✧ He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—or he said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—when a man came to him and said: “Are you the Messenger of Allah?”—or he said: “Are you Muhammad?” He replied: “Yes.” He said: “To what do you call?” He said: “I call to Allah alone—the One who, when harm befalls you and you call upon Him, removes it from you; the One who, when a year of drought afflicts you and you call upon Him, makes [vegetation] grow for you; and the One who, when you are in a desolate land and lose your way and call upon Him, restores [your way] to you.” He said: The man embraced Islam, then said: “Instruct me, O Messenger of Allah.” He said to him: “Do not revile anyone”—or he said: “anything”—al-Hakam was uncertain. He said: “I have not reviled anything, neither a camel nor a sheep, since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed me. And do not disdain any act of kindness, even if it be meeting your brother with a cheerful face while you speak to him. And pour from your bucket into the vessel of one seeking water.

✧ From some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to them one morning while he was in a good mood and his face was radiant.

He said, "What prevents me from being in a good mood when my Lord came to me last night in the best form?" He said, "O Muhammad, I said, 'Here I am at Your service, my Lord, and happy for You.' He said, 'What are the disputing angels disputing about?' I said, 'I do not know, my Lord.' He said, 'That was twice or thrice.' He said, 'Then He placed His hand between my shoulders and I felt its coolness between my chest until I saw what is in the heavens and the earth.' Then he recited this verse, 'And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth' [Quran 6:75]. He said, 'O Muhammad, what were the disputing angels disputing about?' He said, 'I said, 'About the expiations.' He said, 'And what are the expiations?' I said, 'Walking to the congregational prayer, sitting in the mosques after the prayers, and the extra ablution in disliked times.' He said, 'Whoever does that, lives and dies in goodness, and he will be rewarded for his sins as the day his mother gave birth to him.' And among the levels of goodness are speaking kindly, spreading peace, feeding others, praying at night while people are asleep.' He said, 'O Muhammad, when you pray, say, 'O Allah, I ask You for goodness, abandoning evil, love for the poor, and that You may forgive me. And when you wish to afflict the people with a trial, take me unto You before that.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated two hadiths to us; I have seen one of them, and I am awaiting the other. He narrated to us that the trust descended into the roots of men's hearts, then the Qur'an descended, and they learned from the Qur'an and learned from the Sunnah. Then he narrated to us about the removal of the trust, saying: "A man sleeps a sleep and the trust is grasped from his heart, leaving a trace like the trace of a blister. Then he sleeps another sleep and the trust is grasped from his heart, leaving a trace like the trace of a callus, like an ember you roll over your foot; you see it raised but there is nothing in it." He said: Then he took some pebbles and rolled them over his foot. He said: "Then the people wake up trading with one another, and hardly anyone fulfills the trust, until it is said: 'Among the tribe of so-and-so there is a trustworthy man.' Until it is said of a man: 'How tough he is, how charming he is, how intelligent he is,' while there is not a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart. And indeed, a time has come upon me when I did not care which of you I traded with: if he was a Muslim, his religion would return it to me, and if he was a Christian or a Jew, his authority would return it to me. But today, I would not trade with any of you except so-and-so and so-and-so."

When he finished, Hudhayfah said to him: "For how long have you been praying this prayer of yours?" He said: "For forty years." He said: Hudhayfah said to him: "You have not prayed for forty years. If you were to die while this is your prayer, you would die upon other than the natural disposition upon which Muhammad ﷺ was created."

أَحْصُوا لِي كَمْ يَلْفِظُ الْإِسْلَامَ، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّمِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا قَالَ: فَابْتُلِينَا، حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا.
✧ "Count for me how many are professing Islam." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us while we are between six and seven hundred?" He said: "Indeed, you do not know—perhaps you will be tested." He said: So we were tested, until a man among us would pray only in secret.

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قَالَ: فَافْتَتَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ رَأْسَ الْمِائَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمِائَتَيْنِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَرْكَعُ، ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَرْكَعُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَقَرَأَهَا قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَكَعَ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ قَالَ: وَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ قِيَامِهِ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ مِثْلَ رُكُوعِهِ، وَقَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ سَأَلَ، وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا عَذَابٌ تَعَوَّذَ، وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَنْزِيهٌ لِلهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] سَبَّحَ.
✧ I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night, and he began reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. He recited until he reached the verse of one hundred, at which point I thought he would bow. However, he continued reciting until he reached the verse of two hundred, and again I thought he would bow. But he continued reciting until he completed the Surah. I then thought he would bow, but he said: "Then he began reciting Surah An-Nisa. He recited it, then he bowed. In his bowing, he said: "Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great." His bowing was the same length as his standing. Then he prostrated and his prostration was as long as his bowing. In his prostration, he said: "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High." Whenever he passed by a verse of mercy, he would ask for mercy, and whenever he passed by a verse of punishment, he sought refuge (with Allah), and whenever he passed by a verse in which Allah was glorified, he would glorify (Allah).

جَاءَ السَّيِّدُ وَالْعَاقِبُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ابْعَثْ مَعَنَا أَمِينَكَ. وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً: أَمِينًا. قَالَ: سَأَبْعَثُ مَعَكُمْ أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ قَالَ: فَتَشَرَّفَ لَهَا النَّاسُ، فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ
✧ The sayyid and the ʿāqib came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, send with us your trustworthy one.' Wakīʿ once said, 'a trustworthy man.' He said, 'I will send with you a trustworthy man, truly trustworthy.' The people vied for that, and he sent Abū ʿUbaydah b. al-Jarrāḥ.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ stood among us in a standing, and he did not leave anything that will occur before the Hour except that he mentioned it in that standing. Those who memorized it memorized it, and those who forgot it forgot it. Hudhayfah said, 'Indeed I see things that I had forgotten, and I recognize them just as a man recognizes the face of a man who had been absent from him — he sees him and recognizes him.' And Wakīʿ once said, 'So he saw him and recognized him.'
Musnad Ahmad 23275Sahih
سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، حَتَّى مَسْحِ الْحَصَى فَقَالَ: وَاحِدَةً أَوْ دَعْ

لَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ، مَعَهُ نَهَرَانِ يَجْرِيَانِ: أَحَدُهُمَا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ مَاءٌ أَبْيَضُ، وَالْآخَرُ رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ نَارٌ تَأَجَّجُ، فَإِمَّا أَدْرَكَنَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِ النَّهَرَ الَّذِي يَرَاهُ نَارًا، فَلْيُغْمِضْ ثُمَّ لْيُطَأْطِئْ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَشْرَبْ فَإِنَّهُ مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ، وَإِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى، عَلَيْهَا ظَفَرَةٌ غَلِيظَةٌ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ، يَقْرَؤُهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ كَاتِبٍ وَغَيْرِ كَاتِبٍ.
✧ I indeed know better than the Dajjal what is with the Dajjal. With him are two flowing rivers: one appears to the eye as white water, and the other appears to the eye as blazing fire. If any of you reaches him, let him go to the river that he sees as fire, then let him close his eyes, then lower his head and drink, for it is cold water. And the Dajjal has a defective left eye, upon it a thick covering, and between his eyes is written 'kafir' (disbeliever), which every believer, literate or illiterate, can read.
Musnad Ahmad 23280Sahih
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.'"

