيحًا كَرِيحِ الْمِسْكِ مَسُّهَا مَسُّ الْحَرِيرِ فَلاَ تَتْرُكُ نَفْسًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ إِلاَّ قَبَضَتْهُ ثُمَّ يَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِمْ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ .
Ahmad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Wahb narrated to me: My uncle Abdullah ibn Wahb narrated to us: Amr ibn al-Harith narrated to us: Yazid ibn Abi Habib narrated to me: Abd al-Rahman ibn Shumasah al-Mahri narrated to me. He said: I was with Maslamah ibn Mukhallad, and Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As was with him. Abdullah said: The Hour will not come except upon the worst of creation. They are worse than the people of the pre-Islamic era; they do not ask Allah for anything without it being turned back upon them. While they were in that situation, Uqbah ibn Amir arrived. Maslamah said to him: Uqbah, listen to what Abdullah says. Uqbah replied: He knows better. As for me, I heard the Messenger of Allah say that a group of my community will continue to fight in obedience to the command of Allah, prevailing over their enemy. Those who oppose them will not harm them, until the Hour comes upon them while they remain so. Abdullah said: Yes. Then Allah will send a wind, fragrant like musk and soft to the touch like silk. It will take the soul of everyone with even a mustard seed of faith in their heart. Then only the worst of people will remain, and the Hour will come upon them.
Translation notes
السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ عَلَى شِرَارِ الْخَلْقِ هُمْ شَرٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لاَ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ رَدَّهُ
The Arabic says that whatever they ask of Allah is rejected, while the supplied English witness says their requests are granted.
Can this witness divergence be checked against the underlying source?
