Remembrance of Past Nations

The memory of Sufyan was stronger than mine.

‘The goodness of this nation will not cease as long as they revere this sanctuary* as it is due. But when they lose that reverence, they will be doomed.”

“Night and day will not cease until a group among my nation drinks wine, calling it by some other name.”

“People among my nation will drink wine, under some other name that they will give it.”

“We are the last of the nations, and the first to be brought to account. It will be said: ‘Where is the unlettered nation and its Prophet?’ So we are the last and the first.”
