Hadith no. 8: “Exit from Trials Lies in Returning to the Earliest Affair.”
Abu Wāqid al-Laythī (Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
“Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) said, while we were all sitting on a rug: ‘Indeed there will be trials.’ They asked: ‘So, how are we to behave, O Messenger of Allah?’ So, he returned his hand to the rug and took hold of it tightly and said: ‘This is how you shall behave!’
Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ʿalaihi wasallam) said to them one day: ‘Indeed, there will be trials.’ But many of the people had not heard him. So Muʿādh Ibn Jabal (Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘Did you not hear what Allah’s Messenger has said?’ They replied: ‘What did he say?’ He repeated: ‘Indeed, there will be trials.’ They asked: ‘How should we behave, O Messenger of Allah? And what should we do?’ He replied: ‘You shall return to your affair as it was in the beginning.’”
