3962. It was narrated that Abu Burdah said: “I entered upon Muhammad bin Maslamah and he said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘There will be tribulation, division and dissension. When that comes, take your sword to Uhud and strike it until it breaks, then sit in your house until there comes to you the hand of the evildoer (to kill you) or a predestined (natural) death.’” “And that came to pass, and I did as the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said.” (Hasan)
3962 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، أَوْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَدْعَانَ - شَكَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ، فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَأْتِ بِسَيْفِكَ أُحُدًا، فَاضْرِبْهُ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ، ثُمَّ اجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ، حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ، أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ» ، فَقَدْ وَقَعَتْ وَفَعَلْتُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَابٌ إِذَا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا

Fire power of Muslims should be used against disbelievers; whenever it needs to be used against Muslims it is better that it be destroyed. The hand of the evildoer here means being murdered by an evil person, and attaining the rank of martyr, or escaping from such riots by a normal death.
