Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا ابن المبارك، عن معمر، عن إسحاق بن راشد، عن عمرو بن وابصة الأسدي، عن أبيه، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «تكون فتنة النائم فيها خير من المضطجع، والمضطجع فيها خير من القاعد، والقاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم خير من الماشي، والماشي خير من الراكب، والراكب خير من المجري، قتلاها كلها في النار» قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، ومتى ذلك؟ قال: «أيام الهرج» قال: قلت: ومتى أيام الهرج؟ قال: «حين لا يأمن الرجل جليسه» قال: قلت: فبم تأمرني إن أدركت ذلك؟ قال: «اكفف نفسك ويدك، وادخل دارك» قال: قلت: يا رسول الله، أرأيت إن دخل علي داري؟ قال: «فادخل بيتك» قال: قلت: إن دخل علي بيتي؟ قال: «فادخل مسجدك، ثم اصنع هكذا» ثم قبض بيمينه على الكوع، " وقل: ربي الله، حتى تقتل على ذلك "

The tribulation of the sleeper will be better than the one who is lying down, and the one who is lying down will be better than the one who is sitting, and the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking is better than the one who is riding, and the one who is riding is better than the one who is running. They will all be killed in Hell. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, and when will that be? He said: The days of Harj. He said: I said: When are the days of Harj? He said: When a man does not trust his companion. He said: I said: What do you order me to do if I realize that? He said: Restrain yourself and your hand, and enter your house. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if he enters my house? He said: Then enter your house. He said: I said: If he enters my house? He said: Then enter your mosque, then do like this, then he held the elbow with his right hand, and say: My Lord is Allah, until you are killed for that.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #342 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: Al-harj means much killing. The Prophet ﷺ said it will increase before the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: Killing becomes so common that the killer does not know why he killed and the victim does not know why he was killed.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads among people over time, alongside other signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: In times of fitnah the Prophet ﷺ advised: be like the better of Adam's two sons, the one who is killed rather than the one who kills.

[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.
