The nations are about to invite one another and come upon

...Just as those partaking in meals invite others to share in their dish

Thawban (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The nations are about to invite one another and come upon you just as those partaking in meals invite others to share in their dish".

Someone asked, 'Will that be because we are few in number that day?'



He (SAW) replied, "No, at that time you will be numerous! But you will be froth/scum like the froth/scum carried by the torrent, and Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies, and Allah will indeed throw wahn into your hearts."



Someone asked, 'What is wahn?'



He (SAW) replied, "Love for the world and hatred for death."

Zubayr ibn Adiyy (RA) reported: We entered upon Anas ibn Malik (RA) and complained to him of what we suffered from Al-Hajjaj. So he said, 'Have patience, a time will not come upon you except that what comes after it is worse than it until you meet your Lord. I heard this from your Prophet (SAW).'
