تلزم جماعة المسلمين وإمامهم قال: قلت: فإن لم يكن لهم إمام ولا جماعة؟ قال: فاعتزل تلك الفرق كلها، ولو أن تعض بأصل شجرة حتى يدركك الموت وأنت على ذلك

Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman:The people used to ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I said, 'Will there be any good after that evil?" He replied, "Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)'' I asked, "What will be its taint?" He replied, "(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others." I asked, "Will there be any evil after that good?" He replied, "Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you describe them to us?" He said, "They will be from our own people and will speak our language." I said, "What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?" He said, "Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler)." I said, "If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?" He said, "Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you are in that state

شر أئمتكم الذين تبغضونهم ويبغضونكم، وتلعنونهم ويلعنونكم قال: قلنا: يا رسول الله، أفلا ننابذهم عند ذلك؟ قال: أما ما أقاموا الصلاة فيكم فلا، ألا من ولي عليه وال فرآه يأتي شيئا من معصية الله فليكره ما يأتي من معصية الله، ولا ينزع يدا من طاعة

The worst of your imams are those whom you hate and they hate you, and you curse them and they curse you, as long as they establish prayer among you, no. Except for the one who is appointed over him and sees him committing any act of disobedience to Allah, let him hate what comes of disobedience to Allah, and not withdraw his hand from obedience.

والذي فلق الحبة، وبرأ النسمة، ما قتلت، ولا أمرت بقتله

By the one who split the grain and created the breeze, I did not kill him, nor did I order him to be killed

▸Chain

من قاتل تحت راية عمية يغضب لعصبية، أو ينصر عصبية، أو يدعو إلى عصبية، فقتل فقتلة جاهلية، ومن خرج على أمتي يضرب برها وفاجرها لا ينحاش من مؤمنها، ولا يفي لذي عهد عهدها، فليس مني، ولست منه

Whoever fights under the blind banner of fanaticism, or supports fanaticism, or calls for fanaticism, and is killed, then he is killed by ignorance, and whoever revolts against my nation, attacking its righteous and its ungodly, and does not deviate from its believer, nor fulfill its covenant with its covenant, then he is not of me, and I am not of him.

أنا فرطكم على الحوض، وإني مكاثر بكم الأمم، فلا تقتتلن بعدي

It was narrated from Sunabih Al-Ahmasi that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“I shall reach the Cistern (Haud) before you, and I will boast of your great numbers before the nations, so do not fight one another after I am gone.’”

ألا لا ترجعوا بعدي ضلالا، يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض

Do not return astray after me, striking the necks of one another

من حمل علينا السلاح فليس منا وقال أبو معاوية: من سل علينا السلاح

Narrated Abu Musa:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us

يمنعني أن الله تعالى حرم علي دم أخي المسلم ، قالا: أولم يقل الله تعالى: {وقاتلوهم حتى لا تكون فتنة ويكون الدين لله} [البقرة: 193] ؟ قال: فقد قاتلنا حتى لم تكن فتنة وكان الدين لله، فأنتم تريدون أن نقاتل حتى تكون فتنة ويكون الدين لغير الله

It prevents me from the fact that Allah Almighty has forbidden the blood of my Muslim brother to me. We fought until there was no strife and the religion was for Allah. You want us to fight until there is strife and the religion is for other than Allah.

إن دماءكم وأموالكم عليكم حرام، كحرمة يومكم هذا، في شهركم هذا، في بلدكم هذا

It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed said:“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, during the Farewell Pilgrimage: ‘Is not the most sacred of your days this day, is not the most sacred of your months this month, is not the most sacred of your lands this land? Your blood and your wealth are as sacred to you as this day of yours in this month of yours. Have I not conveyed (the message)?’ They said: ‘Yes.” He said: ‘O Allah, bear witness.’”

إن من ورائكم فتنا كقطع الليل المظلم، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ويمسي مؤمنا ويصبح كافرا، القاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم خير من الماشي، والماشي خير من الراكب ، قالوا: فما تأمرنا؟ قال: كونوا أحلاس البيوت

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).”

▸Chain

ألا لا ترجعن بعدي ضلالا، يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض، ألا ليبلغ الشاهد منكم الغائب، ألا إن دماءكم وأموالكم ، وأحسبه قال: وأعراضكم عليكم حرام، كحرمة يومكم هذا، في بلدكم هذا، في شهركم هذا، وستلقون ربكم فيسألكم عن أعمالكم، ألا فلا ترجعن بعدي ضلالا يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض، ألا ليبلغ الشاهد منكم الغائب

Don't you go back in error after me, striking the necks of one another, so that the witnesses among you may reach those who are absent. Verily, your blood, your money, and your honor are sacred to you, as sacred as this day of yours, in this country of yours, in this month of yours, and you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. So do you not return in error after me, striking the necks of some of you, so that the witnesses among you may reach the ones who are absent.

ويل للعرب من شر قد اقترب، من فتنة عمياء صماء بكماء، القاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم فيها خير من الماشي، والماشي فيها خير من الساعي، ويل للساعي فيها من الله تعالى يوم القيامة

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.
