2204. Abū Mūsā narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, about the Fitnah: "Break your bows during it, cut their strings, and stick to the depths of your homes, and be like Ādam's son." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Tharwān (a narrator in the chain) is Abū Qais Al-Awdī.
٢٢٠٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَرْوَانَ ، عَنْ هُزَيْلِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ: كَسِّرُوا فِيهَا قِسِيَّكُمْ،» وَقَطِّعُوا فِيهَا أَوْتَارَكُمْ، وَالْزَمُوا فِيهَا أَجْوَافَ بُيُوتِكُمْ، وَكُونُوا كَابْنِ آدَمَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَرْوَانَ هُوَ أَبُو قَيْسٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ.

This Hadīth also advises the Muslims to suffer being killed rather than participate in internal strife, thereby following the example of Prophet Ādam's son (Hābil) who preferred getting killed to taking up arms against his brother. (Qur'an, 6:28,29).