✧ I came to al-Yashkuri in a group from Banu Layth. He said: He asked, 'Who are the people?' We said, 'Banu Layth.' He said: We asked him and he asked us, then we said, 'We have come to ask you about the hadith of Hudhayfah.' He said: We returned with Abu Musa as travelers, and the riding animals became expensive in Kufah. So I and a companion of mine sought permission from Abu Musa, and he permitted us. We arrived in Kufah early in the day. I said to my companion, 'I am entering the mosque, and when the market opens I will come out to you.' He said: I entered the mosque and found a circle of people, as if their heads had been cut off, listening to the speech of a man. I stood over them. A man came and stood beside me. I said, 'Who is this?' He said, 'Are you from Basrah?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'I knew it. If you were from Kufah you would not ask about this. This is Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman.' He said: So I drew near to him and heard him say: The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, but I used to ask him about evil, knowing that good would not overtake me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this good will there be evil?' He said, 'O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and follow what is in it' — three times. He said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this good will there be evil?' He said, 'A tribulation and evil.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this evil will there be good?' He said, 'O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and follow what is in it' — three times. He said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this evil will there be good?' He said, 'A truce upon corruption, and a community upon grudges.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is a truce upon corruption?' He said, 'The hearts of some people will not return to what they were upon.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this good will there be evil?' He said, 'O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and follow what is in it' — three times. He said: I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, after this good will there be evil?' He said, 'A blind and deaf tribulation, with callers at the gates of the Fire. If you die, O Hudhayfah, while biting onto a tree stump, that is better for you than following any one of them.'

انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ لَيَالِيَ سَارَ النَّاسُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا رِبْعِيُّ، مَا فَعَلَ قَوْمُكَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: عَنْ أَيِّ بَالِهِمْ تَسْأَلُ؟ قَالَ: مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَسَمَّيْتُ رِجَالًا فِيمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ وَاسْتَذَلَّ الْإِمَارَةَ لَقِيَ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] وَلَا وَجْهَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ
✧ I went to Hudhayfah at al-Mada'in during the nights when the people marched against Uthman. He said, 'O Rib'i, what did your people do?' I said, 'About which of their affairs do you ask?' He said, 'Who among them went out to this man?' So I named some men among those who went out to him. He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever separates from the community and humiliates the authority will meet Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with no standing before Him.'

أَتَيْتُ عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ أُسْرِيَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَوِ انْطَلَقْنَا [فَلَقِيَنَا] حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلَاهُ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلْ دَخَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ، وَصَلَّى فِيهِ. قَالَ: مَا اسْمُكَ يَا أَصْلَعُ؟ فَإِنِّي أَعْرِفُ وَجْهَكَ وَلَا أَدْرِي مَا اسْمُكَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَنَا زِرُّ بْنُ حُبَيْشٍ. قَالَ: فَمَا عِلْمُكَ بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِيهِ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْقُرْآنُ يُخْبِرُنِي بِذَلِكَ. قَالَ: مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَلَجَ، اقْرَأْ. قَالَ: فَقَرَأْتُ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ. قَالَ: يَا أَصْلَعُ، هَلْ تَجِدُ صَلَّى فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا. قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ، لَوْ صَلَّى فِيهِ لَكُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَلَاةٌ فِيهِ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَلَاةٌ فِي الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ، وَاللهِ مَا زَايَلَا الْبُرَاقَ حَتَّى فُتِحَتْ لَهُمَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، فَرَأَيَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَوَعْدَ الْآخِرَةِ أَجْمَعَ، ثُمَّ عَادَا عَوْدَهُمَا عَلَى بَدْئِهِمَا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ نَوَاجِذَهُ قَالَ: وَيُحَدِّثُونَ أَنَّهُ رَبَطَهُ، أَلِيَفِرَّ مِنْهُ ؟ وَإِنَّمَا سَخَّرَهُ لَهُ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ
✧ I came to Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman while he was narrating about the night journey of Muhammad ﷺ, and he was saying: 'So I set out, or we set out, until we came to Jerusalem, and they did not enter it.' I said, 'Rather, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered it that night and prayed in it.' He said, 'What is your name, O bald one? For I recognize your face but do not know your name.' I said, 'I am Zirr b. Hubaysh.' He said, 'What do you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in it that night?' I said, 'The Quran informs me of that.' He said, 'Whoever argues with the Quran has prevailed. Recite.' So I recited: 'Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque...' He said, 'I do not find that he prayed in it.' He said, 'O bald one, do you find that he prayed in it?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray in it that night. If he had prayed in it, prayer would have been prescribed for you in it, just as prayer was prescribed for you in the Ancient House. By Allah, they did not leave the Buraq until the gates of heaven were opened for them, and they saw Paradise, Hell, and all the promise of the Hereafter. Then they returned as they had come.' He said: Then he laughed until I saw his molar teeth. He said: 'And they narrate that he tied it. Would it flee from him? Rather, the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed made it subservient to him.'

✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to say when he lay down at night, placing his right hand under his right cheek: 'O Allah, in Your name I live and in Your name I die.' And when he woke up at night he would say: 'Praise be to Allah who gave me life after He caused me to die, and to Him is the resurrection.'

✧ A man asked during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and the people held back. Then a man gave to him, and the people gave. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever initiates a good practice and it is followed, he will have its reward and the rewards of those who follow him, without diminishing their rewards in any way. And whoever initiates an evil practice and it is followed, he will bear its burden and the burdens of those who follow him, without diminishing their burdens in any way.'

Hudhayfah said: Then all those people went away except me.

✧ I stood with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night, and he recited the seven long surahs in seven rak'ahs. When he raised his head from bowing, he would say: “Allah hears the one who praises Him,” then he would say: “Praise be to Allah, Possessor of sovereignty, might, pride, and greatness.” His bowing was like his standing, and his prostration was like his bowing. Then he finished, and my legs had almost broken.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَقْتُلُوا إِمَامَكُمْ وَتَجْتَلِدُوا بِأَسْيَافِكُمْ وَيَرِثُ دُنْيَاكُمْ شِرَارُكُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the Hour. He said: "Its knowledge is with my Lord; none but He will manifest it at its time. But I will tell you of its signs and what will occur before it. Indeed, before it there will be tribulation and harj." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, tribulation we know, but what is harj?" He said: "In the language of the Abyssinians, killing. And alienation will be cast among the people, so that hardly anyone will recognize anyone."

✧ We came to Hudhayfah and said: "Direct us to the person closest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in guidance, conduct, and manner, so that we may learn from him and listen to him." He said: "The person closest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in guidance, conduct, and manner was Ibn Umm 'Abd, until he would disappear from me in his house. And the preserved ones among the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ knew that Ibn Umm 'Abd was among the closest of them to Allah in nearness."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us in a stance in which he did not leave out anything that would occur before the Hour except that he mentioned it. Whoever memorized it memorized it, and whoever forgot it forgot it. Indeed, I see a thing and I remember it as a man remembers the face of a man who was absent from him, then he saw him and recognized him.

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ passed by a verse of fear, he would seek refuge, and when he passed by a verse of mercy, he would ask. He said: "And when the Prophet ﷺ bowed, he said: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent,' and when he prostrated, he said: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.'"

The people said to him, "Tell him since he asked you." He said, "We were told that they were fourteen." Abu Nu'aym said: The man said, "We were told that they were fourteen." He said, "If you were among them"—and Abu Nu'aym said, "among them"—"then the people were fifteen, and I bear witness by God that twelve of them are at war with God and His Messenger in the life of this world and on the day when witnesses stand forth." Abu Ahmad said: "the witnesses." "And we excused three, who said, 'We did not hear the caller of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and we did not know what the people intended.'" Abu Ahmad said in his narration: "He was in a stony tract and walked, so he said to the people, 'The water is little, so let no one get to it before me.' He found people who had preceded him, so he cursed them that day."

✧ My mother asked me, "How long has it been since you were with the Prophet ﷺ?" I said to her, "Since such and such a time." She reproached me and reviled me. I said to her, "Let me go to the Prophet ﷺ, pray the sunset prayer with him, then not leave him until he asks forgiveness for me and for you." So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and prayed the sunset prayer with him. The Prophet ﷺ then prayed until the night prayer, then he left, and I followed him. Someone approached him and conversed with him privately, then went away. I followed him, and he heard my voice and said, "Who is this?" I said, "Hudhayfah." He said, "What is the matter?" I told him the matter. He said, "May God forgive you and your mother." Then he said, "Did you see the one who approached me a short while ago?" I said, "Yes." He said, "He is an angel who had never descended to earth before this night.

