Musnad Ahmad 1438 (Book 7, Hadith 31) #35057
The Warning of Trials and Tribulations

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the revelation of a verse from the Quran which warns people to be wary of trials and tribulations that can affect both good and bad people.

Az-Zubair bin al-’Awwam (رضي الله عنه) said: This verse was revealed when we were present with the Messenger of Allah : 'And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people)'. (al-Anfal 8:25). We started saying: "What is this fitnah? And we never thought that it would happen as it did".
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، قَالَ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَنَحْنُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏{‏وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً‏}‏ فَجَعَلْنَا نَقُولُ مَا هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةُ وَمَا نَشْعُرُ أَنَّهَا تَقَعُ حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ‏.‏
