حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " تَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَجُنْدَبٍ وَالنُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ وَأَبِي مُوسَى . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .

Qutaybah narrated to us: al-Layth ibn Sa‘d narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Sa‘d ibn Sinan, from Anas ibn Malik, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Before the Hour, there will be tribulations like pieces of a dark night. A man will wake as a believer and enter the evening as an unbeliever, or enter the evening as a believer and wake as an unbeliever. People will sell their religion for worldly gain.’ Abu ‘Isa said: There are reports on this topic from Abu Hurayrah, Jundab, al-Nu‘man ibn Bashir, and Abu Musa. This is a gharib hadith through this route.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
As in the parallel report, both directions of the rapid change in faith are retained; this version says that people, in the plural, sell their religion.