✧ A young man among us, from the people of Kufa, said to Ḥudhayfah b. al-Yamān: "O Abū ʿAbd Allāh, did you see the Messenger of God ﷺ and accompany him?" He said: "Yes, O son of my brother." He said: "What would you do?" He said: "By God, we used to strive hard." He said: "By God, had we caught up with him, we would not have let him walk on the ground; we would have carried him on our shoulders." Ḥudhayfah said: "O son of my brother, by God, I saw us with the Messenger of God ﷺ at the Trench. The Messenger of God ﷺ prayed for a long while of the night, then turned to us and said: 'Who is a man who will stand and see for us what the people have done? The Messenger of God ﷺ stipulates for him that he will return, and God will admit him to Paradise.' No man stood. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ prayed for a long while of the night, then turned to us and said: 'Who is a man who will stand and see for us what the people have done, then return? The Messenger of God ﷺ stipulates for him the return. I ask God that he be my companion in Paradise.' No man of the people stood, despite severe fear, severe hunger, and severe cold. When no one stood, the Messenger of God ﷺ called me, and I had no choice but to stand when he called me. He said: 'O Ḥudhayfah, go and enter among the people and see what they are doing, but do not do anything until you come to us.' He said: 'I went and entered among the people, while the wind and the forces of God were doing what they do—no pot, fire, or structure remained stable for them. Abū Sufyān b. Ḥarb stood and said: "O people of Quraysh, let each man look who is beside him." Ḥudhayfah said: 'I took the hand of the man beside me and said, "Who are you?" He said, "I am so-and-so b. so-and-so." Then Abū Sufyān said: "O people of Quraysh, by God, you are no longer in a place of staying. The horses have perished, the Banū Qurayẓa have betrayed us and we have heard from them what we dislike, and we have faced from this wind what you see. By God, no pot stays still for us, no fire stands for us, and no structure holds for us. So depart, for I am departing." Then he stood up to his camel, which was hobbled, sat on it, then struck it, and it jumped up on three legs. He did not release its hobble except while it was standing. Had it not been for the Messenger of God's ﷺ instruction, "Do not do anything until you come to me," then I could have killed him with an arrow.' Ḥudhayfah said: 'Then I returned to the Messenger of God ﷺ while he was standing praying in a striped cloak belonging to one of his wives. When he saw me, he brought me into his saddle and threw over me the edge of the cloak, then he bowed and prostrated while I was in it. When he said the salutation, I told him the news. And Ghaṭafān heard what Quraysh had done, so they hastened back to their lands.'
سَمِعْتُ هَذَا يَقُولُ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ يَقُولُ مَا بِي بَأْسٌ فِيمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَئِنْ اقْتَتَلْتُمْ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ أَقْصَى بَيْتٍ مٍنْ دَارِي فَلَأَدْخُلَنَّهُ فَلَئِنْ دُخِلَ عَلَيَّ لَأَقُولَنَّ هَا بُؤْ بِإِثْمِي وَإِثْمِكَ أَوْ بِذَنْبِي وَذَنْبِكَ
✧ I heard this one—meaning Ḥudhayfah—say: "I have no objection to what I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ. If you fight one another, I will look for the farthest house from my home and enter it. If someone enters upon me, I will say: 'Here, bear my sin and your sin'—or 'my wrongdoing and your wrongdoing.'"

✧ That he heard Ḥudhayfah b. al-Yamān say: "The Messenger of God ﷺ was absent from us one day and did not come out until we thought he would never come out. When he came out, he prostrated with a single prostration, and we thought that his soul had been taken during it. When he raised his head, he said: 'My Lord consulted me about my community—what should I do with them? I said, "Whatever You will, O Lord; they are Your creation and Your servants." He consulted me a second time, and I said the same to Him. He said, "I will not grieve you concerning your community, O Muḥammad." And He gave me glad tidings that the first of my community to enter Paradise with me will be seventy thousand, with every thousand accompanied by seventy thousand, upon whom there will be no reckoning. Then He sent to me and said, "Supplicate, and you will be answered; ask, and you will be given." I said to His messenger, "Will my Lord give me what I ask?" He said, "He did not send me to you except to give you." And my Lord has given me—and I do not say this out of pride—and forgiven me my past and future sins, while I walk alive and healthy. He has given me that my community will not starve and will not be overcome. He has given me al-Kawthar, a river from Paradise that flows into my basin. He has given me might, victory, and fear that runs a month's journey before my community. He has given me that I will be the first of the prophets to enter Paradise. He has made spoils good for me and my community, and has made lawful for us much of what was stringent upon those before us, and has not placed upon us any hardship.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ أَنْظُرُكُمْ لَيُرْفَعُ لِي رِجَالٌ مِنْكُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا عَرَفْتُهُمْ اخْتُلِجُوا دُونِي فَأَقُولُ رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي أَصْحَابِي فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I am your forerunner at the basin. I will look out for you. Men from among you will be raised up to me until, when I recognize them, they will be snatched away before me. I will say, 'My Lord, my companions, my companions.' It will be said, 'You do not know what they introduced after you.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ مِنْهُ إِنَّ مَعَهُ نَارًا تُحْرِقُ وَقَالَ حُسَيْنٌ مَرَّةً تَحْرُقُ وَنَهْرَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلَا يَهْلَكَنَّ بِهِ لِيُغْمِضْ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلْيَقَعْ فِي الَّتِي يَرَاهَا نَارًا فَإِنَّهَا نَهْرُ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ
✧ That he said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "I know better what is with the Dajjāl than he does. With him is a fire that burns"—and Ḥusayn said once, "that burns"—"and a river of cold water. Whoever of you catches up with him, let him not perish by it; let him close his eyes and fall into what he sees as fire, for it is a river of cold water."

✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I saw in a dream that I met some of the People of the Book, and they said: 'What a good people you are, were it not that you say, "Whatever God wills and Muḥammad wills."'". The Prophet ﷺ said: "I used to dislike that from you. Say: 'Whatever God wills, then Muḥammad wills.'"

✧ There was sharpness on my tongue toward my family that I did not extend to others. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: "Where are you from seeking forgiveness, O Ḥudhayfah? I seek forgiveness from God a hundred times every day and turn to Him in repentance." He said: "I mentioned it to Abū Burdah b. Abī Mūsā, and he narrated to me from Abū Mūsā that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'I seek forgiveness from God a hundred times every day and night and turn to Him in repentance.'"

✧ Ḥudhayfah said: "The closest of people in guidance and manner to the Messenger of God ﷺ, from the time he leaves his house until he returns—though I do not know what he does with his family—is ʿAbd Allāh b. Masʿūd. By God, the memorizers among the companions of Muḥammad ﷺ know that ʿAbd Allāh is among the nearest of them to God in mediation on the Day of Resurrection."

✧ That the Messenger of God ﷺ was brought the Burāq—a white, long beast that placed its hoof at the limit of its gaze. He said: "He did not leave its back, he and Gabriel, until they came to Jerusalem, and the gates of heaven were opened for them, and they saw Paradise and the Fire." He said: "Ḥudhayfah said: 'And he did not pray in Jerusalem.'" Zirr said: "I said, 'Yes, he did pray.'" Ḥudhayfah said: "What is your name, O bald one? I recognize your face but do not know your name." He said: "I said, 'I am Zirr b. Ḥubaysh.'" He said: "And what makes you know? Do you find that he prayed?" He said: "I said, 'Because of God's words: {Glory be to Him who took His servant by night} [al-Isrāʾ:1]'—the verse." He said: "Do you find that he prayed? Had he prayed in it, we would have prayed in it as we pray in the Sacred Mosque." And it was said to Ḥudhayfah: "He tied the beast to the ring by which the prophets tie it." Ḥudhayfah said: "Was he afraid that it might leave when God had brought it to him?"

