Sunan Abi Dawud 4277 (Book 37, Hadith 38) #24567
Preparing for Civil Strife

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned his companions about the dangers of civil strife and encouraged them to be prepared for death if it were to occur.

Narrated Sa'id ibn Zayd: We were with the Prophet . He mentioned civil strife (fitnah) and expressed its gravity. We or the people said: Messenger of Allah, if this happens to us it will destroy us. The Messenger of Allah said; #It is enough for you that you would be killed. Sa'id said: I saw that my brethren were killed.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، سَلاَّمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ فَذَكَرَ فِتْنَةً فَعَظَّمَ أَمْرَهَا فَقُلْنَا أَوْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ أَدْرَكَتْنَا هَذِهِ لَتُهْلِكَنَّا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ كَلاَّ إِنَّ بِحَسْبِكُمُ الْقَتْلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَرَأَيْتُ إِخْوَانِي قُتِلُوا
