[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said while we were sitting on a mat, "Indeed, it will be a tribulation." They asked, "What should we do?" He extended his hand towards the mat and held onto it, saying, "They will do like this." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , reminded them, "Indeed, it will be a tribulation." Many people did not hear him, so Mu'adh bin Jabal said, "Don't you hear what the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , is saying?" They asked, "What did he say?" He said, "He said, 'Indeed, it will be a tribulation.'" They asked, "So what should we do, O Messenger of Allah, and how should we act?" He said, "You should return to your previous affairs."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عَلَى بِسَاطٍ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ فَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْبِسَاطِ فَأَمْسَكَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «يفْعَلُونَ هَكَذَا» قَالَ وَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ» وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالُوا وَمَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ» قَالُوا فَكَيْفَ بِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ «تَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى أَمْرِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِ»
