Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40404 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Nu'aym bin Abi Hind that Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) set out from Kufah with drops of water falling from his head (because of a ritual bath), intending to enter the state of ihram. The people said to him: "Give us your advice." He said: "O people! Suspect your own opinion, for I saw myself resolving to strike with my sword in disobedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." The people said: "Give us (more) advice." He said: "Hold fast to the community, for Allah will not gather the nation of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) upon misguidance." They said: "Give us (more) advice." He said: "Hold fast to the fear of Allah and to patience, until a righteous person finds rest or rest is found from a wicked one."
