"حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ الْمَعْوَلِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ مَجَاعَةٌ، مَنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ فَلاَ يَعْدِلَنَّ بِالأَكْبَادِ الْجَائِعَةِ.
