(Hadith No. 3606, Book of Virtues, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4). “Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yamin (RA): The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) about good, but I used to ask him about evil for fear that it might overtake me. Once, I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)! We were in ignorance and in evil, and Allah has bestowed upon us the present good; will there be any evil after this good?” he said, “Yes.” I asked, “Will there be good after that evil?” He said, “Yes, but it would be tainted with Dakhan (i.e. the little evil).” I asked, “What will its Dakhan be?” He said, “There will be some people who will lead according to principles other than my Sunnah. You will see their actions and disapprove of them.” I said, “Will there be any evil after that good?” He said, Yes, there will be some people who will invite others to the gates of Hell, and whoever accepts their invitation to it, will be thrown in it.” I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)! Describe those people to me.” He said, “They will belong to us and speak our language.” I asked, “(O Allah’s Messenger, PBUH)! What do you order me to do if such a thing should take place in my life?” He said, “Adhere to the group of Muslims and their chief.” I asked, “If there is neither a group nor a chief?” He 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.”
