Arabic (Original)
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِتَنًا كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي كَافِرًا وَيُمْسِي مُؤْمِنًا وَيُصْبِحُ كَافِرًا الْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ السَّاعِي قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ كُونُوا أَحْلَاسَ بُيُوتِكُمْ.
English Translation
He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Ahead of you there are trials like pieces of a dark night; a man will awaken a believer and become an unbeliever by evening, or awaken an unbeliever and become a believer by evening. The one sitting during them is better than the one standing, and the one standing is better than the one walking, and the one walking is better than the one running." They said, "What do you command us to do?" He said, "Be like the mats of your houses."
