قَالَ : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِتَنًا ، كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا ، وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا ، وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا ، وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا ، الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي ، وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي " ، قَالُوا : فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ قَالَ : " كُونُوا أَحْلَاسَ بُيُوتِكُمْ " .
And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There are coming trials ahead of you like the dark portions of the night. In that time, a man will be a Muslim in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, or he will be a Muslim in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. In that time, the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: "Then what do you command us to do?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Become like the mat of your house."
