حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْبَأَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ الْبَيْرُوتِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ وَحدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ أَنْبَأَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَشَرٍّ فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا الْخَيْرِ فَهَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَفِيهِ دَخَنٌ» قُلْتُ وَمَا دَخَنُهُ؟ قَالَ «قَوْمٌ يَهْدُونَ بِغَيْرِ هَدْيِي يُعْرَفُ مِنْهُمْ وَيُنْكَرُ» قُلْتُ وَهَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ دُعَاةٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ مَنْ أَجَابَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ قَذَفُوهُ فِيهَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا قَالَ «هُمْ مِنْ جِلْدَتِنَا وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا» قُلْتُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «تَلْزَمْ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِمَامَهُمْ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ إِمَامٌ وَلَا جَمَاعَةٌ؟ قَالَ «فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلْكَ الْفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعَضَّ بِأَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَكَ الْمَوْتُ وَأَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ»

✧ He heard Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman say: The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, but I used to ask him about evil, fearing that it might overtake me. I said: O Messenger of Allah, we were in ignorance and evil, then Allah brought this good. Is there any evil after this good? He said: “Yes, and there will be some taint in it.” I said: What is its taint? He said: “People who guide by other than my guidance; some of them you will recognize and some you will disapprove.” I said: Will there be any evil after that good? He said: “Yes, callers at the gates of Hell. Whoever answers them, they will cast him into it.” I said: O Messenger of Allah, describe them to us. He said: “They are of our own skin and speak with our tongues.” I said: What do you command me if I live to see that? He said: “Cling to the community of Muslims and their imam.” I said: What if they have no imam and no community? He said: “Then withdraw from all those factions, even if you have to bite onto the root of a tree until death overtakes you while you are in that state.”

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ هَكَذَا وَقَدْ خَرَّجَاهُ أَيْضًا مُخْتَصَرًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ وَإِنَّمَا خَرَّجْتُهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْعِلْمِ لِأَنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ لِلشَّيْخَيْنِ حَدِيثًا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْإِجْمَاعَ حَجَّةٌ غَيْرَ هَذَا وَقَدْ خَرَّجْتُ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَوَاضِعِ مِنْ أَحَادِيثِ هَذَا الْبَابِ مَا لَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ الْحَدِيثُ الْأَوَّلُ مِنْهَا قد خرجاه
machine translationThis hadith is recorded in the two Sahihs like this, and they also recorded it in an abridged form from the hadith of al-Zuhri from Abu Idris al-Khawlani. I only recorded it in the Book of Knowledge because I did not find any hadith for the two Shaykhs indicating that consensus (ijma') is a binding proof other than this one. And I have recorded in these places among the hadiths of this chapter what they did not record, except the first hadith among them, which they have recorded.
