During the Fitnah(in the time) of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: I testify that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'There will be a Fitnah during which the sitting person is better than the standing(person) is better than the walking, and the walking(person) is better than the running.' He said: What do you see(I should do) if he entered upon me in my homeand extended hos hand to kill me? He said: 'Be as Adam's son.'
