حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدِّمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَکُونُ فِتَنٌ عَلَی أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَی النَّارِ فَأَنْ تَمُوتَ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَی جِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ خَيْرٌ لَکَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتْبَعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3981
It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "There will be tribulations at the gates of which will be callers (calling people) to Hell. Dying when you are biting onto the stump of a tree will be better for you than following anyone of them." (Sahih)
