حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ عِنْدَ فِتْنَةِ عُثْمَانَ : أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ ، الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي ، وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي » قَالَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ لِيَقْتُلَنِي ؟ قَالَ : « كُنْ كَابْنِ آدَمَ » .
It is narrated from Busr bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said at the time of the trial of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him): "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'There will soon be a trial in which the one sitting will be better than the one standing, the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running.'" It was asked: "Tell me, what if someone enters my house and stretches out his hand to kill me?" He said: "Be like the (righteous) son of Adam."
