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

حدثنا ابن المبارك، عن حماد بن سلمة، عن علي بن زيد، عن أبي بردة بن أبي موسى، قال: دخلنا على محمد بن مسلمة بالربذة، فقلت له: ألا تخرج إلى الناس، فإنك في هذا الأمر بمكان يسمع منك؟ فقال: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إنه ستكون فتنة وفرقة، فاضرب بسيفك عرض أحد، وكسر نبلك، وقطع وترك، واقعد في بيتك» فقد فعلت ما أمرني به، وإذا سيف معلق بعمود الفسطاط، فأنزله فسله، فإذا سيف من خشب، ثم قال: قد فعلت بسيفي ما أمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهذا أعده أهيب به الناس

There will be strife and disunity, so strike with your sword the honor of someone, and break your arrow, and cut it down, and leave it, and sit in your house, for I have done what he commanded me to do. And lo, there was a sword hanging on the pillar of the camp, so take it down and draw it, and lo, there was a sword made of wood. Then he said: I have done with my sword what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to do.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #398 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]: 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.
