ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين يدي الساعة فتنة ، ثم قال أبو موسى: والذي نفسي بيده، ما لي ولكم منها مخرج إن أدركناها فيما عهد إلينا نبينا إلا أن نخرج منها كما دخلناها، لا نحدث فيها شيئا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned that there is a trial before the Hour, then Abu Musa said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, you and I have no way out of it if we reach it in what our Prophet has entrusted us with, unless we leave it as we entered it, without creating anything in it.

لا تذهب الليالي والأيام حتى يجتمع أمر هذه الأمة على رجل واسع السرم، ضخم البلعم، يأكل ولا يشبع وهو معاوية، فعلمت أن أمر الله تعالى واقع، وخفت أن تجري بيني وبينه الدماء، والله ما يسرني بعد إذ سمعت هذا الحديث أن لي الدنيا وما طلعت عليه الشمس والقمر، وأني لقيت الله تعالى بمحجمة دم امرئ مسلم ظلما

The nights and days would not pass until the affairs of this nation were gathered around a man with a large stature and a large mouth, who ate without being satisfied, and he was Muawiyah. So I knew that the command of Allah Almighty would be fulfilled, and I feared that blood would flow between me and him. By Allah, I was not pleased after I heard this hadith that I had this world and what the sun and moon had risen upon, and that I met Allah Almighty by unjustly cupping the blood of a Muslim man.

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.

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.

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).”
