Muwatta Malik #1959
Speech
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخَبَثُ " .
Malik related to me that he had heard that Umm Salama, the wife
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Messenger of Allah! Shall we be destroyed while there are people who
are salih among us?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Yes, if there is much wickedness."
