عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّهُ تُصِيبُ أُمَّتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِمْ شَدَائِدُ لَا يَنْجُو مِنْهُ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ عَرَفَ دِينَ اللَّهِ فَجَاهَدَ ⦗١٤٢٦⦘ عَلَيْهِ بِلِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي سَبَقَتْ لَهُ السَّوَابِقُ وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ دِينَ اللَّهِ فَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ دِينَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ رَأَى مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الْخَيْرَ أَحَبَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ رَأَى مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِبَاطِلٍ أَبْغَضَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَذَلِكَ يَنْجُو على إبطانه كُله»
'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "My ummah will have to endure distress (trials and hardship) from their rulers during the last days. No one will escape from that except (i) A man who understand Allah's religion and strives for it with his tongue, his hand and his heart. He is one having perfect faith (and will attain the blessing of both the worlds).(ii) A man who understands Allah's religion (but he is one degree lower than the other) and he believes in it (but cannot use his hand to uphold it and merely uses his tongue and heart to detest evil).(iii) A man who understands Allah's religion (to some extent) but keeps quiet (striving for it only with his heart). When he sees someone do good, he loves him because of it but if he sees someone do wrong, he hates him because of it. He too will escape because of what he concealed in his heart." [1]
