حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فُلاَنًا يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ . فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ فَلاَ تُقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلاَمَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " يَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ أَوْ فِي أُمَّتِي الشَّكُّ مِنْهُ خَسْفٌ أَوْ مَسْخٌ أَوْ قَذْفٌ فِي أَهْلِ الْقَدَرِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَأَبُو صَخْرٍ اسْمُهُ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ .
Nafi Narrated from:
A man came to Ibn 'Umar and said: "So-And-So Conveys His Salam To You." So He Said: "It Has Been Conveyed To Me That He Has Innovated, So If He Has Indeed Innovated, Then Do Not Convey My Salam To Him, For I Heard The Messenger Of Allah (S.A.W) Saying: 'In This Ummah' Or: 'In My Ummah'" - The Doubt Was His - "A Collapse Of The Earth, Or A Transformation, Or Stones Shall Rain Upon The People Of Al-Qadr.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2152
This hadith about the people of Al-Qadr includes a report from Ibn Umar. A man conveyed salam from someone, and Ibn Umar replied that if the person had truly innovated, then his salam should not be conveyed back. He then mentioned that he heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say there would be, in this Ummah, a collapse of the earth, transformation, or stones raining upon the people of Al-Qadr. The wording is severe and should be treated carefully. The text highlights the seriousness of corrupt belief about Qadar. It does not give permission for careless labels. It shows that belief in Allah's decree is a serious matter.
