The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “After I am gone there will be a dispute or something; if you can adopt a peaceful stance, then do so.”  

أحمد:٦٩٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَافُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي النُّمَيْرِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي اخْتِلافٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ السِّلْمَ فَافْعَلْ
