Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حِمْشَاذٍ الْعَدْلُ أَنْبَأَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ أَنَّ كَثِيرَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ ثَنَا مَيْمُونُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ صِفِّينَ وَكَانُوا لَا يُجِيزُونَ عَلَى جَرِيحٍ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ مُوَلِّيًا وَلَا يَسْلُبُونَ قَتِيلًا

Narrations about the Prophet's predictions of future trials and his guidance on how to navigate them. He said: "There will be trials in which the sitting person is better than the standing, the standing better than the walking, and the walking better than the running." He advised avoiding active participation in civil strife.
