What is the interpretation of the Hadith narrated by Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd Rabb al-Ka'bah from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, which includes the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Indeed, there was no prophet before me except that it was his duty to guide his nation to the best of what he knew for them and to warn them against the worst of what he knew for them. And this nation of yours, its well-being was placed in its beginning, and its latter part will be afflicted with tribulations and matters that you will disapprove of. And a tribulation will come, and some parts of it will make others thin, and a tribulation will come, and the believer will say, 'This is my destruction,' then it will be removed. And a tribulation will come, and the believer will say, 'This is it, this is it.' So whoever wishes to be removed from the Fire and entered into Paradise, let his death come upon him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat people as he wishes to be treated. And whoever pledges allegiance to an Imam and gives him the clasp of his hand and the fruit of his heart, let him obey him if he is able. For if another comes to dispute him, strike the neck of the latter"?

The aforementioned hadith contains the comprehensive words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his wondrous wisdom. He informed about the tribulations that would occur in this Ummah, preceded by an explanation of the prophets' mission to guide their nations to good and warn them against evil. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave anything beneficial to the Ummah except that he commanded them with it, nor anything evil except that he forbade them from it and warned them against it.

The hadith, after warning against tribulations, directs the Ummah to the path of salvation from them, which is faith in Allah and the Last Day, righteous deeds, and treating people as one wishes to be treated.

As for the words that need interpretation: - "ينتضل" (Yantadhil): From munadhalah, which is shooting arrows or competing in speech and poetry. - "في جشره" (Fi jasharihi): Among his livestock that he takes out to pasture. - "يصلح خباءه" (Yuslihu khaba'ahu): He sets up his tent. The meaning is that everyone went to attend to their own affairs. - "الصلاة جامعة" (As-Salatu jami'ah): Meaning, come to the prayer and gather for it.

An-Nawawi's interpretation of the narrator's words, who comprehended the hadith and confirmed his hearing of it: The narrator thought that the description of disputing the first Caliph and killing the second applied to Mu'awiyah's dispute with Ali, and that Mu'awiyah's spending on his soldiers in fighting Ali was consuming wealth unjustly and killing without right.

The summary of Abdullah ibn Amr's statement: Obedience is only in what is good, and there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator.
