Abu Nadrah reported: We were in the company of Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh and he said: "It may soon happen that the people of Iraq may not send their Qiffīz and dirhams (their measures of food stuff and their money)." We said: "Who would be responsible for it?" He said: "The non-Arabs would prevent them." He then said: " It may soon happen that the people of Syria may not send their dinars and Mudds." We said: "Who would be responsible for it?" He said this prevention would be made by the Romans." He (Jābir ibn Abdullāh) kept quiet for a while and then reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There would be a caliph in the last (period) of my Ummah who would freely give handfuls of wealth to the people without counting it." I (the reporter) asked Abu Nadrah and Abu Al-‘Alā' if they refer to ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz, and they both answered in the negative.
