4940. رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لَيَغشَيَنَّ اُمَّتِي مِن بَعدي فِتَنٌ كَقِطَعِ الليلِ المُظلِمِ ، يُصبِحُ الرجُلُ فيها مؤمِناً ويُمسِي كافِراً ، ويُمسِي مؤمِناً ويُصبِحُ كافِراً ، يَبيعُ أقوامٌ دِينَهُم بعَرَضٍ مِن الدنيا قَليلٍ1

Groups will sell their religion for a small offer of the world.'2
