Hadith 37:7
Al-Fadl ibn Dukayn narrated to us, he said: Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq narrated to us, from Hilal ibn Khabbab, who said: Abdullah ibn Amr narrated to me, he said: While we were around the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the tribulation (fitna) was mentioned, or it was mentioned in his presence. He said: "When you see that the people have had their covenants corrupted and their trusts have become light, and they have become like this"—and he interlaced his fingers. He said: So I stood up to him and said: "How should I act at that time, may Allah make me a ransom for you?" He said: He said to me: "Keep to your house, hold your tongue, take what you recognize [as good], leave what you disapprove of, attend to your own affairs, and leave off the affairs of the general public."
حدثنا الفضل بن دكين قال حدثنا يونس بن أبي إسحاق عن هلال بن خباب قال حدثني عبد الله بن عمرو قال بينا نحن حول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ ذكر الفتنة أو ذكرت عنده قال فقال إذا رأيت الناس مرجت عهودهم وخفت أماناتهم وكانوا هكذا وشبك بين أصابعه قال فقمت إليه فقلت كيف أفعل عند ذلك جعلني الله فداءك قال فقال لي الزم بيتك وأمسك عليك لسانك وخذ بما تعرف وذر ما تنكر وعليك بخاصة نفسك وذر عنك أمر العامة
