46. Book of Tribulations and Great Wars
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ وَالْمَلَاحِمِ
“You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected (separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4038)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, you will be sifted just as dates are sifted from their husks. So the best among you will go and the worst among you will remain until only those who Allah does not care about will remain, so die if you can."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى إِلَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
“You will be picked over just as (good) dates are selected (separated) from its bad ones. So the best of you will be taken and the worst of you will be left, so die if you can.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4038)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَتُنْتَقَيَنَّ كَمَا يُنْتَقَى التَّمْرُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبَنَّ خِيَارُكُمْ وَلَيَبْقَيَنَّ شِرَارُكُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى إِلَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْبَأُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ فَمُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The time will come when people will be sifted and only the refuse of people will remain; their covenants and trusts will be broken, and they will differ and be like this." And he interlaced his fingers. They said, "So, how should we act, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You should take what you know and leave what you deny, and you should adhere to your own affairs and leave the general matters." Sa'id bin Mansur said, "The refuse of people is their despicability, and the meaning of his statement 'their covenants will be broken' is that they will not fulfill them."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ زَمَانٌ يُغَرْبَلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ غَرْبَلَةً وَيَبْقَى حُثَالَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَاخْتَلَفُوا وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالُوا فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تَأْخُذُونَ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ وَتَدَعُونَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ وَتُقْبِلُونَ عَلَى أَمْرِ خَاصَّتِكُمْ وَتَدَعُونَ أَمْرَ عَامَّتِكُمْ» قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حُثَالَةُ النَّاسِ رَدَاءَتَهُمْ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ إِذْ لَمْ يَفُوا بِهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established until Allah Almighty takes away the righteous people from the earth and only the wicked people remain who do not know goodness or forbid evil."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ اللَّهُ ﷻ شَرِيطَتَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَيَبْقَى عَجَاجٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا»
[Machine] "The rulers will oppress you and Allah will punish them." According to the conditions of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
«يَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ يُعَذِّبُونَكُمْ وَيُعَذِّبُهُمُ اللَّهُ»
[Machine] "You will remain in goodness as long as you do not have rulers who do not see your rights except when they want."
«لَا تَزَالُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ لَا يَرَوْنَ لَكُمْ حَقًّا إِلَّا إِذَا شَاءُوا»
If you live for a time, you would certainly see people get up (in the morning) in the wrath of Allah and getting into the evening under the curse of Allah, and there would be in their hands (whips) like the tail of an ox. (Using translation from Muslim 2857b)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ مُدَّةٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَرَى قَوْمًا يَغْدُونَ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَيَرُوحُونَ فِي لَعَنْتِهِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِثْلُ أَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying in his sermon, "O people, you will soon come to know the people of Paradise from the people of the Fire, or he said, the best of you from the worst of you." A man from the people asked, "How, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "By good and bad praise. You are witnesses for one another."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَوْ قَالَ خِيَارَكُمْ مِنْ شِرَارِكُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «بِالثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ وَالثَّنَاءِ السَّيِّئِ أَنْتُمْ شُهُودٌ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be men in the later part of this nation who will ride on saddles of bones until they reach the doors of their mosques. Their women will be clothed yet naked, with their heads like the humps of camels. Curse them for they are cursed! If there were a nation that came after you, they would serve them as the women of the previous nations served you." So, I asked my father, "What are the saddles of bones?" He said, "They are the means of transportation made of bones."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ رِجَالٌ يَرْكَبُونَ عَلَى الْمَيَاثِرِ حَتَّى يَأْتُوا أَبْوَابَ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ نِسَاؤُهُمْ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْعِجَافِ الْعَنُوهُنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مَلْعُونَاتٌ لَوْ كَانَتْ وَرَاءَكُمْ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَخَدَمَهُمْ كَمَا خَدَمَكُمْ نِسَاءُ الْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَمَا الْمَيَاثِرُ؟ قَالَ «سُرُوجًا عِظَامًا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "In this Ummah (nation), in the end of time, there will emerge men with whips resembling the tails of cows. They will arise in the anger of Allah and depart in His wrath."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَخْرُجُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ رِجَالٌ مَعَهُمْ أَسْيَاطٌ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْبَقَرِ يَغْدُونَ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَيَرُوحُونَ فِي غَضَبِهِ»
[Machine] "Indeed, a man may leave his house with his religion, but he returns without possessing anything from it. Another man comes to him who does not bring him any harm or benefit. He swears by Allah that you have granted him what you have not given. He returns with nothing of his need, although Allah becomes angry with him."
«إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ وَمَعَهُ دِينُهُ فَيَرْجِعُ وَمَا مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْهُ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلَ لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُ وَلَا لِنَفْسِهِ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا فَيُقْسِمُ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَذَيْتَ وَذَيْتَ فَيَرْجِعُ مَا خَلَّى مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَقَدْ أَسْخَطَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "By the One who sent me with the truth, this world will not come to an end until there occurs among them sinking, disfigurement, and pelting." They asked, "When is that, O Prophet of Allah?" He replied, "When you see women riding on saddles, and singing girls becoming prevalent, and false testimonies being accepted, and Muslims drinking alcohol in the vessels of the people of polytheism made of gold and silver, and men becoming content with men, and women becoming content with women, then seek forgiveness and prepare yourselves." And he said so while covering his face with his hand.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَا تَنْقَضِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَقَعَ بِهُمُ الْخَسْفُ وَالْمَسْخُ وَالْقَذْفُ» قَالُوا وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي؟ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ قَدْ رَكِبْنَ السُّرُوجَ وَكَثُرَتِ الْقَيْنَاتُ وَشُهِدَ شَهَادَاتُ الزُّورِ وَشَرِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي آنِيَةِ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَاسْتَغْنَى الرِّجَالُ بِالرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءُ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَاسْتَدْفِرُوا وَاسْتَعِدُّوا» وَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ وَسَتَرَ وَجْهَهُسليمان هو اليمامي ضعفوه والخبر منكر
[Machine] In this nation, there are five trials. The first is a general trial, then a specific trial, followed by another general trial, and then another specific trial. Eventually, there will come a trial that is blind, deaf, and dumb, in which people become like animals.
جُعِلَتْ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَمْسُ فِتَنٍ فِتْنَةٌ عَامَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ خَاصَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ عَامَّةٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ خَاصَّةٌ ثُمَّ تَأْتِي الْفِتْنَةُ الْعَمْيَاءُ الصَّمَّاءُ الْمُطْبِقَةُ الَّتِي تَصِيرُ النَّاسُ فِيهَا كَالْأَنْعَامِ
[Machine] "I approached Hudhayfah and Ibn Mas'ud while they were talking in the mosque. They mentioned the tribulation, and Ibn Mas'ud said, 'I have never seen a time where bloodshed did not occur in it. A person can wake up as a believer and go to bed as a disbeliever, or wake up as a disbeliever and go to bed as a believer. He fights in the tribulation today, and Allah kills him tomorrow, and he dies as a hypocrite before that. So, be prepared!' Hudhayfah said, 'You have spoken the truth. This is exactly what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ informed us about regarding the tribulation.'"
دَفَعْتُ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَذَكَرُوا الْفِتْنَةَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى تَرْتَدَّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهَا لَمْ يُهَرَاقَ فِيهَا مِحْجَمَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُصْبِحُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ الْيَوْمَ وَيَقْتُلُهُ اللَّهُ غَدًا يَنْكُسُ قَبْلَهُ فَتَعْلُوا اسْتُهُ» فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ صَدَقْتَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon people when a person will have to choose between helplessness and immorality. So, whoever witnesses that time, let him choose helplessness over immorality."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يُخَيَّرُ فِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْفُجُورِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَلْيَخْتَرِ الْعَجْزَ عَلَى الْفُجُورِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A time will come upon the people in which a person will have to choose between weakness and indecency. So whoever among you reaches that time, should choose weakness over indecency."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يُخَيَّرُ فِيهِ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْفُجُورِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْكُمْ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ فَلْيَخْتَرِ الْعَجْزَ عَلَى الْفُجُورِ»
"Rush to do good deeds. A Fitnah will occur that is like a portion of the dark night, morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning. One of them will sell his religion for goods of the world." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2195)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيُغْشِيَنَّ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ»
"Before the Hour there shall be Fitan like a portion of the dark night. Morning will come upon a man as a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the evening, and evening will come upon a believer, who will be a disbeliever in the morning, people will sell their religion for goods of the world." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2197)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
