Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Abdullah bin Amr! What will become of you when you are left among lowly and inferior people, whose covenants and trusts will become corrupted, who will fall into discord and division, and who will become mixed up in such a way?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated by intertwining the fingers of his hands. I said: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you command me to do in such circumstances?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take care of yourself and do not get involved in the affairs of the common people."
