Regarding the statement of Allah Almighty: "Hold fast to your own selves; when you are rightly guided, those who go astray cannot harm you," Abu Tha’labah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: He said, Listen! By Allah, I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, you must continue to enjoin good and forbid evil, until you see that miserliness is obeyed, desires are followed, the world is preferred, and every person is pleased with his own opinion and intellect, and you see an affair which it is difficult to avoid, then hold fast to your own selves and leave the common people to their affairs, for ahead are coming the days of patience. Whoever is patient in those days will be like one who holds a burning ember, and for the one who acts in those days, there will be the reward of fifty men doing the same deed." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! The reward of fifty men among them?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "The reward of fifty men among you." Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
