Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Mūsā ibn ‘Abd al-Raḥmān al-Kindī al-Kūfī narrated to us; Zayd ibn Ḥubāb narrated to us; Mūsā ibn ‘Ubaydah informed me; ‘Abd Allāh ibn Dīnār narrated to me, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said that the Messenger of Allah said: “When my community walks with a proud, swaying gait and is served by the sons of kings—the sons of Persians and Romans—the worst of them will be given authority over the best of them.”

Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a gharīb hadith. Abū Mu‘āwiyah also narrated it from Yaḥyā ibn Sa‘īd al-Anṣārī.

Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl al-Wāsiṭī narrated to us this route: Abū Mu‘āwiyah, from Yaḥyā ibn Sa‘īd, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Dīnār, from Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet, a report similar to it. No established basis is known for Abū Mu‘āwiyah’s report from Yaḥyā ibn Sa‘īd, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Dīnār, from Ibn ‘Umar; the well-known report is only that of Mūsā ibn ‘Ubaydah. Mālik ibn Anas related this hadith from Yaḥyā ibn Sa‘īd as a mursal report, without mentioning ‘Abd Allāh ibn Dīnār or Ibn ‘Umar.
