Silsilah as-Sahihah 2200 — Rulings for times of tribulation

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you see that the covenants of the people have become corrupt, their trusts have become light (and worthless), and they have become like this," and he interlaced his fingers. (The narrator) says: I stood up and went to him and said: May Allah make me your ransom! What should I do at that time? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep to your house, control your tongue, adopt what you recognize (as right) and leave what you find objectionable, concern yourself with your own affairs and leave aside the affairs of the general public."
