It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated it as a saying of the Prophet (marfu'), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Trials will come upon you like pieces of the dark night; (at that time) a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. One of you will sell his religion for a paltry good of this world." I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then what should we do? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Break your hand." I said: What if it heals? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Break the other hand." I said: What if it heals? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Break your leg." I said: What if it heals? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Break the other leg." I said: Until when? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Until a sinful hand reaches you or a decisive death comes to you."
No one narrated this hadith from Burd bin Sinan (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abthar bin al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him).
