حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِىُّ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَفَرْقَدٌ السَّبَخِىُّ إِلَى مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِى بَكْرَةَ وَهُوَ فِى أَرْضِهِ فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا هَلْ سَمِعْتَ أَبَاكَ يُحَدِّثُ فِى الْفِتَنِ حَدِيثًا قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ أَلاَ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِى فِيهَا وَالْمَاشِى فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِى إِلَيْهَا أَلاَ فَإِذَا نَزَلَتْ أَوْ وَقَعَتْ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ ». قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ وَلاَ غَنَمٌ وَلاَ أَرْضٌ قَالَ « يَعْمِدُ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ فَيَدُقُّ عَلَى حَدِّهِ بِحَجَرٍ ثُمَّ لْيَنْجُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاءَ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ». قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُكْرِهْتُ حَتَّى يُنْطَلَقَ بِى إِلَى أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ أَوْ إِحْدَى الْفِئَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَنِى رَجُلٌ بِسَيْفِهِ أَوْ يَجِىءُ سَهْمٌ فَيَقْتُلُنِى قَالَ « يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِهِ وَإِثْمِكَ وَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ ».

'Uthman Ash-Shah-ham said: Farqad As-Sabakhi and I went to Muslim bin Abi Bakrah when he was in his land, and entered upon him. We said: 'Did you hear your father narrate any Hadith about tribulations?' He said: Yes, I heard Abu Bakrah narrate that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Verily there will be tribulations, then there will be tribulations during that one who is sitting will be better than one who is walking, and one who is walking is better than one who is running, During those tribulations, whoever has camels, let him stay with his camels, whoever has sheep, let him stay with his sheep; and whoever has land, let him stay on his land." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if he does not have camels, or sheep, or land?" He said: "Let him go to his sword and make it blunt with a stone, then let him try to find a way of escape if he can. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)?" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, what if I am forced to join one of the two ranks, or one of the two groups, and a man strikes me with his sword, or an arrow comes and kills me?" He said: "He will bear the burden of his sin and your sin, and he will be one of the people of the Fire:"
