حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ الشَّحَّامِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ يَكُونُ الْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرًا مِنَ الْجَالِسِ ، وَالْجَالِسُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْمَاشِي ، وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرًا مِنَ السَّاعِي ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ قَالَ : مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ ، قَالَ : فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ فَلْيَضْرِبْ بِحَدِّهِ عَلَى حَرَّةٍ ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاءَ " .
Narrated Abu Bakrah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There will be a period of commotion in which the one who lies down will be better than the one who sits, and the one who sits is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who runs (to it). He asked: What do you command me to do, Messenger of Allah? He replied: He who has camels should remain with his camels, he who has sheep should remain with his sheep, and he who has land should remain with his land. He asked: If anyone has more of these, (what should he do)? He replied: He should take his sword, strike its edge on a stone, and then escape if he can.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The greatest tribulation will be that ordinary people, having become irreligious and following their own desires, will pursue temporary benefits and will compel others to do the same.
In such circumstances, there will be no solution except the aforementioned remedy: that a person flees from populated areas and from those who spread corruption. There will be no other recourse.
