کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir, on the authority of Umair bin Hani, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The trial of good times involves war and flight, and the trial of good times comes out from under the feet of a man who claims to be from me and is not from me. He knows if he is fighting for what is right or for what is wrong, so they continue like this until they become two camps: a camp of faith in which there is no hypocrisy, and a camp of hypocrisy in which there is no faith. So when they meet, he will see the Dajjal today or tomorrow.”

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Al-Harith ibn Yazid, who said: I heard Abdullah ibn Zurayr Al-Ghafiqi saying: I heard Ali, (may Allah be pleased with him), say: “Trials are four: the trial of good times, the trial of adversity, and the trial of such-and-such, so he mentioned the gold metal, then a man from the family of the Prophet, ﷺ, will come out and Allah will set their affairs right at his hands.”

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Ismail bin Rafi’, on the authority of the one who told him, on the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “There will be tribulations after me, including the tribulation of Ahlas, in which there will be war and flight, then after that tribulations worse than that, and then there will be tribulations that, whenever it is said: it will end, it will go further, until there will not remain a house without entering it, and no Muslim without its silence, until a man from my family emerges.”

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abd al-Jabbar bin Rashid al-Azdi, on the authority of his mother, on the authority of Rabi’ah al-Qasir, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “There will be three tribulations like yours departing: a tribulation that will take place in the Levant, then the eastern one, the destruction of kings, then the western one will follow, and he mentioned the yellow flags. He said: and the western ones are the blind ones.”

Busr bin Sa'eed said:During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "I testify that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running."' He said: "What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son
