كتاب الفتن وأشراط الساعةThe Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour
باب لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ بِقَبْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَكَانَ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْبَلاَءِ:Chapter: The Hour Will Not Begin Until A Man Passes By Another Man's Grave And Wishes That He Was In The Place Of The Deceased, Because Of Calamity
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يُهْلِكُ أُمَّتِي هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ " ، قَالُوا : فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ اعْتَزَلُوهُمْ " ،
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: This tribe of the Quraish would kill (people) of my Ummah. They (the Companions) said: What do you order us to do (in such a situations)? Thereupon he said: Would that the people remain aside from them (and not besmear their hand with the blood of the Muslim).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith is also a proof of prophethood because in it, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made a prophecy about the future which was fulfilled word for word.
➋
In the hadith, (لَوْ) is for a conditional statement, meaning that if people keep themselves apart from them, it will be better for them.
In this hadith, the immature and inexperienced among the Quraysh are intended—those who will be hungry for power and, in their desire for dominion, will not refrain from killing and bloodshed. According to the Prophetic instruction, in such circumstances, instead of confronting the ruler of the time, one should be concerned with safeguarding one’s religion, because preserving faith is of utmost importance.
