Hadith 1609

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ عِنْدَ فِتْنَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي ، وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي " ، قَالَ : أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي ، فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَيَّ لِيَقْتُلَنِي ؟ قَالَ : " كُنْ كَابْنِ آدَمَ " .
Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said during the time of trial faced by Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him): I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A time of tribulations will soon come, in which the one who sits will be better than the one who stands, the one who stands will be better than the one who walks, and the one who walks will be better than the one who runs.” The narrator asked: If someone enters my house and extends his hand to kill me, what should I do? He replied: “Be like the son of Adam (Habil).”
