عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ أُرَاهُ قَالَ ”قَدْ يَذْهَبُ فِيهَا النَّاسُ أَسْرَعَ ذِهَابٍ“ قَالَ فَقِيلَ أَكُلُّهُمْ هَالِكٌ أَمْ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ ”حَسْبُهُمْ أَوْ بِحَسْبِهِمُ الْقَتْلُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Saeed bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned tribulations like the darkness of dark nights. I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: In these tribulations, people will perish very quickly. Someone asked: Will all of them be destroyed or only some of them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Their being killed will be enough for them.
