[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe to the Arabs from the evil that has approached. It is a trial like the darkest part of the night. A man will wake up as a believer and go to sleep as a disbeliever, selling his religion for a meager worldly gain. On that day, holding onto one's religion will be like holding onto hot coals or thorns." He ﷺ said, "Hasan in his narration, 'the prick of the thorn.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ قَوْمٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ الْمُتَمَسِّكُيَوْمَئِذٍ بِدِينِهِ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى الشَّوْكِ قَالَ حَسَنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ خَبَطِ الشَّوْكِ

"وَيلٌ لِلعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ، فِتَنٌ كقِطَعِ اللَّيلِ الْمُظلِم، يُصبحُ الرَّجُلُ فيهَا مُؤْمِنًا، وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا، يبيعُ دينَه مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِعَرَضٍ قَلِيلٍ، المُتَمَسِّكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى دِينهِ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى خَبْطِ الشَّوكِ، أَوْ جَمْرِ العِضَاهِ".
