" عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِه: كيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا بَقِيتُمْ فِى حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَرِجَتْ أَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَعُهُودُهُمْ وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا؟ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ بعْضَهَا فِى بَعْضٍ، قَالُوا: فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ كَيْفَ نَفْعَلُ يَارَسُولَ الله؟ قَالَ: خُذوا مَا تَعْرِفُونَ، وَدَعُوا مَا تُنْكِرُونَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ الله بْنُ عَمْرِو بْن الْعَاصِ: مَا تَأمُرُنِى بِهِ يَارَسُولَ الله إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: آمُرُكَ بِتَقْوَى الله، وَعَلَيْكَ بِنَفْسِكَ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَعَامَّةَ الأُمُورِ ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abdullah bin Amr, "How are you when you are amidst the worst of people, whose hearts have become hardened and whose trust has been broken, and their hearts are contentious?" He intertwined his fingers and said, "What should I do?" He replied, "Hold on to what you know, and leave what you disapprove of, and be separate from the common people."  

الطبراني:١٣٦٦٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ قَالَ ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ النِّيلِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَرِجَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَاخْتَلَفَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِمَا تَعْرِفُ وَدَعْ مَا تُنْكِرُ وَعَلَيْكَ بِخُوَيْصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ وَإِيَّاكَ وَعَوَامَّهُمْ

[Machine] He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us while we were in the mosque, and I was the ninth of nine. He said to us, "Do you listen? Are you listening?" Three times he said, "It is certain that there will be leaders over you. Whoever visits them and supports them in their wrongdoing, he is not of me and I am not of him. He will not come to my pond on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever visits them and does not support them in their wrongdoing, he is of me and I am of him. He will come to my pond on the Day of Resurrection." He said, "And Sahl bin Saad also narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, 'How will you be when you are left in the worst people? People will betray their trust and break their covenants.' They said, 'Then what should we do, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Take what you know and leave what you disapprove of.' Then he specifically addressed Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As and said, 'What do you command me to do in this situation, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'I command you to have Taqwa of Allah in yourself and your affairs in general.'
