حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ: نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَبْثَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: نَا بُرْدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، مَوْلَى سَلْمِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ:
أَتَتْكُمُ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ، يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا، وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا، يَبِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ دِينَهُ بِعَرَضٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٍ " قُلْتُ: فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: " تَكْسِرُ يَدَكَ ". قُلْتُ: فَإِنِ انْجَبَرَتْ ؟ قَالَ: " تَكْسِرُ الْأُخْرَى ". قُلْتُ: فَإِنْ جُبِرَتْ ؟ قَالَ: " تَكْسِرُ رِجْلَكَ ". قُلْتُ: فَإِنْ جُبِرَتْ ؟ قَالَ: " تَكْسِرُ الْأُخْرَى ". قُلْتُ: حَتَّى مَتَى ؟ قَالَ: " حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ

✧ Trials are coming to you like patches of a dark night: a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning, selling his religion for a small portion of worldly goods.” I said: “What should we do, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Break your hand.” I said: “If it heals?” He said: “Break the other.” I said: “If it heals?” He said: “Break your leg.” I said: “If it heals?” He said: “Break the other.” I said: “Until when?” He said: “Until a sinning hand comes to you or a decisive death.”
