Narrated Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, narrated Abu Mu'awiyah and Waki'; and narrated Abu Kurayb, narrated Abu Mu'awiyah, from al-A'mash, from Zayd ibn Wahb, from Hudhayfah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us two hadiths, one of which I have witnessed, and I am awaiting the other. He told us: "Trustworthiness descended into the very roots of men's hearts, then the Qur'an was revealed, and they learned from the Qur'an and learned from the Sunnah." Then he told us about the removal of trustworthiness, saying: "A man sleeps one sleep, and trustworthiness is taken from his heart, leaving a trace like a small mark. Then he sleeps another sleep, and trustworthiness is taken from his heart, leaving a trace like a blister—like an ember you roll onto your foot, which raises a blister, and you see it swollen, yet there is nothing in it." Then he picked up a pebble and rolled it over his foot. "Then people wake up and engage in trade, and hardly anyone fulfills trustworthiness, until it is said, 'Among the Banu so-and-so there is a trustworthy man.' And it is said of a man, 'How steadfast he is, how refined he is, how intelligent he is,' while in his heart there is not a grain of mustard seed of faith." He said: There came a time when I did not care which of you I made a pledge with—if he was a Muslim, his religion would surely return it to me, and if he was a Christian or a Jew, his overseer would surely return it to me. But today, I would not make a pledge with any of you except so-and-so and so-and-so.
