4263. It was narrated that Al-Miqdād bin Al-Aswad said: "By Allāh, I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Verily, the blessed one is the one who is kept away from Fitnah; verily, the blessed one is the one who is kept away from Fitnah; verily the blessed one is the one who is kept away from Fitnah. How good is the one who is afflicted and bears it with patience.'" (Sahih)
4263 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: ايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ السَّعِيدَ لَمَنْ جُنِّبَ الْفِتَنَ، إِنَّ السَّعِيدَ لَمَنْ جُنِّبَ الْفِتَنِ، إِنَّ السَّعِيدَ لَمَنْ جُنِّبَ الْفِتَنُ، وَلَمَنْ ابْتُلِيَ فَصَبَرَ فَوَاهًا»

The summary of all these narrations under this chapter is that it is not part of Faith to fight in such turmoil, but rather to die upon Faith, as 'Uthmān, may Allāh be pleased with him, did when he was besieged.
