What is the authenticity of the hadith: “A time will come upon my Ummah in which the one who holds fast to his religion is like one holding a burning coal”?

Question:
The questioner also has a second question, in which he says: O His Eminence the Shaykh: Did this hadith come from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with this meaning, namely that: and that he has the reward of fifty Companions? And if the answer is yes, is our current time the one the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to?

Answer:
All of this is correct, yes. This occurs in some times and in some places, in our time and before our time as well, and it will come again. It is not in every time, but in some times and in some places. It may be in a country where this does not occur because the good is manifest there, and it may be in another country where the good has decreased. So the one who holds fast to his religion is like the one holding a burning coal. When the state of being a stranger (ghurabah) becomes severe, this happens, and the one who acts is given the reward of fifty of the Companions. The more severe the state of being a stranger becomes, the more so. May Allah send prayers upon Muhammad.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
