Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 36, Hadith 157
“ إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَنَا الآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي سَيَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي بَلاَءً وَتَشْرِيدًا وَتَطْرِيدًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مَعَهُمْ رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ فَيَسْأَلُونَ الْخَيْرَ فَلاَ يُعْطَوْنَهُ فَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَيُنْصَرُونَ فَيُعْطَوْنَ مَا سَأَلُوا فَلاَ يَقْبَلُونَهُ حَتَّى يَدْفَعُوهَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَيَمْلَؤُهَا قِسْطًا كَمَا مَلَؤُوهَا جَوْرًا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِهِمْ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ ” .

Da’if (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who passed away in 273 AH (886 CE), the Sunan Ibn Majah is recognized as one of the six canonical hadith collections, or Kutub al-Sittah, within Sunni Islam. This substantial work contains approximately 4,000 narrations that address a wide array of subjects crucial to Islamic life. These topics encompass matters of faith, detailed ritual practices, personal ethics, and broader social issues. While it is a respected and important resource, its standing is often considered slightly below that of the other five major collections. This perception exists because scholars have identified a number of weaker narrations within its contents. Despite this qualification, it continues to be an invaluable reference for Islamic scholars and students engaged in deep study.
