Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Eight years after the Hijrah, in the ninth year, we were sitting in the gathering of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a number of his Companions, among whom were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Talhah, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr, Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf, Sayyiduna Mu'adh, Sayyiduna Hudhayfah and Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them). Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be ransomed for you, tell us something about the trials (fitan)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hudhayfah! Remember that soon a time will come upon my Ummah in which the one sitting (during the trial) will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking. The killer and the killed (in the trial) will both be in the Fire."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
