حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ عَنِ الْفِتَنِ فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَهُ ؟ قَالُوا: نَحْنُ، قَالَ: لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْنُونَ فِتْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ، قَالُوا: أَجَلْ، قَالَ: لَا، تِلْكَ تُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ، وَالصِّيَامُ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الْفِتَنِ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ مَوْجَ الْبَحْرِ ؟ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: لَجَرِيءٌ - قَالَ: قُلْتُ تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ فَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أَنْكَرَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ، وَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أُشْرِبَ مِنْهَا أَوِ اسْتُشْرِبَ لَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ الْقَلْبُ عَلَى قَلْبَيْنِ قَلْبٍ أَبْيَضَ كَالصَّفَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ فِتْنَةٌ مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ، وَآخَرَ أَسْوَدَ مُجَخِّيًا لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا، وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا إِلَّا مَا أُشْرِبَ مِنْ هَوَاهُ " وَحَدَّثْتُهُ أَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُكْسَرَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " لَوْ أَنَّهُ فُتِحَ كَانَ يُعَادُ فَيُغْلَقُ قُلْتُ: لَا بَلْ يُكْسَرُ " وَحَدَّثْتُهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ قَتْلُ رَجُلٍ أَوْ مَوْتُهُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ

✧ "I was sitting with 'Umar when his companions asked him about trials (fitan). He said: 'Which of you heard it?' They said: 'We did.' He said: 'Perhaps you mean the trial of a man in his family, wealth, and children.' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'No, those are expiated by prayer, fasting, and charity. But which of you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ speak about the trials that surge like the waves of the sea?' The people fell silent. I said: 'I did.' He said: 'You are—I think he said—bold.' I said: 'Trials are presented to the hearts. Any heart that rejects them will have a white mark made in it, and any heart that absorbs them or is made to absorb them will have a black mark made in it, until the heart becomes one of two hearts: a white heart like a smooth stone, unharmed by any trial as long as the heavens and the earth remain, and another black heart, murky, that neither recognizes good nor rejects evil except what it has absorbed of its own desire.' And I told him that between them and that is a closed door that is about to be broken. 'Umar said: 'If it were opened, it might be closed again.' I said: 'No, rather it will be broken.' And I told him that that door is the killing of a man or his death—a narration without errors."
