Trials and Fierce Battles (Kitab Al-Fitan Wa Al-Malahim)

Dawud :: Book 35 : Hadith 4251

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There will be civil strife (fitnah) which will render people deaf, dumb and blind regarding what is right. Those who contemplate it will be drawn by it, and giving rein to the tongue during it will be like smiting with the sword.
