Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

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.

ستكون فتن ، قلنا: يا أبا عبد الله، فما تأمرنا؟ قال: الأرض الأرض، ليكن أحدكم حلس بيته، فإنه لا ينبجس لها أحد إلا أذرته

There will be temptations on earth, so let one of you protect his house, for no one will be exposed to it except his offspring

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).”

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
