ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ وُقُوعِ الْفِتَنِ كَسْرَ سَيْفِهِ، ثُمَّ الِاعْتِزَالَ عَنْهَا
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 اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ يَكُونُ الْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرًا مِنَ الْجَالِسِ وَالْجَالِسُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرًا مِنَ السَّاعِي» قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ فَلْيَضْرِبْ بِحَدِّهِ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ»
