Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

The tribulation of the sleeper will be better than the one who is lying down, and the one who is lying down will be better than the one sitting, and the one who is sitting will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one who is walking will be better than one who is riding, and the one who is riding will be better than one who runs. All of them will be killed in Hell in the days of turmoil, when the man who is sitting with him does not feel safe. Shackle yourself and your hand, and enter your house, then enter your house, then enter your mosque, and then do like this.

There will be strife and division, so strike someone with your sword, break your arrows, cut them off, and leave them, and stay in your home.

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Before the Hour comes, there will be tribulation like pieces of black night, when a man will wake up as a believer but be a disbeliever by evening, or he will be a believer in the evening but will be a disbeliever by morning. And the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running. So break your bows, cut their strings and strike your swords against rocks, and if anyone enters upon anyone of you, let him be like the better of the two sons of Adam. (i.e. the one killed, not the killer).”
