English translation
[4776] 46 - (1844) It wasnarrated that 'Abdur-Rahmân bin'Abd Rabb Al-Ka'bah said: "Ientered the Masjid and saw'Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Âssitting in the shade of theKa'bah, and the people weregathered around him. I came tothem and sat down with him, andhe said: 'We were with theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ on ajourney, and we made a stop.
Some of us began to repair tents, and some of us competed in shooting (arrows), and some of us grazed their animals. Then the caller of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ called out: "Aṣ-Ṣalātu Jāmi'ah (prayer is about to begin)." We gathered around the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: "There was no Prophet before me but it was his duty to tell his Ummah of the best of what he knew was good for them, and the worst of what he knew was bad for them.
"The time of peace and security for this Ummah has been made in its first era, and its last era will be afflicted with trials and things that you object to. Fitnah (tribulation) will come in waves, one after another. A Fitnah will come and the believer will say: 'This is going to cause my doom.' Then when it ends, another Fitnah will come, and the believer will say: 'This is the one.' Whoever would like to be delivered from Hell and enter Paradise, let him die believing in Allâh and the Last Day, and let him treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever swears allegiance to a ruler, giving him his oath with sincerity, let him obey him if he can. If another comes and disputes with him, then strike the neck of the other one." I (the narrator) drew close to him and said to him: 'I adjure you by Allâh, did you hear this
from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? He pointed to his ears and his heart and said: 'My ears heard it and my heart understood.' I said to him: 'This son of your paternal uncle, Mu'āwiyah, enjoins us to consume our wealth unlawfully amongst ourselves, and to kill ourselves, but Allāh, glorified and exalted is He, says: O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allāh is Most Merciful to you..' [1] He remained silent for a while, then he said: 'Obey him in that which is obedience to Allāh, and disobey him in that which is disobedience to Allāh.'"
