There would soon be turmoil. Behold! there would be turmoil in which the one who would be seated would be better than one who would stand and the one who would stand would be better than one who would run. Behold! when the turmoil comes or it appears, the one who has camel should stick to his camel and he who has sheep or goat should stick to his sheep and goat and he who has land should stick to the land. A person said: 'Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion about one who has neither camel nor sheep nor land? Thereupon, he said: He should take hold of his sword and beat its edge with the help of stone and then try to find a way of escape. O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message) ; O Allah, I have conveyed (Thy Message). A person said: Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion if I am drawn to a rank in spite of myself, or in one of the groups and made to march and a man strikes with his sword or there comes an arrow and kills me? Thereupon he said: He will bear the punishment of his sin and that of yours and he would be one amongst the denizens of Hell.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ أَلاَ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي فِيهَا وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي إِلَيْهَا أَلاَ فَإِذَا نَزَلَتْ أَوْ وَقَعَتْ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ وَلاَ غَنَمٌ وَلاَ أَرْضٌ قَالَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ فَيَدُقُّ عَلَى حَدِّهِ بِحَجَرٍ ثُمَّ لْيَنْجُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاءَ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُكْرِهْتُ حَتَّى يُنْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ أَوْ إِحْدَى الْفِئَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَنِي رَجُلٌ بِسَيْفِهِ أَوْ يَجِيءُ سَهْمٌ فَيَقْتُلُنِي قَالَ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ وَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There will be a period of commotion in which the one who lies down will be better than the one who sits, and 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 (to it). He asked: What do you command me to do, Messenger of Allah? He replied: He who has camels should remain with his camels, he who has sheep should remain with his sheep, and he who has land should remain with his land. He asked: If anyone has more of these, (what should he do)? He replied: He should take his sword, strike its edge on a stone, and then escape if he can. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4256)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْجَالِسِ وَالْجَالِسُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ فَلْيَضْرِبْ بِحَدِّهِ صَخْرَةً ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ

[Machine] The prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "There will be trials, and then there will be greater trials. Indeed, the one who walks in them is better than the one who runs towards them, and the one who sits in them is better than the one who stands in them, and the one who lies down in them is better than the one who sits. So when they come, let those who have livestock join their livestock, and let those who have land join their land, and let those who have camels join their camels." A man from the people said: "O Prophet of Allah, what about someone who has neither livestock nor camels, what should he do?" He said: "Let him take his sword and strike it against a rock, then let him hit the edge of it with a stone, then let him throw himself off with it, if he can, seeking to save himself. O Allah, have I conveyed (this message)? O Allah, have I conveyed (this message)?" Then a man said: "O Prophet of Allah, what if someone is taken against his will until he is brought to one of the two armies - 'Uthman doubtfully throws me, and a man kills me with his sword - what will be my status?" He said: "He will bear his sin and the sin of the one who forced him, and he will be among the people of the Fire."

"إِنَّها ستكُونُ فِتنٌ، أَلَا ثُمَّ تكُون فتْنَةٌ، المضطجعُ فيها خيرٌ منَ الجالس، والجالسُ خيْرٌ مَنَ القائِم، والقائِمُ خيرٌ مِنَ الماشى، والماشى فيها خيرٌ من السَّاعى إِلْيها، أَلَا فإِذا نزلتْ أَوْ وَقَعتْ فمَنْ كانتْ له إِبِلٌ فلْيَلْحق بإِبله، ومَنْ كانتْ له غنمٌ فلْيلْحَق بغَنمه، ومَنْ كانتْ له أَرضٌ فلْيلْحَق بأَرْضه، ومن لم يكن له شئٌ من ذلك فلْيَعْمد إِلى سيْفهِ فيدُقَّ على حدِّه بحجرٍ، ثُمَّ لْينجُ إِنْ استطاع النجاءَ، اللهم هل بلَّغتُ اللهم هل بلغتُ".
