[Machine] The daylight was long on me, so I remembered the person I was speaking to. He said, "Let me tell you about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I will tell him about it." Then, he started telling me and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'During a time of turmoil, the one who is asleep is better than the one who is lying down, and the one who is lying down is better than the one who is sitting, and the one who is sitting is better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing is better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking is better than the one who is riding, and the one who is riding is better than the one who is running. Killing in such times is all in the fire." I said, "Oh Messenger of Allah, when will that be?" He said, "During the days of chaos." I said, "And when are the days of chaos?" He said, "When a person does not feel safe with his companion." I said, "So what do you command me to do if I reach that time?" He said, "Control yourself and hold onto your hand, and enter your house." I said, "Oh Messenger of Allah, what if someone enters my house?" He said, "Then enter your mosque and do the same, holding onto your elbow with your right hand and say, 'My Lord is Allah' until you die, like this."
طَالَ عَلَيَّ النَّهَارُ فَتَذَكَّرْتُ مَنْ أَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُحَدِّثُهُ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنِي فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُضْطَجِعِ وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ وَالرَّاكِبُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُجْرِي قَتْلَاهَا كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ أَيَّامَ الْهَرْجِ» قُلْتُ وَمَتَى أَيَّامُ الْهَرْجِ؟ قَالَ «حِينَ لَا يَأْمَنُ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيسَهُ» قُلْتُ فَبِمَ تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ؟ قَالَ «اكْفُفْ نَفْسَكَ وَيَدَكَ وَادْخُلْ دَارَكَ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ دَارِي؟ قَالَ «فَادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ فَادْخُلْ مَسْجِدَكَ فَاصْنَعْ هَكَذَا وَقَبَضَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى الْكُوعِ وَقُلْ رَبِّيَ اللهُ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ كَذَلِكَ