ʿUmar bin al-Khattab gave a speech and said: O people, we used to know you when the Prophet ﷺ was among us and revelation was coming down to him; Allah would tell us about you. But now the Prophet ﷺ has passed away and revelation has ceased, and now the way to judge you is this whoever among you shows us good conduct, we will think well of him and love him; whoever among you shows us bad conduct, we will think badly of him and hate him for that, and whatever is in your hearts is between you and your Lord. There was a time when I used to think that whoever learned the Qurʿan, seeking thereby Allah and (the reward that) is with Him, would be rewarded in the Hereafter, but some men learned Qurʿan seeking that which is with people. So seek Allah by learning Qurʿan and by your good deeds. By Allah, I do not send my workers to strike you or seize your wealth; rather I send them to you to teach you your religion and Sunnah, whoever has done to him something other than that, let him refer it to me, for by the One in Whose hand is my soul, I shall surely grant him retaliation. ʿAmr bin al-ʿAs stood up and said: O Ameer al Muʿmineen, do you think if one of the Muslims was in charge of some people and he disciplined one of them, would you allow that one to settle the score with him? He said: Yes, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of ʿUmar, I would not certainly allow him to settle the score with him. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do that with regard to himself. But do not strike the Muslims and thus humiliate them, and do not keep them away from their wives on campaign for too long and thus expose them to temptation. Do not withhold from them their due rights and cause them to rebel; and do not make them camp in an area with a lot of trees, because that will cause them to be scattered. It was narrated that ‘Abul-ʿAjfaʿ as-Sulami said: I heard ‘Umar say: Do not make womenʿs dowries expensive,... and he mentioned the same hadeeth. (Using translation from Aḥmad 286)
عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ «أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْرِفُكُمْ إِذْ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِذْ يَنْزِلُ الْوَحْيُ وَإِذْ بَيْنَنَا مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ أَلَا وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِ انْطَلَقَ وَرُفِعَ الْوَحْيُ وَإِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُكُمْ بِمَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ أَلَا وَمَنْ يُظْهِرُ مِنْكُمْ خَيْرًا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ خَيْرًا وَأَحْبَبْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ يُظْهِرُ مِنْكُمْ شَرًّا ظَنَنَّا بِهِ شَرًّا وَأَبْغَضْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ سَرَائِرُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ رَبِّكُمْ أَلَا وَقَدْ أَتَى عَلَيَّ زَمَانٌ وَأَنَا أَحْسَبُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَمَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَقَدْ خُيِّلَ إِلَيَّ بِآخِرَهِ أَنَّ قَوْمًا يَقْرَأُونَهُ يُرِيدُونَ مَا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ أَلَا فَأَرِيدُوا مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بِقِرَاءَتِكُمْ وَبِعَمَلِكُمْ أَلَا وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا أَبْعَثُ عُمَّالِي لِيَضْرِبُوا أَبْشَارَكُمْ وَيَأْخُذُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَبْعَثُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَسُنَنَكُمْ وَيَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَكُمْ وَيَقْسِمُوا فِيكُمْ فَيْئَكُمْ أَلَا مَنْ فُعِلَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيُرَافِعُهُ إِلَيَّ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عُمَرَ بِيَدِهِ لَأَقُصَّهُ مِنْهُ» فَوَثَبَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانَ عَلَى رَعِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّبَ بَعْضَ رَعِيَّتِهِ إِنَّكَ لَمُقِصُّهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ «وَمَا لِي لَا أَقُصُّهُ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُصُّ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَلَا لَا تَضْرِبُوهُمْ فَتُذِلُّوهُمْ وَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَتُكَفِّرُوهُمْ وَلَا تُجْبِرُوهُمْ فَتَفْتِنُوهُمْ وَلَا تُنْزِلُوهُمُ الْغِيَاضَ فَتُضَيِّعُوهُمْ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Woe unto the Arabs from the evil that is approaching! If you can (prepare yourselves)."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مُوتُوا إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»
[Machine] "The Fitna (strife) erupted, and the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were ten thousand, out of whom only forty were not afraid. Two hundred and forty-four men stood with Ali, among them Abu Ayyub, Sahl ibn Hunayf, and Ammar ibn Yasir, who were all from the people of Badr."
«ثَارَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ لَمْ يَخْفَ فِيهَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا وَقَفَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ مِائَتَانِ وَبِضْعَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say, "Matters only grow in intensity, wealth only increases in abundance, and the Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established except on the worst among His creatures."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزْدَادُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا الْمَالُ إِلَّا إِفَاضَةً وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: Before you there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening. He who sits during them will be better than he who gets up, and he who gets up during them is better than he who walks, and he who walks during them is better than he who runs. They (the people) said: What do you order us to do? He replied: Keep to your houses. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4262)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «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 إِلَيْهَا» قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «كُونُوا أَحْلَاسَ بُيُوتِكُمْ»