Hudhayfah said, 'But I knew that it would turn back on its heels without shedding even a cupping-glass full of blood therein. I only knew that from something I learned while Muhammad ﷺ was alive, that a man would wake up a believer and by evening have nothing of it left, and would spend the evening a believer and wake up with nothing of it left. He fights his faction today, and God kills him tomorrow; his heart is overturned and his buttocks are uppermost.' I said, 'His lower part?' He said, 'His buttocks.'
Musnad Ahmad 23349Sahih
حُذَيْفَةُ وَاللهِ لَا تَدَعُ مُضَرُ عَبْدًا لِلَّهِ مُؤْمِنًا إِلَّا فَتَنُوهُ أَوْ قَتَلُوهُ أَوْ يَضْرِبُهُمُ اللهُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى لَا يَمْنَعُوا ذَنَبَ تَلْعَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَتَقُولُ هَذَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنْتَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُضَرَ؟ قَالَ لَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
✧ Hudhayfah said: By God, Mudar will not leave any believing servant of God without either testing him or killing him, or God and the angels and the believers will strike them until they cannot defend even the tail of a watercourse. A man said to him, 'Do you say this, O Abu 'Abd Allah, when you are a man of Mudar?' He said, 'I say only what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.'
Musnad Ahmad 23350Sahih
أَخْبِرْنَا بِرَجُلٍ قَرِيبِ السَّمْتِ وَالْهَدْيِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى نَأْخُذَ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَقْرَبَ سَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا وَدَلًّا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يُوَارِيَهُ جِدَارُ بَيْتِهِ مِنْ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ وَلَمْ نَسْمَعْ هَذَا مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ الْمَحْفُوظُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ إِلَى اللهِ وَسِيلَةً
✧ Inform us of a man close in manner and guidance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we may learn from him. He said, 'I know no one closer in manner, guidance, and demeanor to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until the wall of his house conceals him than Ibn Umm 'Abd.' We had not heard this from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid. The learned among the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ knew that Ibn Umm 'Abd was among the closest of them to God in means.
Musnad Ahmad 23351Sahih
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بِهَذَا كُلِّهِ
✧ From Hudhayfah, with all of this.
Musnad Ahmad 23352Sahih
فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا صَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَكْعَةً وَطَائِفَةٌ مُوَاجِهَةَ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أَصْحَابِهِمْ مُوَاجِهُو الْعَدُوِّ وَجَاءَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَانِ وَلِكُلِّ طَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَةٌ
✧ He asked the people, 'Who among you witnessed the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' Hudhayfah said, 'I did. He prayed one rak'ah with one group of the people while the other group faced the enemy. Then these went and stood in the place of their companions facing the enemy, and the other group came, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one rak'ah with them, then he said the salam. Thus the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs, and each group prayed one rak'ah.'
Musnad Ahmad 23353Sahih
سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ إِذَا خَرَجَ مَاءً وَنَارًا الَّذِي يَرَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهَا نَارٌ فَمَاءٌ بَارِدٌ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَرَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مَاءٌ فَنَارٌ تُحْرِقُ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَقَعْ فِي الَّذِي يَرَى أَنَّهَا نَارٌ فَإِنَّهَا مَاءٌ عَذْبٌ بَارِدٌ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ لِيَقْبِضَ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ عَمِلْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ قِيلَ لَهُ انْظُرْ قَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ وَأُجَازِفُهُمْ فَأُنْظِرُ الْمُوسِرَ وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ فَأَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَلَمَّا أَيِسَ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ أَوْصَى أَهْلَهُ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَاجْمَعُوا لِي حَطَبًا كَثِيرًا جَزْلًا ثُمَّ أَوْقِدُوا فِيهِ نَارًا حَتَّى إِذَا أَكَلَتْ لَحْمِي وَخَلَصَ إِلَى عَظْمِي فَامْتَحَشَتْ فَخُذُوهَا فَاذْرُوهَا فِي الْيَمِّ فَفَعَلُوا فَجَمَعَهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ نَبَّاشًا
✧ Did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say... He said, 'I heard him say: Indeed, with the Dajjal, when he emerges, there will be water and fire. What people see as fire is cold water, and what people see as water is a burning fire. Whoever of you encounters that, let him fall into what he sees as fire, for it is sweet, cold water.' Hudhayfah said, 'And I heard him say: A man from those before you was approached by an angel to take his soul. He said to him, "Have you done any good?" He said, "I do not know." It was said to him, "Look." He said, "I do not know anything except that I used to trade with people and be lenient with them; I would give respite to the wealthy and overlook the debts of the poor." So God admitted him to Paradise.' He said, 'And I heard him say: A man was on his deathbed. When he despaired of life, he instructed his family, "When I die, gather much dry wood for me, then kindle a fire in it until it consumes my flesh and reaches my bones and they are burnt. Then take them and scatter them in the sea." They did so, and God gathered him and said to him, "Why did you do that?" He said, "Out of fear of You." So God forgave him.' 'Uqbah b. 'Amr said, 'And I heard him say that, and he was a grave-robber.'
Musnad Ahmad 23354Sahih
أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي حُسِيلٍ فَأَخَذَنَا كُفَّارُ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْتُرِيدُونَ مُحَمَّدًا؟ قُلْنَا مَا نُرِيدُهُ مَا نُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَخَذُوا مِنَّا عَهْدَ اللهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ لَنَنْصَرِفَنَّ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَلَا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ انْصَرِفَا نَفِي لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ
✧ I would have witnessed Badr, except that I and my father Husayl went out and the disbelievers of Quraysh captured us. They said, 'You intend to join Muhammad?' We said, 'We do not intend him; we only intend Madinah.' So they took from us a covenant by God and His pledge that we would return to Madinah and not fight alongside him. Then we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him the news. He said, 'Go back; we will fulfill their covenant and seek God's help against them.'
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ مُتَكَلِّمًا يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَلَكَ الْمُلْكُ كُلُّهُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ إِلَيْكَ يُرْجَعُ الْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ عَلَانِيَتُهُ وَسِرُّهُفَأَهْلٌ أَنْ تُحْمَدَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي جَمِيعَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَاعْصِمْنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِي وَارْزُقْنِي عَمَلًا زَاكِيًا تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنِّي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاكَ مَلَكٌ أَتَاكَ يُعَلِّمُكَ تَحْمِيدَ رَبِّكَ
✧ Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'While I was praying, I heard a speaker saying: O God, all praise belongs to You, all dominion belongs to You, all good is in Your hand, all matters return to You, both open and secret. You are worthy of praise; indeed, You have power over everything. O God, forgive me all past sins and protect me for the rest of my life, and grant me pure deeds with which You are pleased.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'That was an angel who came to teach you how to praise your Lord.'
Musnad Ahmad 23356Sahih
أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَضَلَةِ سَاقِي أَوْ بِعَضَلَةِ سَاقِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْإِزَارُ هَاهُنَا فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَهَاهُنَا فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَهَاهُنَا فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَلَا حَقَّ لِلْإِزَارِ فِي الْكَعْبَيْنِ أَوْ لَا حَقَّ لِلْكَعْبَيْنِ فِي الْإِزَارِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of the muscle of my leg or his leg. He said, 'The lower garment is here; if you refuse, then here; if you refuse, then here; if you refuse, then the lower garment has no right to the ankles, or the ankles have no right to the lower garment.'
Musnad Ahmad 23357Sahih
أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ كَانَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَجَاءَهُ دِهْقَانُ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَأَخَذَهُ فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَنِّي قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي نَهَانِي عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَالدِّيبَاجِ وَقَالَ هِيَ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
✧ Hudhayfah was in al-Mada'in when a village chief brought him a silver cup. He took it and threw it at him, saying, 'I did not do this except because I had forbidden him and he did not stop. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ—meaning he forbade me—from drinking in vessels of gold and silver, and [from wearing] silk and brocade. And he said, "These are for them in this world and for you in the Hereafter."'
Musnad Ahmad 23358Sahih
وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي أُمَّتِي كَذَّابُونَ وَدَجَّالُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ وَإِنِّي خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي
✧ I found in my father's book in his handwriting, though I did not hear it from him, from Qatadah, from Abu Ma'shar, from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, from Hammam, from Hudhayfah, that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: 'In my nation there are twenty-seven liars and deceivers, among them four women. And I am the seal of the prophets; there is no prophet after me.'
Musnad Ahmad 23359Sahih
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ نَمَّامٌ
✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'A talebearer will not enter Paradise.'
Musnad Ahmad 23360Sahih
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلًا لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعًا وَلَا سُجُودًا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ دَعَاهُ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُنْذُ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُهَا مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا صَلَّيْتَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ لِلَّهِ صَلَاةً شَكَّ مَهْدِيٌّ وَأَحْسِبُهُقَالَ وَلَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
✧ He saw a man who did not complete his bowing or prostration. When he finished his prayer, Hudhayfah called him and said to him, 'How long have you been praying this prayer?' He said, 'I have been praying it for such and such a time.' Hudhayfah said, 'You have not prayed'—or he said, 'You have not prayed to Allah at all'—Mahdi was unsure. And I think he said, 'Even if you were to die, you would die upon other than the Sunnah of Muhammad ﷺ.'
ادْنُ فَكُلْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ فَقَالَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ فَأَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبْنَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ فَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ أَبَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ الصُّبْحُ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ وَبَيْنَ بَيْتِ حُذَيْفَةَ وَبَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ كَمَا بَيْنَ مَسْجِدِ ثَابِتٍ وَبُسْتَانِ حَوْطٍ وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا وَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ هَكَذَا صَنَعْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَصَنَعَ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
✧ He said, 'Come near and eat.' I said, 'I intend to fast.' He said, 'And I intend to fast.' So we ate and drank, then we came to the mosque and the prayer was established. Then Hudhayfah said, 'Thus the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did with me.' I said, 'After dawn?' He said, 'Yes, it was dawn, except that the sun had not risen.' He said: And between Hudhayfah's house and the mosque was like between the mosque of Thabit and the garden of Hawt. Hammad also said: Hudhayfah said, 'Thus I did with the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ did with me.'
Musnad Ahmad 23362No grade recorded
سَمِعْتُ الْوَلِيدَ أَبَا الْمُغِيرَةِ أَوِ الْمُغِيرَةَ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ذَرِبُ اللِّسَانِ وَإِنَّ عَامَّةَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَهْلِي فَقَالَ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ أَوْ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ
✧ I heard al-Walid Abu al-Mughirah, or al-Mughirah Abu al-Walid, narrate that Hudhayfah said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a sharp tongue, and most of that is against my family.' He said, 'Where are you with seeking forgiveness?' He said, 'I seek forgiveness a hundred times in the day and night, or in the day.'
قُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَرَأَ السَّبْعَ الطِّوَلَ فِي سَبْعِ رَكَعَاتٍ قَالَ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِذِي الْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ وَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ وَسُجُودُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ فَقَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَقَدْ كَادَتْ رِجْلَايَ تَنْكَسِرَانِ
✧ I stood beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and he recited the seven long surahs in seven rak'ahs. When he raised his head from bowing, he said, 'Allah hears the one who praises Him,' then he said, 'Praise be to Allah, the One of dominion, might, pride, and greatness.' His bowing was about as long as his standing, and his prostration about as long as his bowing. He completed his prayer while my legs were nearly broken.
Musnad Ahmad 23364Sahih
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ حُذَيْفَةَ إِلَى بَعْضِ هَذَا السَّوَادِ فَاسْتَسْقَى فَأَتَاهُ دِهْقَانٌ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ قَالَ فَرَمَاهُ بِهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ قُلْنَا اسْكُتُوا اسْكُتُوا وَإِنَّا إِنْ سَأَلْنَاهُ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْنَا قَالَ فَسَكَتْنَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ لِمَ رَمَيْتُ بِهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا لَا قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُهُ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ قَالَ مُعَاذٌ لَا تَشْرَبُوا فِي الذَّهَبِ وَلَا فِي الْفِضَّةِ وَلَا تَلْبَسُوا الْحَرِيرَ وَلَا الدِّيبَاجَ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
✧ I went out with Hudhayfah to some of this cultivated land. He asked for water, and a village chief brought him a vessel of silver. He threw it in his face. We said, 'Be quiet, be quiet—if we ask him, he will not narrate to us.' So we kept quiet. Later he said, 'Do you know why I threw it in his face?' We said, 'No.' He said, 'I had forbidden him.' Then he mentioned the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Do not drink from vessels of gold'—Mu'adh said, 'Do not drink from gold or silver, and do not wear silk or brocade, for they are for them in this world and for you in the Hereafter.'
Musnad Ahmad 23365Sahih
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الدَّجَّالُ أَعْوَرُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى جُفَالُ الشَّعَرِ مَعَهُ جَنَّةٌ وَنَارٌ فَنَارُهُ جَنَّةٌ وَجَنَّتُهُ نَارٌ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Dajjal is blind in the left eye, with abundant hair. With him are a Paradise and a Fire. His Fire is a Paradise and his Paradise is a Fire.'
Musnad Ahmad 23366Sahih

