But I will never cause your nation to beoverwhelmed by famine that would destroy them all, and I will notgather their enemies against them (and destroy them) until theyannihilate one another and kill one another.’ Once they start tofightamongst themselves, that will continue until the Day ofResurrection.What I fear most for my nation is misguiding leaders.Some tribesamong my nation will worship idols and some tribes amongmy nationwill join the idolaters.

He said: “Therehas never been a Prophet before me who was not obliged to tell hisnation of what he knew was good for them, and to warn against what heknew was bad for them. With regard to this nation of yours, soundness(of religious commitment) and well-being has been placed in itsearlier generations and the last of them will be afflicted withcalamities and things that you dislike. Then there will cometribulations which will make the earlier ones pale into significance,and the believer will say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ thenrelief will come. Then (more) tribulations will come and the believerwill say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ then relief will come.Whoever would like to be taken far away from Hell and admitted toParadise, let him die believing in Allah and the Last Day, and lethim treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever gives hisoath of allegiance to a ruler and gives a sincere promise, let himobey him as much as he can, and if another comes and challenges him,let them strike the neck (i.e., kill) the second one.’” He the narrator said: “I raised my head among the people and said: 'I adjure you by Allah, did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?'

Their hearts arelamps of guidanceand they get out of every trial and difficulty.’”
