[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Muhammad ibn Muslimah, there will be trials, division, and disagreements. When that happens, break your sword, break your spear, cut your bowstring, and stay in your house." So, I followed the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and turned around. I saw the sword hanging on the pillar of the tent, so I took it and found it to be a wooden sword. I said, "I have done what the Prophet ﷺ commanded me, and I have taken this as something to intimidate people."  

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاكْسِرْ نَبْلَكَ وَاقْطَعْ وَاتْرُكْ وَاجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ» فَقَدْ وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا السَّيْفُ مُعَلَّقٌ بِعَمُودِ الْفُسْطَاطِ فَانْتَصَلْتُهُ فَإِذَا سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاتَّخَذْتُ هَذَا أَهِيبُ بِهِ النَّاسَ
