The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the good, and I used to ask him about the evil, fearing that it might overtake me. So I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we were in ignorance (jāhiliyyah) and evil, then Allah brought us this good. Is there any evil after this good?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Is there any good after that evil?" He said: "Yes, but it has some smoke (dakhan) in it." I said: "And what is its smoke?" He said: "A people who guide by other than my guidance; you will recognize some of them and disapprove of others." I said: "Is there any evil after that good?" He said: "Yes, callers at the gates of Hell; whoever answers them, they will throw him into it." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, describe them to us." He said: "They are from our own skin, and they speak with our tongues." I said: "What do you command me to do if that overtakes me?" He said: "Stick to the community of the Muslims and their leader." I said: "And if there is no community and no leader?" He said: "Then withdraw from all those sects, even if you have to bite on the root of a tree until death overtakes you while you are in that state."
