حدثنا عبد الوهاب، عن يحيى بن سعيد، قال: أخبرني عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن أبي صعصعة، سمع أباه، يحدث، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «يوشك أن يكون خير مال امرئ غنم يتبع بها شعف الجبال، أو شعب الجبال، أو مواقع القطر، يفر بدينه من الفتن»

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #723 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]: A time will come when a believer's safest wealth is a flock of sheep he keeps on the mountain tops, fleeing with his religion from the trials of the towns.

[Described Characteristics]: Abu Sa'id al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will come a time when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep that he takes to the tops of mountains and the places of rainfall, fleeing with his religion from tribulations' (Sahih al-Bukhari 19, 6495, 7088).

[Timeline & Context]: Describes times of widespread fitnah; it recurs rather than marking a single dated moment.

[Prophetic Practice]: Hold your faith dearer than your standing or wealth; when trials cannot be stilled, withdraw enough to protect your religion without abandoning your duties to others.

[Corroborating & Parallel Hadiths]: Related narrations in the corpus: Sahih al-Bukhari (7088), Sunan Ibn Majah (3980).
