46. Book of Tribulations and Great Wars
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ وَالْمَلَاحِمِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, there will be a trial in which the one who sits is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who runs, and the one who runs is better than the one who rides, and the one who rides is better than the one who stays still." This hadith is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, and it has not been mentioned by them. This has become a major topic, and they have not mentioned it. Only Abu Dawud, one of the scholars of this knowledge, has mentioned it according to the conditions of Muslim.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي وَالسَّاعِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ وَالرَّاكِبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُوضِعِ» وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ قَدْ صَارَ هَذَا بَابٌ كَبِيرٌ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ وَإِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَحَدُ أَئِمَّةِ هَذَا الْعِلْمِ على شرط مسلم
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Affairs do not increase except in severity, and religion does not retreat except in defeat. And people will not become anything but greedy, and the Hour will not come except upon the worst of people. And there will be no Mahdi except Jesus son of Mary." Saamit ibn Mu'adh said, "I traveled to Al-Jannad, which is a two-day journey from Sana'a, and I visited a group of narrators. I asked them about this hadith, and I found it with Muhammad ibn Khalid Al-Jannadi from Abaan ibn Abi Ayyash from Al-Hasan from the Prophet ﷺ , with a similar wording. Some parts of this content have also been narrated by Abd al-Aziz ibn Suhayb from Anas ibn Malik from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزْدَادُ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَلَا الدِّينُ إِلَّا إِدْبَارًا وَلَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا شُحًّا وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ وَلَا مَهْدِيَّ إِلَّا عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ» قَالَ صَامِتُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى الْجَنَدِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَدِّثٍ لَهُمْ فَطَلَبْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عِنْدَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجَنَدِيُّ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بَعْضُ هَذَا الْمَتْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
