Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7247 — Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, while he was
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَ أَبُو مُوسَى - وَهُوَ بِالدَّيْرِ مِنْ أَصْبَهَانَ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ الْهَرْجَ » . قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : « الْقَتْلُ » قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : وَاللهِ إِنَّا لَنَقْتُلُ فِي الْعَامِ الْوَاحِدِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ . قَالَ : فَقَالَ : « وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ بِقَتْلِكُمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَتْلُ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضًا » . قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : وَفِينَا كِتَابُ اللهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - ، وَمَعَنَا عُقُولُنَا ؟ قَالَ : « وَفِيكُمْ كِتَابُ اللهِ » . قَالَ : « إِنَّكُمْ لَتَرَوُنَّ أَنَّ مَعَكُمْ عُقُولَكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ تُنْزَعُ عُقُولُ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ ، وَيَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، وَيَخْلُفُ لَهُ هَبَاءٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ ، وَلَيْسُوا فِي شَيْءٍ » قَالَ : فَقُلْنَا : مَا الْمَنْجَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مِنْهَا مَنْجًى - إِنْ هِيَ أَدْرَكَتْنَا - فِيمَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا نَبِيُّنَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِلَّا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا كَيَوْمَ دَخَلْنَاهَا .
Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was staying at al-Dayr, a place in Isfahan, narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Before the Hour there will be 'harj'." We said: (O Messenger of Allah!) What is meant by 'harj'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Killing." We said: By Allah! We already kill more than seventy thousand polytheists in a single year. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! It does not mean the killing of polytheists; rather it is your killing one another." We said: Will the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, be among us at that time, and will our minds be sound? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Book of Allah will be among you." Then he said: "You will think that your minds are with you, whereas the minds of most of the people of that time will be taken away. They will think that they are on some (true) path, whereas they will not be on anything (true). And after them will come worthless, low people who will think that they are on something (true), whereas they will not be on anything (true)." The narrator said: We said: What is the way of escape from this situation? Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If that tribulation reaches us, then, in what our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) enjoined upon us, I find no way of escape from it for myself and for you except that we come out of it just as (unstained as) we entered it."
