أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رُسْتُمَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ قَالَ §دَخَلْنَا مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا حَلْقَةٌ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ فَقَالَ

«كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ كَيْمَا أَعْرِفَهُ فَأَتَّقِيَهُ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَا يَفُوتَنِي» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ فَأَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلَ ثَلَاثًا» فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ «فِتْنَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ «هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى قَذًى فِيهَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ؟ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ «تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ «فِتَنٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَى النَّارِ فَلَأَنْ تَمُوتَ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلٍ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ»

✧ He said: “The people used to ask the Messenger of God ﷺ about good, but I used to ask him about evil so that I might know it and avoid it, and I knew that good would not pass me by.” I said, “O Messenger of God, will there be evil after good?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and act upon what is in it.” I repeated the words to him three times, and on the third he said, “A trial and difference.” I said, “O Messenger of God, will there be good after that evil?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and act upon what is in it—three times.” Then on the third he said, “A truce upon corruption, and a community upon filth within it.” I said, “O Messenger of God, will there be evil after that good?” He said, “O Ḥudhayfah, learn the Book of God and act upon what is in it—three times.” Then on the third he said, “Trials at whose gates are callers to Hell. And should you die while biting onto a stump, that is better for you than following any one of them.”
