Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will
be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than a walking one, and the walking
one will be better than a running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will
destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 92, Hadith 33

(Al-Ahnaf said:) I went out carrying my arms during the nights of the affliction (i.e. the war between
`Ali and `Aisha) and Abu Bakra met me and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I intend to help
the cousin of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (i.e.,`Ali)." Abu Bakra said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'If two Muslims take
out their swords to fight each other, then both of them will be from amongst the people of the Hell-
Fire.' It was said to the Prophet, 'It is alright for the killer but what about the killed one?' He replied,
'The killed one had the intention to kill his opponent.'" (See Hadith No. 30, Vol. 1)
