Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night. During (that stormy period) a man would be a Muslim in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening or he would be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and would sell his faith for worldly goods.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا أَوْ يُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا  

"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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَادِرُوا بِالأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَحَدُهُمْ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا  

"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."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, before the Hour there will be tribulations like the dark pieces of the night, tribulations like the pieces of smoke. In it, the heart of a man will die just as his body dies. A person will wake up in the morning as a believer and by evening become a disbeliever, or will wake up in the evening as a believer and become a disbeliever in the morning. People will sell their morals and religion for a worldly possession. Verily, Yazid ibn Mu'awiyah has already died and you are our brothers and companions, so do not precede us until we consult among ourselves."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ الدُّخَانِ يَمُوتُ فِيهَا قَلْبُ الرَّجُلِ كَمَا يَمُوتُ بَدَنُهُ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ وَدِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ وَأَنْتُمْ إِخْوَانُنَا وَأَشِقَّاؤُنَا فَلَا تَسْبِقُونَا حَتَّى نَخْتَارَ لِأَنْفُسِنَا

(Using translation from Muslim 118)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ

(Using translation from Tirmidhī 2197)   

وَسَمِعْنَا وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيَبِيعُ فِيهَا أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Indeed, before the Hour, there will be trials like the dark night, and there will be trials like a piece of smoke. In these trials, a person's heart dies just as his body dies. In the morning, a person may be a believer, and by the evening, he becomes a disbeliever. And in the evening, a person may be a believer, and by the morning, he becomes a disbeliever. People will sell their religion and their morals for a small worldly gain. Verily, Yazid ibn Muawiyah has already died, and you are our brothers and our followers. So do not rush ahead of us in anything until we consult with ourselves."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ وَفِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ الدُّخَانِ يَمُوتُ فِيهَا قَلْبُ الرَّجُلِ كَمَا يَمُوتُ بَدَنُهُ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا يُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ فِيهَا أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ وَدِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ وَإِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ وَأَنْتُمْ إِخْوَتُنَا وَأَشِقَّاؤُنَا فَلَا تَسْبِقُونَا بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى نَخْتَارُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا  

"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»  

[Machine] "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we heard him saying,

'Indeed, before the Hour there will be trials like pieces of the dark night. A man will wake up in the morning as a believer, but by evening he will be a disbeliever. And he will go to sleep as a believer, but wake up as a disbeliever. People will sell their religion for a worldly gain, albeit insignificant.'

Al-Hasan said, 'By Allah, we have seen them with our own eyes; they are like bodies without intellects, like fireflies and locusts. They go out with two Dirhams and return with two Dirhams. One of them sells his religion for the price of a goat.'"

Ad-Dhahabi remained silent about summarizing this saying.  

صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ أَقْوَامٌ خَلَاقَهُمْ فِيهَا بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَسِيرٍ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ «وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْنَاهُمْ صُوَرًا بِلَا عُقُولٍ أَجْسَامًا بِلَا أَحْلَامٍ فَرَاشَ نَارٍ وَذِبَّانَ طَمَعٍ يَغْدُونَ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ وَيَرُوحُونَ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ يَبِيعُ أَحَدُهُمْ دِينَهُ بِثَمَنِ الْعَنْزِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Indeed, before the Hour there will be trials like pieces of dark smoke. The heart of a person will die from it, just as his body dies. In the morning, a person will be a believer, and in the evening, he will be a disbeliever. Similarly, a person will be a believer in the evening, and in the morning, he will be a disbeliever. People will sell their religion for a small worldly gain."

And that you should consider him dead while you are his brothers and his companions amongst those trials.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ الدُّخَانِ يَمُوتُ مِنْهَا قَلْبُ الرَّجُلِ كَمَا يَمُوتُ بَدَنُهُ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ فِيهَا أَقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ» وَأَنْ يَزِيدَ قَدْ مَاتَ وَأَنْتُمْ إِخْوَانُنَا وَأَشِقَّاؤُنَا وَمِنْهَا  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hasten to perform good deeds before a time comes upon you like the dark night. During that time, a person will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, or he will be a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. He will sell his religion for worldly gains."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا يَبِيعُ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا»  

"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)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا يَبِيعُ فِيهَا قَوْمٌ دِينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا»  

"تكُونُ بينَ يَدَى السَّاعَة فِتَنٌ كَقِطَع الليَّلِ الْمُظلِمِ؛ يُصْبحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا، وَيُمْسِى كَافِرًا، ويُمْسِى مُؤْمِنًا؛ وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، يبَيعُ أقوَامٌ دينَهُم بعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا".  

