Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I read to Malik from Qatan ibn Wahb ibn 'Uwaymir ibn al-Ajda', from Yuhannis, the freed slave of al-Zubayr, who informed him that he was sitting with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar during the time of the turmoil (al-fitnah), when a freed slave woman of his came to greet him and said, "I want to leave, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, for the times have become hard upon us." 'Abdullah said to her, "Stay, you foolish woman, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'No one endures its hardship and severity except that I will be a witness for him or an intercessor for him on the Day of Resurrection.'"
