حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَأَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ قَالَا ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ قَالَ مَرَرْنَا بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَإِذَا فُسْطَاطٌ قُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا؟ قِيلَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَاكْسِرْ سَيْفَكَ وَاكْسِرْ نَبْلَكَ وَاقْطَعْ وَاتْرُكْ وَاجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ» فَقَدْ وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَفَعَلْتُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا السَّيْفُ مُعَلَّقٌ بِعَمُودِ الْفُسْطَاطِ فَانْتَصَلْتُهُ فَإِذَا سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاتَّخَذْتُ هَذَا أَهِيبُ بِهِ النَّاسَ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'O Muhammad b. Maslamah, there will be tribulation, division, and difference. When that occurs, break your sword, break your arrows, cut your bowstring, and sit in your house.' And indeed the tribulation occurred, and I did what the Messenger of God ﷺ commanded me. Then I turned and saw a sword hanging from the tent pole, so I drew it, and it turned out to be a sword of wood. He said: 'I did what the Prophet ﷺ commanded me, and I took this to frighten people with it.'
