٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الْفِتَنِ وَالْمَلَاحِمِ
[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Verily, My Lord expanded the earth for me until I saw its easts and wests, and He gave me the red and white treasures, and indeed my nation will reach its dominion which is expanded for me from it. I asked my Lord for my nation, not to destroy them with a general year of disaster, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to subject them to an enemy from outside of them, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to make some of them taste the punishment of others, so He prevented me from it. And He said, 'O Muhammad, if I decree a matter, it is not reversed. Indeed, I have given you for your nation that they will not be destroyed by a general year of disaster, and I will not manifest upon them an enemy other than themselves to make them permissible to each other. Even if people from all corners of the earth gathered until some of them destroy others and capture others, I do not fear for my nation except for the misleading leaders. The Hour will not be established until tribes from my nation join the polytheists and until tribes from my nation worship idols. And when the sword is unsheathed among my nation, it will never be removed from them until the Day of Resurrection.' And he claimed, 'Nothing will be taken from a man from the people of Paradise from its fruits except that Allah will replace it with something similar.' And he said, 'There is no dinar that a man spends, seeking a greater reward, than a dinar he spends on his family, then a dinar he spends on his horse in the way of Allah, then a dinar he spends on his companions in the way of Allah.' And he claimed that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ exalted this matter and when it is the Day of Resurrection, the people of ignorance will come carrying their idols on their backs, and their Lord will ask them, 'What were you worshiping?' They will say, 'Our Lord, you did not send us a messenger, nor did a command come to us. If you had sent a messenger to us, we would have obeyed you.' So their Lord will say to them, 'Did you not promise me to obey if I commanded you?' They will say, 'Yes.' So He will take their covenants concerning that and then He will order them to plunge into Hellfire and they will enter it. They will set out until when they approach it, they will see it boiling and roaring in anger, so they will become afraid and turn back to their Lord and say, 'Our Lord, turn us back from it.' So He will say, 'Did you not give me your covenants to obey me? Plunge into it.' So they will set out until when they see it, they will turn back again and say, 'Our Lord, we cannot enter it.' He will say, 'Enter it with humiliation.' So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'If they had entered it the first time, it would have been cool and peaceful for them.'"