"بَينَ يَدَى السَّاعَةِ (فِتَنٌ) كقِطَع اللَّيلِ المُظلِم يُمْسِى الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤمِنًا، وَيُصبِحُ كَافِرًا، وَيُصْبِحُ مُؤْمنًا، وَيُمْسِى كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ أحَدُهُمْ دِينهُ بعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنيَا قَلِيلٌ".  

"لَيَغْشَيَنَّ أُمَّتِي مِن بَعْدِى فِتَنٌ كقِطَع اللَّيلِ المُظلِم، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤمِنًا، وَيُمْسِى كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ أقْوَام دينَهم بِعَرَض مِن الدُّنْيَا قَلِيل".  

"بَادِرُوا بالأعْمَال فِتنًا كقِطَع اللَّيلِ المظلِم، يُصبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِى كَافِرًا، وَيُمْسِى مؤْمِنًا، وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ أَحدُكُمْ دِينَهُ بِعَرضٍ مِنَ الدُّنيا قَلِيل".  

"لتَغَشَيَنَّ أمتى بَعدى فِتَنٌ كَقِطَع الليل المظلم، يُصبح الرجلُ فيها مؤمنًا ويمسي كَافِرا، ويُمسى مُؤمنًا ويُصبحُ كافرا، يبيع فيها أقوامٌ دينَهم بِعرض من الدنيا قليلٍ".  

"لَتَفْتِتَن أُمَّتِي بَعْدِى فِتَنٌ كَقِطع الليل المظلِم، يُصْبح الرجل فيها مؤمنًا ويُمْسِى كَافِرًا، ويُمْسِى مُؤمِنا ويُصْبح كافرا، يَبيعُ أقْوَامٌ فيها دِينَهُمْ بِعَرضٍ من الدنيَا قَليل".  

"إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعة فِتنًا كَأَنَّهَا قِطَعُ الليل الْمُظلم، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فيهَا مُؤْمنًا ويُمْسى كَافِرًا، ويُمْسى مؤْمنًا ويُصْبِحُ كَافرًا، يبيعُ قوْمٌ خَلَاقهُمْ بِعرضِ مِنَ الدَّنْيا يسيرٍ".  

"إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعةِ فِتنًا كقِطَع الَّلِيْل الْمُظْلِم، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فيها مُؤْمنًا، ويُمْسِى كافِرًا، ويُمْسِى مُؤْمنًا، ويُصْبِحُ كافرًا! ! يبيع فيها قَومٌ دينهم بعَرَضٍ من الدُّنيا ".  

"إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَى السَّاعةِ فتنًا كقطع الليل المظلم، فِتنًا كَقِطَع الدُّخَانِ، يمُوتُ فيها قَلْبُ الرَّجُلِ كما يموتُ بَدَنُهُ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فيها مُؤْمنًا ويمسِى كافِرًا، وَيُمْسِى مؤْمنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كِافرًا، يبيعُ فيها أَقوامٌ خَلَاقَهمُ وَدينَهُمْ بِعَرَضٍ من الدنيا".  

"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: هَذهِ فِتْنَةٌ قَدِ اطَّلَعَتْ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْل الْمُظْلِم كُلَّمَا ذَهَبَ مِنْهَا رَسْلٌ بَدَا رَسْلٌ آخَر، يَمُوتُ فِيهَا قَلْبُ الرَّجُل كَمَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا بَدَنُهُ، يُصْبحُ الرَّجُلُ فيَهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِى كَافِرًا، وَيُمْسِى مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبحُ كَافِرًا، يَبيعُ فيهَا أقْوَامٌ دِينَهُمْ بعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ".
