Hadith 18295

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلَاقَةَ ، عَنْ عَرْفَجَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " تَكُونُ هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ ، فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ أَمْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَهُمْ جَمِيعٌ ، فَاضْرِبُوهُ بِالسَّيْفِ ، كَائِنًا مَنْ كَانَ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Urfajah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon there will be turmoil and tribulations, so whoever seeks to create division among the Muslims "while they are united and in agreement," then strike his neck with the sword, whoever he may be. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
