AbI Bakrah when he was in his land, and entered upon him. We said: 'Did you hear your father narrate any -IadIth about tribulations?' He said: Yes, I heard Abü Bakrah narrate that the Messenger of Allah iA said: "Verily there will be tribulations, then there will be tribulations during that one who is sitting will be better than one who is walking, and one who is walking is better than one who is running. During those tribulations, whoever has camels, let him stay with his camels, whoever has sheep, let him stay with his sheep, and whoever has land, let him stay on his land." A man said: "0 Messenger of Allah, what do you think if he does not have camels, or sheep, or land?" He said: "Let him go to his sword and make it blunt with a stone, then let him try to find a way of escape if he can. 0 Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? 0 Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? 0 Allah, have I conveyed (the message)?" A man said: "0 Messenger of Allah, what if I am forced to join one of the two ranks, or one of the two groups, and a man strikes me with his sword, or an arrow comes and kills me?" He said: "He will bear the burden of his sin and your sin, and he will be one of the people of the Fire." Tribulations & Portents Of The Hour 279 JI
