Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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).”

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

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

ما هذه إلا حيصة من حيصات الفتن، وبقيت الرداح المطبقة، من أشرف لها أشرفت له، القاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم خير من الماشي، والماشي خير من الساعي، والصامت خير من المتكلم، والنائم خير من المستيقظ

Busr bin Sa'eed said:During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "I testify that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running."' He said: "What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son

إن بعدكم فتنا، القاعد فيها خير من القائم، والقائم خير من الساعي، حتى ذكر الراكب، فكونوا فيها أحلاس بيوتكم

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than a walking one, and the walking one will be better than a running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it
