The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a tribulation and described it as imminent.She said, I asked, "Messenger of Allah, who will be the best of people during it?"He replied, "A man tending his livestock, paying its due and worshipping his Lord, and a man holding the reins of his horse, striking fear into the enemy while they strike fear into him."