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up at night, he would rub his mouth. Ibn Numayr said: I said to al-A'mash, 'With the siwak?' He said, 'Yes.'
Musnad Ahmad 23367Sahih
صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَافْتَتَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ عِنْدَ الْمِائَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقُلْتُ يُصَلِّي بِهَا فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَمَضَى فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ بِهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ فَقَرَأَهَا يَقْرَأُ مُسْتَرْسِلًا إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَسْبِيحٌ سَبَّحَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِسُؤَالٍ سَأَلَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِتَعَوُّذٍ تَعَوَّذَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ طَوِيلًا قَرِيبًا مِمَّا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ
I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and he started reciting al-Baqara. I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he proceeded on; I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole (surah) in a rak'ah, but he proceeded and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing (this surah). He then started al-Nisa', and recited it; he then started Al-i-'Imran and recited leisurely. And when he recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified (by saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great), and when he recited the verses which tell (how the Lord) is to be begged, he (the Holy Prophet) would then beg (from Him), and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the Lord, he sought (His) protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing (and then on returning to the standing posture after ruku') he would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him, and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say: Glory be to my Lord most High, and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing. In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the words are:" He (the Holy Prophet) would say:" Allah listened to him who praised Him, our Lord, to Thee i the praise." (Using translation from Muslim 772)

