Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39906 — Those who disliked going out during

Abdullah bin al-Samit narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abu Dharr, tell me: if people fight until (the place) Hijarat al-Zayt is drowned in blood, what will you do?" Sayyiduna Abu Dharr said: I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Enter your home." Sayyiduna Abu Dharr said: I said: "Should I carry arms?" He said: "Then that is your own affair." Sayyiduna Abu Dharr said: I said: "What should I do, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you fear that the rays of the sun will overpower you, then throw your cloak over your face. He will return carrying your sin and his own sin." (The meaning is that if someone attacks even after coming into the home, do not respond; the attacker himself will return with the burden.)
