3961. It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Before the Hour comes, there will be tribulation like pieces of black night, when a man will wake up as a believer but be a disbeliever by evening, or he will be a believer in the evening but will be a disbeliever by morning. And the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running. So break your bows, cut their strings and
strike your swords against rocks, and if anyone enters upon anyone of you, let him be like the better of the two sons of Ādam. (i.e. the one killed, not the killer).”
(Hasan)

Commentary
At the time of affliction, one should take care of his faith.
Abstaining from participating in afflictions as much as possible is better, and avoiding them totally is the best act.
Having enmity with a person or trying to harm him, based on the reason that he belongs to a certain sect, organisation, group or party is unacceptable in Islam. This enmity is like the one that used to be practiced during (the pre-Islamic period of) Ignorance. Therefore, one should avoid it as much as possible.
