تكون فتن كقطع الليل المظلم، يتبع بعضها بعضا، تأتيكم مشتبهة كوجوه البقر، لا تدرون أيها من أي

There will be temptations like pieces of the dark night, one after the other. They will come to you like the faces of cows, and you will not know which one is from what.

نعم، أيما أهل بيت من العرب أو العجم أراد الله بهم خيرا أدخل عليهم الإسلام قال: ثم مه؟ قال: ثم تكون فتن كأنها الظلل فقال الرجل: كلا والله، إن شاء الله يا رسول الله، فقال رسول الله: بلى، والذي نفسي بيده، ثم لتعودن فيها أساود صبا، يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض قال الزهري: الأسود الحية إذا نهشت نزت ثم ترفع رأسها ثم تنصب

Yes, whether the family of a household, whether Arab or non-Arab, Allah wants good for them, He admits Islam to them. He said: Then what? He said: Then there will be tribulations as if they were shadows, and the man said: No, by Allah, Allah willing, O Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said: Yes, by the One in whose hand is my soul. Then you will return to it black in the morning, striking each other’s necks. Al-Zuhri said: When lions bite, they emerge, then raise their heads and then stand up.

إن بعدكم فتنا كقطع الليل المظلم، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ويمسي مؤمنا ويصبح كافرا

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Before the Hour comes, there will be tribulation like pieces of black night, when a man will wake up as a believer but be a disbeliever by evening, or he will be a believer in the evening but will be a disbeliever by morning. 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 will be better than the one who is running. So break your bows, cut their strings and strike your swords against rocks, and if anyone enters upon anyone of you, let him be like the better of the two sons of Adam. (i.e. the one killed, not the killer).”

بين يدي الساعة فتن كقطع الليل المظلم، يمسي الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويصبح كافرا، ويصبح مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، يبيع أحدهم دينه بعرض من الدنيا قليل

At the hands of the Hour there is temptation like pieces of a dark night. A man will be a believer in the evening and become an unbeliever, and he will be a believer in the morning and be a disbeliever in the evening. Someone will sell his religion for a small offer of this world.

هذه فتن قد أظلت كقطع الليل المظلم، كلما ذهب منها رسل بدا رسل آخر، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ويمسي مؤمنا ويصبح كافرا، يبيع فيها أقوام دينهم بعرض من الدنيا قليل

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:"Before the Hour there shall be Fitan like a portion of the dark night. Morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning, people will sell their religion for goods of the world

ستكون فتن في أمتي حتى يفارق الرجل فيها أباه وأخاه، حتى يعير الرجل ببلائه كما تعير الزانية بزناها

There will be tribulations in my nation until a man is separated from his father and brother, until a man is reproached for his calamity just as an adulteress is reproached for her adultery.

فتنة الرجل في أهله، وماله، وولده، وجاره، تكفرها الصلاة، والصدقة، والأمر بالمعروف، والنهي عن المنكر فقال: ليس عن هذا أسألك، ولكن عن التي تموج كموج البحر، فقلت: لا تخف يا أمير المؤمنين، فإن بينك وبينها بابا مغلقا، قال: فيكسر الباب أو يفتح؟ قال: قلت: بل يكسر، فقال عمر: إذا لا يغلق أبدا، قلت: أجل، قال: قلنا: فهل يعلم عمر من الباب؟ قال: نعم، كما يعلم أن دون غد ليلة، وذلك أني حدثته حديثا ليس بالأغاليط ، قال شقيق: فهبنا أن نسأله: من الباب؟ فأمرنا مسروقا فسأله، فقال: الباب عمر

The temptation of a man regarding his family, his wealth, his children, and his neighbour, is expiated by prayer, charity, enjoining good, and forbidding evil. He said: I am not asking you about this, but about the one that waves like the waves of the sea. I said: Do not be afraid, O Commander of the Faithful, for there is a closed door between you and it. He said: Will the door be broken or opened? He said: I said: Rather, it will be broken. Omar said: Then it will never close. I said: Yes. He said: We said: Does Omar know from the door? He said: Yes, just as he knows that there is a night before tomorrow, and that is because I told him a hadith that is not full of errors. Shaqiq said: So we decided to ask him: From the door? So we ordered Masruq and asked him, and he said: The door is Omar

فتنة الرجل في أهله، وماله، وجاره، يكفر ذلك الصوم، والصلاة، والصدقة ، فقال عمر: ليس هذا أريد، ولكن قوله في الفتنة التي تموج كموج البحر يتبع بعضها بعضا، قال: قلت: فلا تخفها يا أمير المؤمنين، فإن بينك وبينها بابا مغلقا، فقال: كيف بالباب، أيفتح أو يكسر؟ قال: بل يكسر، ثم لا يغلق إلى يوم القيامة

A man's temptation in his family, his money, and his neighbour, is expiated by fasting, prayer, and charity. Omar said: This is not what I want, but what he said about the temptation that ripples like the waves of the sea following one another. He said: I said: Do not fear it, O Commander of the Faithful, for there is a closed door between you and it. So he said: How about the door? Will it be opened or broken? He said: Rather, it will be broken, then it will not be closed until the Day of Resurrection
