أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَسَدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ §أَتَيْتُ الْيَشْكُرِيَّ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ فَقَالَ

«مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟» قُلْنَا بَنُو لَيْثٍ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ وَسَأَلْنَا ثُمَّ قُلْنَا أَتَيْنَاكَ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ حَدِيثِ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ «أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ أَبِي مُوسَى قَافِلِينَ وَغَلَتِ الدَّوَابُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي أَبَا مُوسَى فَأَذِنَ لَنَا فَقَدِمْنَا الْكُوفَةَ» فَقُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي إِنِّي دَاخِلُ الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا قَامَتِ السُّوقُ خَرَجْتُ إِلَيْكِ قَالَ «فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ حَلْقَةٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ رَجُلٍ فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ «أَبَصْرِيٌّ أَنْتَ» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «قَدْ عَرَفْتُ لَوْ كُنْتَ كُوفِيًّا لَمْ تَسَلْ عَنْ هَذَا» هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَنْ يَسْبِقَنِي» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ «هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءِ فِيهَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ «فِتْنَةٌ عَمْيَاءُ صَمَّاءُ عَلَيْهَا دُعَاةٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ وَأَنْ تَمُوتَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلٍ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ»

✧ He said: “Who are the people?” We said, “Banū Layth.” Then we asked him and he asked us. Then we said, “We came to ask you about the ḥadīth of Ḥudhayfah.” He said: “We returned with Abū Mūsā, and the riding beasts became expensive in Kūfah. My companion and I asked permission from Abū Mūsā, and he granted it to us, so we arrived in Kūfah.” I said to my companion, “I am going into 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 listening to the ḥadīth of a man. I stood over them, and a man came and stood beside me.” I said to him, “Who is this?” He said, “Are you from Baṣrah?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “I knew that if you were from Kūfah you would not ask about this. This is Ḥudhayfah b. al-Yamān.” I drew near to him and heard him say: “The people used to ask the Messenger of God ﷺ about good, but I used to ask him about evil, and I knew that good would never overtake me.” I said, “O Messenger of God, after this good will there be evil?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and follow what is in it—three times.” I said, “O Messenger of God, after this good will there be evil?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and follow what is in it—three times.” I said, “O Messenger of God, after this evil will there be good?” He said, “A truce upon corruption, and a community upon filth within it.” I said, “O Messenger of God, after this good will there be evil?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and follow what is in it—three times.” I said, “O Messenger of God, after this good will there be evil?” He said, “A blind and deaf trial, with callers at the gates of Hell. And should you die, O Ḥudhayfah, while biting onto a stump, that is better for you than following any one of them.”