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ one night in Ramaḍān. He stood to pray and when he said the takbīr, he said: Allāhu akbar, Possessor of dominion, might, pride, and greatness. Then he recited al-Baqarah, then al-Nisā’, then Āl ʿImrān. Whenever he came to a verse of warning he paused at it. Then he bowed, saying: Subḥāna rabbiya l-ʿaẓīm, for about as long as he had been standing. Then he raised his head and said: Samiʿa Llāhu liman ḥamidah, rabbanā laka l-ḥamd, for about as long as he had been standing. Then he prostrated, saying: Subḥāna rabbiya l-aʿlā, for about as long as he had been standing. Then he raised his head and said: Rabbi ghfir lī, for about as long as he had been standing. Then he prostrated, saying: Subḥāna rabbiya l-aʿlā, for about as long as he had been standing. Then he raised his head and stood. He prayed only two rakʿahs until Bilāl came and announced the prayer to him.
قُلْتُ لِحُذَيْفَةَ أَيُّ سَاعَةٍ تَسَحَّرْتُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ هُوَ النَّهَارُ إِلَّا أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ لَمْ تَطْلُعْ
✧ I said to Ḥudhayfah, “At what time did you have suḥūr with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said, “It was daytime, except that the sun had not yet risen.”
Musnad Ahmad 23401Sahih
اسْتَسْقَى حُذَيْفَةُ مِنْ دِهْقَانٍ أَوْ عِلْجٍ فَأَتَاهُ بِإِنَاءٍ فِضَّةٍ فَحَذَفَهُ بِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَاعْتَذَرَ وَقَالَ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِ هَذَا لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُهُ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَانَا عَنْ لُبْسِ الدِّيبَاجِ وَالْحَرِيرِ وَآنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَقَالَ هُوَ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَهُوَ لَنَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ
✧ Ḥudhayfah asked a landowner or a non-Arab for water. He brought him a silver vessel, so he threw it at him. Then he turned to the people and apologized, saying, “I only did this to him because I had forbidden him before this time. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from wearing silk brocade and silk, and from vessels of gold and silver. He said, ‘They are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter.’”
Musnad Ahmad 23402Sahih
أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَضَلَةِ سَاقِي فَقَالَ هَذَا مَوْضِعُ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَأَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَلَا حَقَّ لِلْإِزَارِ فِي الْكَعْبَيْنِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of the muscle of my calf and said, “This is the place of the waist-wrapper. If you refuse, then lower than that. If you refuse, then the waist-wrapper has no right to the ankles.”
أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ لِأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ أَوْ قَالَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِيَّ زَعَمُوا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بِئْسَ مَطِيَّةُ الرَّجُلِ
✧ Abū ʿAbd Allāh said to Abū Masʿūd—or Abū Masʿūd said to Abū ʿAbd Allāh, meaning Ḥudhayfah—“What did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about me, as they claim?” He said, “I heard him say, ‘What a bad mount the man is.’”
Musnad Ahmad 23404Sahih
بِتُّ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فِي ثَوْبٍ طَرَفُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَطَرَفُهُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and informed us of what will happen until the Day of Resurrection. Whoever memorized it, memorized it, and whoever forgot it, forgot it.
لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ مَلْعُونٌ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ وَسْطَ الْحَلْقَةِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed—or it was said that cursed upon the tongue of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—the one who sits in the middle of a circle.
Musnad Ahmad 23407Sahih
جَاءَ الْعَاقِبُ وَالسَّيِّدُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَاأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا رَجُلًا أَمِينًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأُرْسِلُ مَعَكُمَا رَجُلًا أَمِينًا أَمِينًا أَمِينًا قَالَ فَجَثَا لَهَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الرُّكَبِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ
✧ Al-ʿĀqib and al-Sayyid came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “Send a trustworthy man with us.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I will send with you a trustworthy man, a trustworthy man, a trustworthy man.” The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ knelt for it. Then he sent Abū ʿUbaydah b. al-Jarrāḥ.
Musnad Ahmad 23408Sahih
قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَقْرَبِ النَّاسِ سَمْتًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَأْخُذْ عَنْهُ وَنَسْمَعْ مِنْهُ. فَقَالَ: كَانَ أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ سَمْتًا وَدَلًّا وَهَدْيًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ.
✧ Tell us about the closest person to the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ, from whom we can learn and hear from. He said: "The closest person to the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ, in terms of appearance, guidance, and righteousness, was his son, Ibn Umm Abd."
Musnad Ahmad 23409Accepted
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَبَلَغَهُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ قِلَّةٌ فَقَالَ لَا يَسْبِقْنِي إِلَى الْمَاءِ أَحَدٌ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ was on a journey when he was told about the scarcity of water. He said, "No one should go ahead of me to the water."
لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جِبْرِيلُ بِأَحْجَارِ المِرَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ الضَّعِيفَ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَلَى حَرْفٍ فَلَا يَتَحَوَّلْ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ
✧ Jibrīl met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the Stones of al-Mirā’ and said, “Among your nation is the weak one. Whoever recites according to one ḥarf, let him not turn from it to another out of aversion to it.”
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ لِأُصَلِّيَ بِصَلَاتِهِ فَافْتَتَحَ فَقَرَأَ قِرَاءَةً لَيْسَتْ بِالْخَفِيضَةِ وَلَا بِالرَّفِيعَةِ قِرَاءَةً حَسَنَةً يُرَتِّلُ فِيهَا يُسْمِعُنَا قَالَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الطَّوْلِ وَعَلَيْهِ سَوَادٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ هُوَ تَطَوُّعُ اللَّيْلِ
✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night to pray with his prayer. He began and recited a recitation that was neither low nor high—a beautiful recitation, measured, making us hear it. Then he bowed for about as long as his standing. Then he raised his head for about as long as his bowing and said, “Samiʿa Llāhu liman ḥamidah.” Then he said, “Al-ḥamdu lillāhi dhī l-jabarūt wa-l-malakūt wa-l-kibriyā’ wa-l-ʿaẓamah,” until he finished the lengthy prayer while darkness of night remained. ʿAbd al-Malik said, “It is the voluntary night prayer.”
Musnad Ahmad 23412Sahih
أَيُّكُمْ يَحْفَظُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ؟ قُلْتُ أَنَا كَمَا قَالَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَتْنَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَجَارِهِ يُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ وَالْأَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا أُرِيدُ وَلَكِنِ الْفِتْنَةُ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ كَمَوْجِ الْبَحْرِ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا بَأْسٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بَابًا مُغْلَقًا قَالَ أَيُكْسَرُ أَوْ يُفْتَحُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلْ يُكْسَرُ قَالَ إِذًا لَا يُغْلَقُ أَبَدًا قُلْنَا أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْبَابُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَمَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دُونَ غَدٍ لَيْلَةً قَالَ وَكِيعٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ لِحُذَيْفَةَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ كَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَا حَدَّثْتُهُ بِهِ؟ قُلْنَا أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْبَابُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَمَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دُونَ غَدٍ لَيْلَةً إِنِّي حَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ فَهِبْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ مَنِ الْبَابُ فَأَمَرْنَا مَسْرُوقًا فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ الْبَابُ عُمَرُ
✧ Which of you remembers the statement of the Messenger of God ﷺ about the trial? I said, 'I do, as he said it.' He said, 'You are bold concerning it, or concerning him.' I said, 'The trial of a man in his family, his wealth, his children, and his neighbor, which prayer, charity, enjoining good, and forbidding evil expiate.' He said, 'This is not what I mean; rather the trial that surges like the waves of the sea.' I said, 'You have nothing to fear from it, O Commander of the Believers, for between you and it there is a closed door.' He said, 'Will it be broken or opened?' I said, 'Rather it will be broken.' He said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' We said, 'Did Umar know who the door was?' He said, 'Yes, just as he knows that before tomorrow there is a night.' Waki said in his hadith: Masruq said to Hudhayfah, 'O Abu Abd Allah, did Umar know what you told him?' We said, 'Did Umar know who the door was?' He said, 'Yes, just as he knows that before tomorrow there is a night. I related to him a hadith that was not among the errors.' We were too awed by Hudhayfah to ask him who the door was, so we commanded Masruq and he asked him, and he said, 'The door was Umar.'

✧ Tell us of a man close in guidance, manner, and demeanor to the Messenger of God ﷺ so that we may learn from him. He said, 'I know of no one closer in manner, guidance, and demeanor to the Messenger of God ﷺ until the wall of his house conceals him from Ibn Umm Abd.'
Musnad Ahmad 23414Sahih
كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقٍ فَتَنَحَّى فَأَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَتَبَاعَدْتُ فَأَدْنَانِي حَتَّى صِرْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عَقِبَيْهِ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا وَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ
✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a road, and he turned aside. He came to a people's trash heap, so I distanced myself, but he drew me near until I was close to his heels. He urinated standing, called for water, performed ablution, and wiped over his leather socks.
Musnad Ahmad 23415Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَوَكِيعٌ لِلتَّهَجُّدِ يَشُوصُ فَاهُ بِالسِّوَاكِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ went out, and Hudhayfah met him but turned aside from him. He then performed a full bath and came back. He said, 'What is with you?' He said, 'O Messenger of God, I was in a state of major impurity.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'The Muslim does not become impure.'

أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى كَانَ يُشَدِّدُ فِي الْبَوْلِ قَالَ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْبَوْلُ يُتْبِعُهُ بِالْمِقْرَاضَيْنِ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يُشَدِّدُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى أَوْ قَالَ مَشَى إِلَى سُبَاطَةِ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ
✧ Abu Musa used to be strict about urine. He said, 'When urine touched one of the Children of Israel, he would follow it with scissors.' Hudhayfah said, 'I wish he would not be strict. I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ come to, or he said walk to, a people's trash heap and urinate while standing.'
Musnad Ahmad 23423Sahih
شُعْبَةُ رَفَعَهُ مَرَّةً إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُخْرِجُ اللهُ قَوْمًا مُنْتِنِينَ قَدْ مَحَشَتْهُمُ النَّارُ بِشَفَاعَةِ الشَّافِعِينَ فَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُسَمَّوْنَ الْجَهَنَّمِيُّونَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ الْجَهَنَّمِيِّينَ

✧ They sent me from Mah to Kufa to buy mounts. We came to Kunasa, and there was a man wearing a gathered garment. My companion went off to the mounts, but I went to him and found he was Hudhayfah. I heard him say: 'The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ask him about good, but I used to ask him about evil.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good as there was evil before it?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'What is protection from it?' He said: 'The sword.' I think Abu al-Tayyah says: 'The sword,' I think. He said: I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Then there will be a truce upon corruption.' He said: I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Then there will be callers to misguidance. If you see on that day a caliph of Allah on earth, then stay close to him, even if he wears down your body and takes your wealth. If you do not see him, then flee in the land, even if you die while biting onto the root of a tree.' He said: I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Then the Dajjal will emerge.' He said: I said: 'With what does he come?' He said: 'With a river — or he said water — and fire. Whoever enters his river, his reward is removed and his sin becomes binding, and whoever enters his fire, his reward becomes binding and his sin is removed.' He said: I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'If you were to breed a mare, you would not ride her foal until the Hour stands.'

خَرَجْتُ زَمَانَ فُتِحَتْ تُسْتَرُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِحَلْقَةٍ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ صَدَعٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ حَسَنُ الثَّغْرِ يُعْرَفُ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ؟ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ أَوَ مَا تَعْرِفُهُ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالُوا هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَعَدْتُ وَحَدَّثَ الْقَوْمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي سَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا أَنْكَرْتُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ حِينَ جَاءَ فَجَاءَ أَمْرٌ لَيْسَ كَأَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكُنْتُ قَدْ أُعْطِيتُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَهْمًا فَكَانَ رِجَالٌ يَجِيئُونَ فَيَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ فَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ كَمَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ شَرٌّ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ السَّيْفُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَهَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا السَّيْفِ بَقِيَّةٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَكُونَ إِمَارَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ وَهُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَنْشَأُ دُعَاةُ الضَّلَالَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةٌ جَلَدَ ظَهْرَكَ وَأَخَذَ مَالَكَ فَالْزَمْهُ وَإِلَّا فَمُتْ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَعَهُ نَهَرٌ وَنَارٌ مَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَارِهِ وَجَبَ أَجْرُهُ وَحُطَّ وِزْرُهُ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَهَرِهِ وَجَبَ وِزْرُهُ وَحُطَّ أَجْرُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّمَاذَا؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ يُنْتَجُ الْمُهْرُ فَلَا يُرْكَبُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ الصَّدْعُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ الضَّرْبُ وَقَوْلُهُ فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ السَّيْفُ كَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى الرِّدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِي زَمَنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَقَوْلُهُ إِمَارَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى قَذًى وَهُدْنَةٍ يَقُولُ صُلْحٌ وَقَوْلُهُ عَلَى دَخَنٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى ضَغَائِنَ قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ مِمَّنِ التَّفْسِيرُ؟ قَالَ مِنْ قَتَادَةَ زَعَمَ
✧ I went out at the time Tustar was conquered until I arrived at Kufa and entered the mosque. There I was with a circle in which there was a lean man of men, with good front teeth, in whom it was known that he was from the men of the people of the Hijaz. He said: I said: 'Who is the man?' The people said: 'Do you not know him?' I said: 'No.' They said: 'This is Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said: So I sat, and he spoke to the people, saying: 'The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil.' The people disapproved of that from him, so he said to them: 'I will inform you of what you disapproved of. Islam came when it came, and a matter came that was not like the matter of the Jahiliyyah. I had been given understanding in the Quran, and men would come and ask about good, but I used to ask him about evil. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good as there was evil before it?" He said: "Yes." He said: I said: "What is protection, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The sword." He said: I said: "Is there any remainder after this sword?" He said: "Yes, there will be a commandership upon defects and a truce upon corruption." He said: I said: "Then what?" He said: "Then callers to misguidance will arise. If on that day there is for Allah a caliph on earth who lashes your back and takes your wealth, then stay close to him; otherwise, die while biting onto the root of a tree." He said: I said: "Then what?" He said: "The Dajjal will emerge after that, with him a river and fire. Whoever falls into his fire, his reward becomes binding and his sin is removed, and whoever falls into his river, his sin becomes binding and his reward is removed." He said: I said: "Then what?" He said: "Then the foal is bred, and it will not be ridden until the Hour stands." The lean man of men means the type of man. His saying, "What is protection from it?" He said: "The sword" — Qatadah used to apply this to the apostasy that occurred in the time of Abu Bakr. His saying, "a commandership upon defects" means upon impurity and truce, meaning peace. His saying, "upon corruption" means upon rancor. It was said to Abd al-Razzaq: 'From whom is the explanation?' He said: 'From Qatadah, he claimed.'

✧ That he heard Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman say: 'O people, will you not ask me? For the people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Allah sent His Prophet ﷺ, and he called the people from disbelief to faith and from misguidance to guidance. Those who responded to him responded, and what was dead of truth came alive, and what was alive of falsehood died. Then prophethood departed, and the caliphate was upon the path of prophethood.'

سَعِيدٌ أَيُّكُمْ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا قَالَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ حُذَيْفَةُ فَلَبِسُوا السِّلَاحَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ هَاجَكُمْ هَيْجٌ فَقَدْ حَلَّ لَكُمُ الْقِتَالُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِإِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ رَكْعَةً وَالطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مُوَاجِهَةَ الْعَدُوِّ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَامُوا مَقَامَ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ
✧ "Which one of you witnessed the prayer of fear with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Hudhaifah said, "I did." So Hudhaifah commanded them to put on their weapons. Then he said, "If the enemy attacks you, then you may engage in battle." He led one group in prayer while the other group faced the enemy. Then he turned and performed another prayer with the second group. After that, the first group took their place and the other group came, and he performed another prayer with them. Then he greeted them."

✧ There will certainly come upon Mudar a day when they will not leave any servant of Allah who worships Him except that they kill him, or they will be struck a blow such that they will not defend the tail of a watercourse or the lowest part of a watercourse.

