Sunan Ibn Majah 3962 (Book 36, Hadith 37) #33317
Responding to Tribulation, Division and Dissension

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the tribulation, division and dissension that will come in the future and how one should respond to it.

It was narrated that Abu Burdah said: "I entered upon Muhammad bin Maslamah and he said that the Messenger of Allah said: 'There will be tribulation, division and dissension. When that comes, take your sword to Uhud and strike it until it breaks, then sit in your house until there comes to you the hand of the evildoer (to kill you) or a predestined (natural) death.’" "And that came to pass, and I did as the Messenger of Allah said".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، - أَوْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ شَكَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ وَفُرْقَةٌ وَاخْتِلاَفٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَأْتِ بِسَيْفِكَ أُحُدًا فَاضْرِبْهُ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ ثُمَّ اجْلِسْ فِي بَيْتِكَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَكَ يَدٌ خَاطِئَةٌ أَوْ مَنِيَّةٌ قَاضِيَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَدْ وَقَعَتْ وَفَعَلْتُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith was narrated by Abu Burdah who said that he entered upon Muhammad bin Maslamah who said that the Messenger of Allah said there will be tribulations, divisions and dissensions in the future. When this happens, one should take their sword to Uhud and strike it until it breaks then sit in their house until either a predestined death or an evildoer comes to kill them. This is what happened with Abu Burdah as he followed what the Messenger of Allah instructed him to do. This hadith teaches us that when faced with difficult times we must remain patient and trust in God's plan for us even if we don't understand why certain things are happening. We must also remember not to take matters into our own hands but instead rely on God's guidance for our lives.
