حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، الْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْجَالِسِ، وَالْجَالِسُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ، وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي، وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ، فَلْيَضْرِبْ بِحَدِّهِ صَخْرَةً، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Soon there will be tribulations in which the one lying down will be better than the one sitting, and the one sitting will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do then?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever has camels should go to his camels, and whoever has goats should go to his goats, and whoever has land should go to his land, and whoever has nothing should take his sword and strike its edge on a rock. And if he can save himself, let him save himself; if he can save himself, let him save himself.
