their own souls." (1)

This is a good and authentic hadith.

2330 - Abu Kurayb narrated to us, Sayfi ibn Rib'i narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Umar, from Ubaydullah ibn Umar, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Aisha, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "At the end of this ummah there will be sinking of the earth, transformation into animals, and casting down of stones." She said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we be destroyed while there are righteous people among us?" He said: "Yes, when wickedness appears." (2)

This is a strange hadith among the narrations of Aisha; we do not know it except through this chain. Yahya ibn Sa'id criticized Abdullah ibn Umar regarding his memory.

2331 - Hannad narrated to us, Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim al-Taymi, from his father—

--------------------------------------------
(1) A sound hadith apart from his saying: "People will not cease to attack this House," and this chain is weak due to the unknown identity of Muslim ibn Safwan. It was also recorded by Ibn Majah (4064). It is in the Musnad (26858).
(2) Good due to corroborating evidence, but this chain is weak due to the weakness of Abdullah ibn Umar al-Amari. It was also recorded by Abu Ya'la (4693), and al-Mizzi in Tahdhib al-Kamal 13/248. The saying "At the end of this ummah there will be sinking of the earth, transformation into animals, and casting down of stones" is supported by the hadith of Ibn Amr in the Musnad (6521), which is good due to corroborating evidence; see the rest of its supporting witnesses there. The saying "Will we be destroyed while there are righteous people among us... etc." is supported by the hadith of Zaynab bint Jahsh that follows after one hadith.
