"عَنْ ابن مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: اتَّقُوا الله وَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَريحَ بَرًا وَتُسْتَرَاحَ منْ فَاجِرٍ، وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ، فَإِنَّ الله لَا يَجْمَعُ أُمَّة مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ".
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, "Adhere to the fear of Allah and the congregation, for Allah Almighty does not unite this Ummah (community) upon misguidance. And you should have patience until the righteous prevail and the wicked are at ease."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللَّهِ وَالْجَمَاعَةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَجْمَعُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ عَلَى الضَّلَالَةِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّبِرِ حَتَّى يَسْتَرِيحُ بَرٌّ وَيُسْتَرَاحُ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "You must obey Allah and this community. Indeed, Allah, the Most High, does not gather the Ummah (nation) of Muhammad ﷺ on misguidance forever. You must also be patient until the good is attained and the evildoer is pacified (or obliterated)."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَهَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَجْمَعُ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ أَبَدًا وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّبِرِ حَتَّى يَسْتَرِيحَ بَرٌّ وَيُسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ»
[Machine] Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari, when Uthman was killed, he secluded himself in his house. I entered upon him and asked him about the situation of the people. He said, "Adhere to the congregation, for Allah has not gathered the nation of Muhammad on misguidance. Be patient until a righteous person emerges or a corrupt one is removed."
أنَّ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ لَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ احْتَجَبَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَجْمَعْ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ وَاصْبِرْ حَتَّى يَسْتَرِيحَ بَرٌّ أَوْ يُسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ»
"عَنْ أبِى حُلَيْسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِى مَسْعُود - وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ : عَلَيكمْ بِالجَمَاعَةِ، فَإِنَّ الله لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَجْمَعَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى ضَلاَلَةٍ".
