al-Laythī said: that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said—while we were sitting on a mat—"There will be a tribulation." They asked, "What should we do, O Messenger of Allāh?!"

The commentator on it said: "Perhaps it is Bashīr ibn Saʿd ibn al-Nuʿmān, who witnessed Uḥud and other events with his father, as in 'al-Tajrīd ... ' ... "! I said: This is far from being accurate; for several reasons:
