Abdullaah Ad-Daylamee (rahimahullaah) said:

”Indeed the disappearance of the religion will firstly be (by way of the) disappearance of one Sunnah (after) another Sunnah; just as a rope loses strength (after) strength.”

[Quoted by Shaikh Jamaal Al-Fareehaan al-Haarithee in Durar al-Manthoor page: 20.  The Shaikh reference this statement of Ad-Daylamee to Ad-Daarimee:97, Ib Wadaah, No:73 and Laalikaa’ee, No:127]
