Hadith

al-’Irbad bin Sawiyah reported that the Messenger of Allah led the people in prayer one day, then proceeded to give them an emotional speech that caused the people to weep. One of them said: “O Messenger of Allah! It is as if this is a farewell speech, so what do you advise us with?” So, he said: “I advise you to fear Allah, to listen and to obey even if an Ethiopian slave was placed in authority over you, for whoever lives after you will see great division and differences. So, it is upon you to stick to my Sunnah and that of the righly guided khalifahs after me. Bite onto it with your molar teeth, and beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is a form of misguidance.”
[Reported by Abu Dawud (4607), at-Tirmidhi (2676), Ahmad (4/126), Ibn Majah (43), ad-Darimi (1/44), al-Hakim (1/95)]

 

Mu’aqqal bin Yasar reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Worship during the times of tribulation is equivalent to a migration to me.”
['Sahih Muslim'; # 2848]

 

‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever remains silent, then he is saved.”
[Reported by at-Tirmidhi (2501), Ahmad (2/159), ad-Darimi (2/229), and Ibn al-Mubarak in 'az-Zuhd' (385)]
