Aik Zamana Aisa Aye Ga | AGE OF TURMOIL
(4) Search for good gathering
An effective method of staying safe from turmoils is that one should search for a good gathering and company so that he can stay away from evils and turmoils.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Soon there will be turmoils. Those sitting away during them will be better than the standing ones; and those standing during them will be better than the walking ones; and those walking during them will be better than the running ones. And whoever peeps at them will be seized by them. So whoever finds any refuge or abode should take that refuge.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Fitn, vol. 4, pp. 435, Hadees 7081)
Commenting on the above Hadees, a renowned commentator, a great thinker of the Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـحَـنَّانْ has stated: The sitting, standing, walking and running mentioned in the above blessed saying were used in the metaphorical sense. ‘Sitting’ here means staying away from and totally unconnected with those turmoils. If anyone does not even look at them, he will remain unaffected by them. This is the way of protection from them. ‘Standing’ here means watching them from distance, becoming aware or informed about them. ‘Walking’ here implies indulging in them slightly and ‘running’ here means indulging in them greatly.’
