حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ
أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ مِنْ عِنْدِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: لَمَّا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَمْسِ، سَأَلَ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْفِتَنِ؟ فَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَاهُ. قَالَ: لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْنُونَ فِتْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ؟ قَالُوا: أَجَلْ. قَالَ: لَسْتُ عَنْ تِلْكَ أَسْأَلُ، تِلْكَ يُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْفِتَنِ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ مَوْجَ الْبَحْرِ؟ قَالَ: فَأَسْكَتَ الْقَوْمُ، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ إِيَّايَ يُرِيدُ قُلْتُ: أَنَا. قَالَ لِي: أَنْتَ لِلهِ أَبُوكَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ عَرْضَ الْحَصِيرِ، فَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أَنْكَرَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ، وَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أُشْرِبَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، حَتَّى يَصِيرَ الْقَلْبُ عَلَى قَلْبَيْنِ: أَبْيَضَ مِثْلِ الصَّفَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ فِتْنَةٌ مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ، وَالْآخَرُ أَسْوَدُ مُرْبَدٌّ كَالْكُوزِ مُجَخِّيًا وَأَمَالَ كَفَّهُ، لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا، وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا إِلَّا مَا أُشْرِبَ مِنْ هَوَاهُ.

✧ He came from Umar and said, "When we sat with him yesterday, he asked the companions of Muhammad ﷺ, 'Which of you has heard a statement from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about trials?' They said, 'We have heard it.' He said, 'Perhaps you mean the trial of a man with his family and wealth?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am not asking about that. As for that, prayer, fasting, and charity expiate it. But which of you has heard a statement from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the trials that toss about like waves of the sea?' The people remained silent, and I thought that he was addressing me. So I said, 'I have.' He said, 'You are a father to Allah.' He said, 'The trials are presented to the hearts - just like a reed mat. Any heart that rejects them will have a white spot placed in it, and any heart that agrees to them will have a black spot placed in it. Until the heart becomes like two white hearts, neither trial will harm it as long as the heavens and the earth remain. And the latter will be black and murky, like a boiling cauldron. And it will be filled with hopes, not knowing the good or rejecting the evil, except for what it has been made to drink from its whims.'"
