Sunan Abi Dawud 4262 (Book 37, Hadith 23) #24552
Staying Home During Turmoil

SUMMARY: During times of turmoil, it is best to stay in one's home and not get involved.

Narrated AbuMusa al-Ash'ari: The Prophet said: Before you there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening. 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) said: What do you order us to do? He replied: Keep to your houses.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ كُونُوا أَحْلاَسَ بُيُوتِكُمْ

Stay at home during times of turmoil

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of staying safe during times of turmoil. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised people to remain in their homes during such times, as it is better than getting up or walking or running. He also warned that there will be commotions like pieces of a dark night, where people may change from being believers to infidels and vice versa. This hadith teaches us that we should not get involved in any kind of conflict or dispute during such times and instead focus on our own safety by staying at home. It also reminds us that faith can be easily swayed by external influences and hence we should always strive to strengthen our faith through prayer and good deeds so as not to be affected by any kind of fitnah.
