وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟“، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِذَا مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا“، وَشَبَّكَ يُونُسُ (أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ) بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ يَصِفُ ذَاكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا أَصْنَعُ عِنْدَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: ”اتَّقِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَخُذْ مَا تَعْرِفُ، وَدَعْ مَا تُنْكِرُ، وَعَلَيْكَ بِخَاصَّتِكَ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَعَوَامَّهُمْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: What will be your condition when you remain among lowly people? I said: O Messenger of Allah! When will such circumstances arise? He said: When dishonesty enters into the promises and trusts of the Muslims, and they will become like this. Yunus, the narrator, explained this by interlacing his fingers. I said: O Messenger of Allah! What should I do at that time? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Keep fearing Allah, do good deeds, refrain from wrong actions, take care of your specific people, and avoid the general people.
