Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The leader of a fitnah (tribulation) will certainly enter Paradise, and the one who sides with him (the leader) will certainly enter Hell."
Al-Bazzar recorded it from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) both as a mawquf and as a marfu' narration; the narrators of the mawquf narration are the narrators of the Sahih, and the chain of the marfu' narration contains a narrator, Umar bin Habib, who is extremely da'if (weak).
