Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1263 — he said: O people! I heard the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الْمُحَيَّاةِ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ : أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَقُولُ : إِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ فِتْنَةٌ بَاقِرَةٌ ، تَدَعُ الْحَلِيمَ حَيْرَانًا ، النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ ، وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي ، وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي . فَقَطِّعُوا أَوْتَارَكُمْ ، وَكَسِّرُوا السُّيُوفَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَّا أَبُو الْمُحَيَّاةِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : أَبُو هَمَّامٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Soon a devastating tribulation will come upon the people, which will leave even the forbearing man bewildered and confounded. In it, the one lying asleep will be better than the one sitting, the one sitting will be better than the one standing, the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running (towards it). So (in that time) cut the strings of your bows and break your swords with stones.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abd al-Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu al-Muhayyah (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abu Hammam (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it from him."