✧ My mother said to me: 'When was your last contact with the Prophet ﷺ?' He said: I said: 'I have had no contact with him since such and such.' She became worried about me, so I said: 'O mother, let me go to the Prophet ﷺ, and I will not leave him until he asks forgiveness for me and for you.' He said: So I came to him and prayed Maghrib with him. When he finished the prayer, he stood to pray and kept praying until he prayed Isha, then he left.
Musnad Ahmad 23437Sahih
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَشْرَبَ فِي آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَأَنْ نَأْكُلَ فِيهَا وَأَنْ نَلْبَسَ الْحَرِيرَ وَالدِّيبَاجَ وَقَالَ هِيَ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَلَكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِمَا مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ مَعَهُ نَهَرَانِ يَجْرِيَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ مَاءٌ أَبْيَضُ وَالْآخَرُ رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ نَارٌ تَأَجَّجُ فَإِمَّا أَدْرَكَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِ النَّهَرَ الَّذِي يَرَاهُ نَارًا وَلْيُغْمِضْ ثُمَّ لِيُطَأْطِئْ رَأْسَهُ فَلْيَشْرَبْ فَإِنَّهُ مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ وَإِنَّ الدَّجَّالَ مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ الْيُسْرَى عَلَيْهَا ظَفَرَةٌ غَلِيظَةٌ وَفِيهِ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ يَقْرَؤُهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ كَاتِبٍ وَغَيْرُ كَاتِبٍ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said, "Indeed I know more about what is with the Dajjāl than the Dajjāl himself. He has two flowing rivers: one appears to the eye as white water, and the other appears to the eye as blazing fire. If any of you reaches him, let him go to the river that he sees as fire, close his eyes, then lower his head and drink, for it is cold water. The Dajjāl is missing his left eye, over which is a thick covering, and written between his eyes is 'kāfir' (disbeliever), which every believer, whether literate or illiterate, can read."

✧ that He came from Umar and said, "When we sat with him yesterday, Umar asked the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, "Which of you has heard the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Fitnah (tribulations)?" They said, "We have heard it." He said, "Perhaps you are referring to the Fitnah of a man with his family and wealth?" They said, "Yes." He said, "I am not asking about that. I am asking about the Fitnah that causes waves like the waves of the sea." Then the people fell silent, and I thought that he meant me. I said, "I." He said, "You is to Allah as your father." I said, "I." He said, "Fitnah is presented to the hearts like a reed mat. Whichever heart rejects it, a white dot is made in it. Whichever heart accepts it, a black dot is made in it, until the hearts become two types: one white like a pure white stone, which will not be harmed by any Fitnah for as long as the heavens and earth exist; and the other dark and bulky, like a vessel that is turned over, and he does not know what Ma'ruf (good) is, nor does he reject Munkar (evil), except for that which his whims dictate." "And I told him that there was a closed door between him and I, which was about to be broken. Umar said, "There is no barrier for you." I said, "Yes." He said, "If it were opened, perhaps it would be closed again." I said, "No, it will be broken." He said, "And I told him that behind that door was a man who would be killed or die, in a matter that is not a trivial one."

✧ I said, "O Messenger of God, will there be evil after this good as there was evil before it?" He said, "O Hudhayfah, read the Book of God and act according to what is in it."

He said, "Yes, a blind and deaf tribulation, and callers to misguidance at the gates of Hell. Whoever answers them, they will cast him into it."

You would all then say the takbeer and they would say the takbeer along with you. You would then perform the ruku' and they would perform the ruku' with you. You would then raise your head and they would raise their heads with you. Then you would make the sajdah and they would make the sajdah with you. The group that is behind you and the group that is towards the enemy would perform the standing position towards the enemy. When you raise your head from the sajdah, they would perform the sajdah and then the others would move forward and perform ruku', following your movements. Then they would raise their heads and perform the ruku' along with you. Then they would make the sajdah and the group that is behind you and the other group would perform the standing position towards the enemy. When you raise your head from the sajdah, they would perform the sajdah and then you would say the salaam and some of them would give salaam to others. You would then order your companions that if the enemy attacks them with a sudden attack, they should start fighting them and should not speak."

Then he said: "The believer is squeezed in it with a squeeze from which his shoulder straps slip, and the disbeliever is filled with fire in it." Then he said: "Shall I tell you of the worst of God's servants? The harsh, arrogant one. Shall I tell you of the best of God's servants? The weak and oppressed one, the possessor of two worn garments; if he swore by God, God would fulfill his oath."

✧ By God, I am the most knowledgeable of people about every tribulation that will occur between now and the Hour, and it is not that the Prophet ﷺ confided to me something about that which he did not tell anyone else. But the Prophet ﷺ said, while he was speaking to a gathering in which I was present about tribulations — he said, while enumerating them: "Among them are three that hardly leave anything; among them are tribulations like summer winds; among them are small ones and large ones." Hudhayfah said: So those all went away, that group, except me.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ struck parables for us: one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven. He said: He struck one of them as a parable for us and left the rest. He said: "A people who were weak and poor were fought by a people of tyranny and large numbers, so God made the weak prevail over them. Then they turned to their enemy and employed them and gave them authority, so they incurred God's wrath upon themselves until the day they meet Him."

✧ I sat with Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman and Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari. One of them said to the other: "Relate what you heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ." He said: "No, you relate." So one of them related to his companion, and the other confirmed him. He said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection, and God will say: 'Look at his deeds.' He will say: 'Lord, I did no good, except that I had wealth and I used to mix with people. Whoever was well-off, I made things easy for him; and whoever was in hardship, I gave him respite until ease.' God, Mighty and Majestic, will say: 'I am more entitled to make things easy.' And He forgave him." Then the other said: "You spoke truth; I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say this."

When morning came, he mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The lower floor is more convenient for me." Abu Ayyub said: "I will not be above a roof under which you are."

When it was returned to him, he would ask about the place of the Prophet's ﷺ fingers, then follow the traces of the Prophet's ﷺ fingers and eat from where his finger traces were. One day he prepared food containing garlic and sent it to him. He asked about the place of the Prophet's ﷺ finger traces, and was told: "He did not eat."

✧ The Prophet of Allah ﷺ stayed in our lower house, and I was in the upper room. Water was spilled in the upper room, so I and Umm Ayyub stood with a velvet cloth of ours, following the water out of fear that the water would reach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I went down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ feeling anxious and said, “O Messenger of Allah, it is not proper that we be above you. Move to the upper room.” The Prophet ﷺ ordered his belongings to be moved, and his belongings were few. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, you used to send me food, and I would look, and if I saw the trace of your fingers I would put my hand in it, until this food that you sent me, I looked at it and did not see the trace of your fingers in it.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Yes, it had onions in it, and I disliked eating it because of the angel who comes to me. As for you, eat it.”

✧ I was with Ibn 'Abbas and al-Miswar at al-Abwa', and we talked until we mentioned washing the head of a pilgrim in ihram. Al-Miswar said no, and Ibn 'Abbas said yes. So Ibn 'Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub: 'Your nephew 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas sends you greetings of peace, and he asks you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wash his head while in ihram.' He said: I found him bathing between the two upright posts of a well, screened with a cloth. When he became aware of me, he pulled the cloth to his chest until his face became visible to me, and I saw him while a person stood pouring water over his head. He said: Abu Ayyub gestured with his hands over his entire head, and he moved them forward and back. Then al-Miswar said to Ibn 'Abbas: I will never dispute with you again.

✧ Abu Ayyub came to us while 'Uqbah b. 'Amir was governor of Egypt. He delayed Maghrib, so Abu Ayyub stood up to him and said: What is this prayer, O 'Uqbah? He said: We were busy. He said: By Allah, I only fear that people will think you saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing this.

Mu'adh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and left them, and they returned to Madinah. Then the battle of Bu'ath took place between the Aws and the Khazraj. He said: Then Iyas b.

He said: “O uncle, say: There is no god but Allah, a word by which I may argue for you before Allah [Mighty and Majestic].” Abū Jahl and ‘Abd Allāh b. Abī Umayya said: “O Abū Ṭālib, will you turn away from the religion of ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib?” He said: They kept talking to him until the last thing he said to them was: “Upon the religion of ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “I will surely seek forgiveness for you as long as I am not forbidden from doing so.” Then the verse was revealed: “It is not for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of the Blaze.” He said: Then it was revealed concerning him: “Indeed, you do not guide whom you love.”

He said: 'Should I not feed it to orphans of mine?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Should I not give it as charity?' He said: 'No.' Then he permitted him to feed it to his water-carrying camel.
