Avoid Fitna

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do not exult over the misfortune of a brother for Allah might have mercy on him and involve you in misfortune..

Narrated by Al-Braa’ Bin ‘Azib, that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “The demise of the world is lesser to Allah than the killing of believer without just cause”.

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: The Prophet said, "The example of the person abiding by Allah's order and restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like the example of those persons who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part, and the others in the lower. When the latter needed water, they had to go up to bring water (and that troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us make a hole in our share of the ship (and get water) saving those who are above us from troubling them. So, if the people in the upper part left the others do what they had suggested, all the people of the ship would be destroyed, but if they prevented them, both parties would be safe." (Bukhari).

Narrated Abu Huraira
The Prophet said, "Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for the others' faults and do not spy, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert (cut your relation with) one another, and do not hate one another; and O Allah's worshipers! Be brothers (as Allah has ordered you).

Prophet Peace be Upon Him ordered us in his Hadith of THE BATTLE OF AHZAB……

“It has been narrated by Ibrahim al-Taimi on the authority of his father who said: We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa. A man said: If I were in the time of the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon him, I would have fought by his side and would have striven hard for his causes. Hudhaifa said: You might have done that, (but you should not make a flourish of your enthusiasm). I was with the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon him on the night of the Battle of Ahzab and we were gripped by a violent wind and severe cold. The Messenger of Allah Peace be him said: Hark, the man who (goes reconnoitering and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We all kept quiet and none of us responded to him. (Again) he said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitering and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We kept quiet and none of us responded to him. He again said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitering and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted) Then he said: Get up Hudhaifa; bring me the news of the enemy. When he called me by name I had no alternative but to get up. He said: Go and bring me information about the enemy, and do nothing that may provoke them against me. When I left him, I felt warm as if I were walking in a heated bath until I reached them. I saw Abu Sufyan warming his back against fire I put an arrow in the middle of the bow. Intending to shoot at him, when I recalled the words of the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon him "Do not provoke them against me." Had I shot at him, I would have hit him. But I returned and (felt warm as if) I were walking in a heated bath. Presenting myself before him, I gave him information about the enemy. When I had done so, I began to feel cold, so the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon him wrapped me in a blanket that he had in excess to his own requirement and with which he used to cover himself while saying his prayers. So I continued to sleep until it was morning. When it was morning he said: Get up, O heavy sleeper”.

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash’ari: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Before you there will be tribulations like patches of a dark night in which a man will wake up a believer in the morning but will be a kaafir in the evening, and a man will be a believer in the evening but will wake up a kaafir in the morning, 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) asked: What do you order us to do? The Prophet peace be upon him replied: Keep to your houses. [Abu Dawud]

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Worship at times of turmoil is like migrating (making hjrah) to me.” [Narrated by Muslim 2548]

Narrated Abdullah: Allah’s Apostle said to us, “You will see after me, selfishness (on the part of other people) and other matters that you will disapprove of.” They asked, “What do you order us to do, O Allah’s Apostle? (under such circumstances)?” He said, “Pay their rights to them (to the rulers) and ask your right from Allah.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Narrated Usaid bin Hudair: A man came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You appointed such-and-such person and you did not appoint me?” The Prophet said, “After me you will see rulers not giving you your right (but you should give them their right) and be patient till you meet me.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, “Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which (religious) knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and general ignorance will spread, and there will be Al-Harj in abundance, and Al-Harj means killing.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, “Do not revert to disbelief after me by striking the necks of one another.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking one, and the walking one will be better than the running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it.” [Sahih Bukhari]

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) related that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The believer will continue to be encompassed by the mercy of Allah so long as he does not shed blood that it is forbidden to shed.” al-Bukhari (6355)

The Prophet peace be upon him said: If the inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth were to take part in the spilling of a believer’s blood, Allah would throw them all into the fire. [Tirmidhi]

The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whosoever leaves off obedience and separates from the Jamaa’ah (united body) and dies, then he dies a death of jaahiliyyah. Whoever fights under a blind banner, angers for a faction or called for a faction, or gives victory to a faction and he is killed, then he has died the death of jaahiliyyah. Whosoever revolts against my Ummah, striking its righteous and its disobedient ones, not excluding the believer and not honoring the treaties of those under protection, then he is not from me and I am not from him.” [Sahih Muslim]

Narrated Junada bin Abi Umaiya: We entered upon ‘Ubada bin As-Samit while he was sick. We said, “May Allah make you healthy. Will you tell us a Hadith you heard from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and by which Allah may make you benefit?” He said, “The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم called us and we gave him the Pledge of allegiance for Islam, and among the conditions on which he took the Pledge from us, was that we were to listen and obey (the orders) both at the time when we were active and at the time when we were tired, and at our difficult time and at our ease and to be obedient to the ruler and give him his right even if he did not give us our right, and not to fight against him unless we noticed him having open Kufr (disbelief) for which we would have a proof with us from Allah.” [Sahih Bukhari Vol 9, Hadeeth 178]
