"ستَكُونُ بعْدى فتَنٌ، النَّائم فيهَا خَيْرٌ منَ اليقْظَانِ، والْجالس فيهَا خَيْرٌ منَ الْقَائمِ، والْقَائم فيهَا خَيْرٌ من الْماشى، أَلا فَمنْ أَتَتْ علَيْه فَلْيمْش بسيْفه إِلَى صفَاةٍ فَلْيضْرِبْه بِهَا حتَّى ينْكَسِر ثُمَّ لِيضْطَجع حتَّى تَنْجلِىَ عمَّا انْجلَتْ علَيْهِ".

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There will be a trial after me in which the one who is sleeping will be better than the one who is awake, and the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking. Whoever is afflicted with it should take his sword and strike with it until it is broken, then lie down with it until it is gone."

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "There will be turmoil after me, and in it, the one who is asleep is better than the one who is awake, 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. So whoever is affected by it, let him walk with his sword to Safa and strike with it until it breaks, then let him lie down until it subsides."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be trials in which the one who is asleep in it is better than the one who is awake, and the one who is sitting in it is better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing in it is better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking is better than the one who is running. So whoever encounters it, they should walk with their sword towards As-Safa and strike it until it breaks, then they should lie down until it clears up."
