Hadith #31
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ كُنْتُ أُسَمِّيهِ فَنَسِيتُ اسْمَهُ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي حَاجَةٌ إِلَى أَبِي سَعْدٍ قَالَ و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ عَنْ مُجَمِّعٍ قَالَ كَانَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ ح
َاجَةٌ فَقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ حَاجَتِهِ كَلَامًا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسُ يُوصِلُونَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْمَعُهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ قَدْ فَرَغْتَ مِنْ كَلَامِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ مَا كُنْتَ مِنْ حَاجَتِكَ أَبْعَدَ وَلَا كُنْتُ فِيكَ أَزْهَدَ مِنِّي مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ كَلَامَكَ هَذَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَأْكُلُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْبَقَرَةُ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Umar ibn Sa'd who (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that i had a need to go to my father Sa'd. He found him at his estate. Sa'd said: 'That man is calling to this matter [of fitna and strife]. Seek refuge with Allah — or said: I seek refuge with Allah — from the evil of this tribulation.' He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'There will come a tribulation in which the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing is better than the one walking, and the one walking is better than the one rushing. Do not be the one to rush to it.'
