مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِسُنَّتِي عِنْدَ فَسَادِ أُمَّتِي، فَلَهُ أَجْرُ مِائَةِ شَهِيدٍ
Translation: Whoever holds firmly to my Sunnah during corruption in my community will have the reward of one hundred martyrs.
Source: البيهقي
تَمَسَّكَ بِـ means to hold firmly and remain committed. The final ي in سُنَّتِي means “my,” yielding “my Sunnah.” عِنْدَ فَسَادِ أُمَّتِي specifies a time of corruption, while فَلَهُ أَجْرُ introduces the consequence.
Remaining connected to Prophetic guidance in a difficult moral environment requires perseverance. Following the Sunnah calls for informed, balanced practice and good character, rather than using religious commitment as an excuse for harshness toward others.
