"People will die, and the house will be [filled] with the servant?" — meaning the grave. I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best" — or he said: "What Allah and His Messenger have chosen for me is best." He said: "You must be patient" — or he said: "You will be patient." Then he said to me: "O Abu Dharr." I said: "At your service, and in your grace." He said: "How will you be when you see the stones of Zayt have been drowned in blood?" I said: "What Allah and His Messenger have chosen for me is best." He said: "Hold fast to the one from whom you are." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not take my sword and place it upon my shoulder?" He said: "Then you would have shared with the people [in that]." I said: "Then what do you command me?" He said: "Stay in your house." I said: "What if my house is entered upon me?" He said: "If you fear that the gleam of the sword will dazzle you, then cast your garment over your face, and he will bear your sin and his sin."(1)

(1) A sound hadith, and this chain is unique in that Hammad ibn Zayd added al-Musha'th ibn Tarif between Abu 'Imran al-Jawni and 'Abdullah ibn al-Samit, as the compiler pointed out after the hadith. The companions of Abu 'Imran differed with him and did not mention this al-Musha'th, and al-Musha'th is unknown. Abu 'Imran al-Jawni: he is 'Abd al-Malik ibn Habib al-Azdi.
It was also recorded by Ibn Majah (3958) via the chain of Hammad ibn Zayd, with this chain.
It was also recorded by 'Abd al-Razzaq (20729), and via him al-Hakim 2/156-157 and 4/423-424, and al-Baghawi (4220) via Ma'mar ibn Rashid, and Ahmad (21325), and al-Bazzar in his "Musnad" (3959), and Ibn Hibban (6685) via Marhum ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-'Attar, and Nu'aym ibn Hammad in "al-Fitan" (435), and Ibn Abi Shaybah 15/12, and Ahmad (21445), and al-Khallal in "al-Sunnah" (104) via 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd al-Samad, and al-Bazzar (3958) via Salih ibn Rustum, and Ibn Hibban (5960), and Ibn al-Mubarak in his "Musnad" (245), and al-Hakim 4/423-424 via Hammad ibn Salamah, and al-Bayhaqi 8/191 via Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaj — all of them from Abu 'Imran al-Jawni, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Samit, from Abu Dharr al-Ghifari. They did not mention in the chain: al-Musha'th ibn Tarif. And its chain is sound. =
