Takhrij Hadith 578: "The beginning of this matter…"
On the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“
The beginning of this matter shall be Prophethood and mercy. Then there shall be a Caliphate and mercy. Then there shall be kingship and mercy. Then there shall be emirate and mercy. Then they will bite at it as donkeys bite at one another. Therefore, adhere to jihad, for indeed the best of your jihad is ribat (guarding the frontier), and the best of your ribat is Ashkelon.”
