Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking one, and the walking one will be better than the running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي مَنْ تَشَرَّفَ لَهَا تَسْتَشْرِفْهُ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ فِيهَا مَلْجَأً أَوْ مَعَاذًا فَلْيَعُذْ بِهِ

There will be soon a period of turmoil in which the one who sits will be better than one who stands and the one who stands will be better than one who walks and the one who walks will be better than one who runs. He who would watch them will be drawn by them. So he who finds a refuge or shelter against it should make it as his resort.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي مَنْ تَشَرَّفَ لَهَا تَسْتَشْرِفُهُ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ فِيهَا مَلْجَأً فَلْيَعُذْ بِهِ

During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running."' He said: "What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son."'

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ بَيْتِي وَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَىَّ لِيَقْتُلَنِي قَالَ كُنْ كَابْنِ آدَمَ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There will be tribulation; the one sitting in it is better than the one standing, the one standing in it is better than the one walking, and the one walking in it is better than the one hurrying." He said: I think he also said: "And the one lying down in it is better than the one sitting."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ، وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي، وَيَكُونُ الْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرًا مِنَ السَّاعِي». قَالَ: وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ: «وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ».

During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "I testify that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running."' He said: "What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son."' (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2194)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ القَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ المَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَيَّ لِيَقْتُلَنِي؟ قَالَ كُنْ كَابْنِ آدَمَ

[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "There will be a time of tribulation in which the one who is asleep is better than the one who is sitting, and the one who is sitting is better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing is better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking is better than the one who is riding."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِيِ وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِيِ وَالسَّاعِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ»

"إِنَّها ستكونُ فِتْنَةٌ، القاعِدُ فيها خيْرٌ من القائِم، والقائمُ خيْرٌ من الماشِى، والماشِى خيْرٌ من السَّاعِى، قيل: أَفرأَيْتَ إِنْ دخلَ علىَّ بَيْتى وبَسَطَ يَدهُ ليقْتُلِنى؟ قال: كُنْ كابْنِ آدمَ".

"إنِّى لأَعْلَمُ فتْنَةً عَمْيَاءَ صَمَّاءَ، النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الجَالِسِ، والجَالِسُ فيهَا خيرٌ مِنَ القَائِم، والْقَائمُ فيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِى، والْمَاشِى فيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِى" .

"تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ: القَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ، والقائمُ فيها خَيْرٌ مِنَ الماشِى، والْمَاشِى فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِى، والسَّاعِى فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مَن الرَّاكِب، وَالرَّاكِبُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُوضِع".

"سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ: النَّائِم فيها خَيْرٌ مِنَ القاعِدِ، والقاعد فيها خَيرٌ من الْمَاشِى، والْمَاشِى فيها خَيْرٌ من السَّاعِى، والساعى خيرٌ من الراكب".

"ستَكُونُ فتْنَةٌ، بكْماء، عمْياء، صمَّاء، الْمضْطجع فيهَا خَيْرٌ منَ الْقَاعد، والْقَاعد فيها خَيْرٌ منَ الْقَائمِ، والْقَائم فيهَا خَيْرٌ من الْماشى، والْماشى فيهَا خَيْرٌ من السَّاعى، فَمنْ أَبى فَلْيَمْدُدْ عنُقَه".
