We gathered round the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, and he addressed us, saying, „There was a obligation
upon each Prophet before me to instruct his nation in that which he
knew was good and to warn them against that which he knew to be
evil. As for your nation its safety is in its beginning and its end will
encounter misfortune and matters which you will deny.
Then, one misfortune will make its predecessor appear light. One
calamity will arrive and a believer will say, „This is my ruin‟, and it will
pass and another will approach and he will say, „This is the one, this
is the one.‟ Therefore whosoever desires to be removed from the
Fire and to enter Paradise should face his death believing in Allah
and the Last Day, and should deal with others in the same way he
wishes to be loved.
Whosoever has sworn allegiance to one leader and committed his
hand and his heart to him should obey him as much as he can. If
another should contest the authority of that leader he should be
beheaded.”
