B i s m i l l a h i r R a h m a n i r R a h e e m Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh! Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman (Radi-Allah-Anhu): The people used to ask Allah's Apostle (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear that it might overtake me. Once I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) We were in ignorance and in evil and Allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there by any evil after this good?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "Yes." I asked, "Will there be good after that evil?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "Yes, but it would be tained with Dakhan (i.e. Little evil)." I asked, "What will its Dakhan be?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them." I said, "Will there by any evil after that good?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) Describe those people to us." He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "They will belong to us and speak our language" I asked, "What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "Adhere to the group of Muslims and their Chief." I asked, "If there is neither a group (of Muslims) nor a chief (what shall I do)?" He (Sal-Allahu-Alleihi-Wasallam) said, "Keep away from all those different sects, even if you had to bite (i.e. eat) the root of a tree, till you meet Allah while you are still in that state."
