حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، (٢) أَلَا فَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي إِلَيْهَا، أَلَا وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ فِيهَا، أَلَا وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ، أَلَا إِذَا نَزَلَتْ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ "، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ، وَلَا أَرْضٌ، وَلَا إِبِلٌ، كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: " لِيَأْخُذْ سَيْفَهُ، ثُمَّ لِيَعْمِدْ بِهِ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ، ثُمَّ لِيَدُقَّ عَلَى حَدِّهِ بِحَجَرٍ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاءَ، اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ " إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُخِذَ بِيَدِي مُكْرَهًا حَتَّى يُنْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ، أَوْ، ، إِحْدَى الْفِئَتَيْنِ عُثْمَانُ يَشُكُّ، (١) فَيَحْذِفُنِي رَجُلٌ بِسَيْفِهِ فَيَقْتُلَنِي، (٢) مَاذَا يَكُونُ مِنْ شَأْنِي؟ قَالَ: " يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِهِ، وَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ " (٣)،

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. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? He said this twice. A man asked, "O Prophet of Allah, may I be sacrificed for you, tell me, if someone forcibly grabs my hand and takes me into a row or group, and there a man attacks me with a sword and kills me, what will become of me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: That person will return with your sin and will be among the people of Hell.
