Hadith 5176

Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There will be trials. Behold, then a trial where the one sitting is better than the one walking, and the one walking is better than the one running to it. Behold, when it occurs, whoever has camels, let him join his camels; whoever has sheep, let him join his sheep; and whoever has land, let him join his land.” A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, what about one who has no camels, sheep, or land?” He said: “Let him take his sword and strike its edge with a stone, then escape if he can. O Allah, have I conveyed?” three times. A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, what if I am forced to join one of the two sides, and a man strikes me with his sword or an arrow comes and kills me?” He said: “He will bear his sin and your sin and be among the people of the Fire.”
