The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will come a time of trial in which the one lying down will be better than the one sitting, the one sitting will be better than the one standing, the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running."Someone asked, "Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do?"He replied, "Whoever has camels, let him join his camels. Whoever has sheep, let him join his sheep. Whoever has land, let him join his land."The man asked, "What about one who has none of these?"He answered, "Let him take to his sword, strike its blade against a stone to break it, and then escape if he can."
حدثنا عثمان بن أبي شيبة حدثنا وكيع عن عثمان الشحام قال
قال رسول الله ﷺ إنها ستكون فتنة يكون المضطجع فيها خيرا من الجالس والجالس خيرا من القائم والقائم خيرا من الماشي والماشي خيرا من الساعي قال يا رسول الله ما تأمرني قال من كانت له إبل فليلحق بإبله ومن كانت له غنم فليلحق بغنمه ومن كانت له أرض فليلحق بأرضه قال فمن لم يكن له شيء من ذلك قال فليعمد إلى سيفه فليضرب بحده على حرة ثم لينج ما استطاع النجاء
