Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There will be Fitan (trials and afflictions etc.) (in the near future) during which a sitting person will be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than the walking one, and the walking one will be better than the running one, and whoever will expose himself to these Fitan (trials and afflictions etc.), they will destory him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it." [9:202-O.B]
