حدثنا علي بن بحر، قال: حدثنا محمد بن حمير الحمصي، قال: حدثنا ثابت بن عجلان، قال: سمعت أبا كثير المحاربي، يقول: سمعت خرشة، يقول: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " ستكون من بعدي فتنة، النائم فيها خير من اليقظان، والقاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم فيها خير من الساعي، فمن أتت عليه فليمش بسيفه إلى صفاة فليضربه بها حتى ينكسر، ثم ليضطجع لها حتى تنجلي عما انجلت "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #17010 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ warned of trials (fitan) that will come like pieces of a dark night, one after another, so confusing that a man is a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening.

[Described Characteristics]: People sell their religion for a small worldly gain. In such trials, the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing better than the one running toward it.

[Timeline & Context]: They began after the Prophet's ﷺ death and continue in waves.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hasten to good deeds before trials like pieces of a dark night.' Seek refuge from the trials, the seen and the unseen.
