حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ زِيَادٍ سِيمِينْ كُوشَ عَن
ْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ تَسْتَنْظِفُ الْعَرَبَ قَتْلَاهَا فِي النَّارِ اللِّسَانُ فِيهَا أَشَدُّ مِنْ وَقْعِ السَّيْفِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (رضي الله عنهما) — via Aswad ibn 'Amir, from Hammad ibn Salama, from Layth, from Tawus, from Ziyad Simin Kush — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will be a fitna that will sweep the Arabs away completely. Its slain are in the Fire. The tongue [speech/incitement] in it is more lethal than the strike of the sword.'
