" عن حَنْظَلَةَ الكَاتِبِ الأُسَيْدِى، وَكَانَ مِنْ كُتَّابِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَذَكَّرَنَا الجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ، حَتَّى كَانَا رَأىَ العَيْنِ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِى وَوَلدِى، فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ الّذِى كُنَّا فِيهِ، فَخرَجْتُ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ: نَافَقْتُ نَافَقْتُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: نَكُونُ عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ يُذَكَّرُ بِالنَّارِ وَالجَنَّة كَأَنَّا رَأَىُ عَيْنٍ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ عَافَسْنَا الأَزْوَاجَ وَالأَوْلَادَ والضيعاتِ فَنَسِينَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، فقَالَ: يَا حَنْظَلَةُ! لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِيكُمْ كمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِى، لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ المَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَفِى الطَّرِيقِ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةٌ وَسَاعَةٌ".

"From Ḥanẓalah al-Kātib al-Usayyidī, who was one of the scribes of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: We were with the Prophet ﷺ and he reminded us of Paradise and the Fire, until it was as if we were seeing them with our own eyes. Then I went to my family and my children, and I laughed and played. Then I remembered what we had been in, so I went out and met Abū Bakr and said: I have become a hypocrite, I have become a hypocrite, O Abū Bakr! He said: What is that? I said: We are with the Prophet ﷺ, and he reminds us of the Fire and Paradise as if we were seeing them with our own eyes. Then when we go out from him, we busy ourselves with wives, children and estates, and we forget. Abū Bakr said: We do the same. So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: O Ḥanẓalah! If you were with your families as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you on your beds and on the road. O Ḥanẓalah, there is an hour and an hour."
