حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ، ، هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ ذَكَرُوا الْفِتْنَةَ - أَوْ ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ -، فَقَالَ (١) : " إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ، وَخَفَّتْ أَمَانَاتُهُمْ، وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا "، وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاكَ؟ قَالَ: " الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ، وَامْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ، وَخُذْ مَا تَعْرِفُ، وَدَعْ مَا تُنْكِرُ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِأَمْرِ خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ، وَدَعْ عَنْكَ أَمْرَ الْعَامَّةِ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting around the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when the mention of tribulations arose. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "This will happen when there is corruption in promises and trusts, and people will become like this (the narrator interlaced his fingers to demonstrate)." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What do you command me to do at that time?" He said: "Adhere to your house, control your tongue, adopt good deeds, avoid evil deeds, and keep company with the select few; protect yourself from the general masses."
