وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ بَهْرَامَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جُنْدُبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ، تَصْدِمُ الرَّجُلَ كَصَدْمِ جِبَاهِ فُحُولِ الثِّيرَانِ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُسْلِمًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا، وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: ادْخُلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ، وَأَخْمِلُوا ذِكْرَكُمْ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دُخِلَ عَلَى أَحَدِنَا بَيْتُهُ، قَالَ: فَلْيُمْسِكْ بِيَدِهِ، وَلْيَكُنْ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْمَقْتُولَ، وَلَا يَكُنْ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْقَاتِلَ، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَكُونُ فِي قُبَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَيَأْكُلُ مَالَ أَخِيهِ وَيَسْفِكُ دَمَهُ وَيَعْصِي رَبَّهُ وَيَكْفُرُ بِخَالِقِهِ وَتَجِبُ لَهُ جَهَنَّمُ

✧ After me there will be trials like patches of dark night, striking a man as the foreheads of raging bulls strike. A man will enter upon morning as a Muslim and reach evening as a disbeliever, and reach evening as a believer and enter upon morning as a disbeliever. A man said, 'What should we do at that time, O Messenger of Allah?' He ﷺ said, 'Enter your houses and keep your mention hidden.' A man said, 'What do you think if one of us has his house entered upon him?' He said, 'Let him restrain his hand and be the servant of Allah who is killed, not the servant of Allah who kills, for a man may be within the dome of Islam yet consume his brother's wealth, shed his blood, disobey his Lord, disbelieve in his Creator, and Hell becomes incumbent upon him.'
