عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُعُودًا نَذْكُرُ الْفِتَنَ فَأَكْثَرَ ذِكْرَهَا حَتَّى ذَكَرَ فِتْنَةَ الْأَحْلَاسِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ قَالَ ”فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ هِيَ فِتْنَةُ هَرْبٍ وَحَرْبٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّاءِ دَخَلُهَا أَوْ دَفَعُهَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مِنِّي وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي إِنَّمَا وَلِيِّيَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ثُمَّ يَصْطَلِحُ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَوَرِكٍ عَلَى ضِلَعٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ الدُّهَيْمَاءِ لَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لَطَمَتْهُ لَطْمَةً فَإِذَا قِيلَ انْقَطَعَتْ تَمَادَّتْ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا حَتَّى يَصِيرَ النَّاسُ إِلَى فُسْطَاطَيْنِ فُسْطَاطِ إِيمَانٍ لَا نِفَاقَ فِيهِ وَفُسْطَاطِ نِفَاقٍ لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنَ الْيَوْمِ أَوْ غَدٍ“
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing tribulations. He also mentioned many tribulations, including the tribulation of Ahlaas. A man asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the tribulation of Ahlaas? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tribulation of Ahlaas refers to a time of war, conflict, and destruction. Then the tribulation of prosperity and ease will emerge; its beginning, end, leadership, and responsibility will be in the hands of a man who, according to his own assumption, will be from me, but he will not be from me. My friends are only the pious people. Then people will make peace with a person who will not be permanently fit or worthy of kingship. After that, a tribulation consisting of dreadful calamity and disaster will appear; it will shake every individual of this Ummah. When it will be said that the tribulation has ended, it will intensify and come forth even more. A person will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening. People will split into two groups: one group will be of believers, in which there will be no hypocrisy, and the other group will be of hypocrites, in which there will be no faith. When the matter reaches this point, then await the Dajjal; he may come that very day, or he may come the next day.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... The plural of "hils" is "ahlaas." Its meaning is: the cloth that is placed under the saddle, in contact with the camel’s back. The reason for this naming is that this tribulation (fitnah) will persist for a long time and will not come to an end, just as this cloth remains attached to the camel’s back. It is also possible that the comparison is made to the blackness and darkness of this cloth. Imam Khattabi rahimahullah said: The phrase "like a saddle on a rib" is not meant literally, because a rib does not rest upon the hip. This is a proverb, meaning: a matter that is neither stable nor upright. The intent of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was that such a person would be neither fit for kingship nor permanently qualified for it.
