[Machine] While we were around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, if he mentioned Fitnah or it was mentioned in his presence, he would say, "When you see people breaking their covenant and trust becoming weak, and they act in this way." He would intertwine his fingers and say, "Then rise and take care of your affairs. Control your tongue and take what you know and leave what you do not. And be concerned with your own matters and leave the matters of the public."
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ الْفِتْنَةَ أَوْ ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَخَفَّتْ أَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ؟ قَالَ «الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ وَأَمْلِكُ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ وَخُذْ مَا تَعْرِفُ وَدَعْ مَا تُنْكِرُ وَعَلَيْكَ بِأَمْرِ الْخَاصَّةِ وَدَعْ أَمَرَ الْعَامَّةِ»
