Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah said: I was holding the hand of Ibn Umar on one of the ways of Madina. He suddenly came to a hanging head. He said: Unhappy is the one who killed him. When he proceeded, he said: I do not consider him but unfortunate. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: If anyone goes to a man of my community in order to kill him, he should say in this way, the one who kills will go to Hell and the one who is killed will go to Paradise. Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri has transmitted it from 'Awn from Abdur-Rahman bin Sumair or Sumairah ; and Laith bin Abu Sulaim transmitted it from 'Awn from Abdur-Rahman bin Sumairah. Abu Dawud said: Al-Hasan bin Ali said to me: Abu al-Walid transmitted this tradition to us from Abu 'Awanah, and said: It (the name Ibn Samurah) is in my notebook Ibn Sabrah. The people also transmitted it as Samurah and Sumairah. These are wordings of Abu al-Walid.

Narrated Abu Dharr: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to me: O Abu Dharr. I replied: At thy service and at thy pleasure, Messenger of Allah. He then mentioned the tradition in which he said: What will you do when there the death of the people (in Madina) and a house will reach the value of a slave (that is, a grave will be sold for a slave). I replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. Or he said: What Allah and His Messenger choose for me. He said: You must show endurance. Or he said; you may endure. He then said to me: What will you do, Abu Dharr, when you see the Ahjar az-Zayt covered with blood? I replied: What Allah and His Messenger choose for me. He said: You must go to those who are like-minded. I asked: Should I not take my sword and put it on my shoulder? He replied: you would then associate yourself with the people. I then asked: What do you order me to do? You must stay at home. I asked: (What should I do) if people enter my house and find me? He replied: If you are afraid the gleam of the sword may dazzle you, put the end of your garment over your face in order that (the one who kills you) may bear the punishment of your sins and his. Abu Dawud said: No one mentioned al-Mush'ath in the chain of this tradition except Hammad bin Zaid.

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ashari: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Before you there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening. He who sits during them will be better than he who gets up, and he who gets up during them is better than he who walks, and he who walks during them is better than he who runs. They (the people) said: What do you order us to do? He replied: Keep to your houses.

Narrated Al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad: I swear by Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: The happy man is he who avoids dissensions: happy is the man who avoids dissensions; happy is the man who avoids dissensions: but how fine is the man who is afflicted and shows endurance.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There will be civil strife (fitnah) which will render people deaf, dumb and blind regarding what is right. Those who contemplate it will be drawn by it, and giving rein to the tongue during it will be like smiting with the sword.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There will be civil strife which wipe out the Arabs, and their slain will go to Hell. During it the tongue will be more severe than blows of the sword. Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri transmitted it from Laith, from Tawus on the authority of Al-A'jam.

Abdullah bin Abd al-Quddus mentioned in his version: Ziyad, one who has white ears.

Narrated Abu Saeed Al Khudri: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: A Muslim's best property will soon be sheep which he will take to the tops of the mountains and the places where the rain falls, fleeing with his religion from the civil strife (fitan).

Ahnaf bin Qais said: I came out with the intention of (participating in) fighting. Abu Bakrah met me and said: Go back, for I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: When two Muslims face each other with their swords, the killer and the slain will go to Hell. He asked: Messenger of Allah, this is the killer (so naturally he should go to Hell), but what is the matter with the slain ? He replied: He intended to kill his companion.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted briefly by al-Hasan through a different chain of narrators to the same effect.
