65 – Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿīd narrated to us; Abū Usāmah related it to us; ʿUmar ibn Ḥamzah transmitted—citing ʿAmr ibn Yūsuf, the client of ʿUthmān—who said: “I heard Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib say to Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān and to Abū Bakr ibn Sulaymān ibn Abī Khaythamah, when they were discussing the Banū Umayyah: ‘Their downfall will come from none but themselves.’ They asked, ‘How so?’ He replied, ‘Their forbearing elders will die off, their heedless youths will remain, they will begin to vie for power, the people will gather against them, and those people will bring about their ruin.’
