قال: وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن بين أيديكم فتنا كقطع الليل المظلم. يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ويمسي مؤمنا، ويصبح كافرا. القاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم فيها خير من الماشي، والماشي فيها خير من الساعي ". قالوا: فما تأمرنا؟ قال: " كونوا أحلاس بيوتكم "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #19662 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.
