حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ فُلْفُلَةَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ:
كُنَّا عِنْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُنَا حَدِّثْنَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: لَوْ فَعَلْتُ لَرَجَمْتُمُونِي، فَقُلْنَا: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، نَحْنُ نَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ حَدَّثْتُكُمْ أَنَّ بَعْضَ أُمَّهَاتِكُمْ تَأْتِيكُمْ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ كَثِيرٍ عَدَدُهَا، شَدِيدٍ بَأْسُهَا تُقَاتِلُكُمْ. أَكُنْتُمْ مُصَدِّقِيَّ ؟ قَالُوا: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَمَنْ يُصَدِّقُ بِهَا ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: " أَتَتْكُمُ الْحُمَيْرَاءُ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ تَسُوقُهَا أَعْلَاجُهَا مِنْ حَيْثُ تَسُوقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ " ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَدَخَلَ مَخْدَعًا لَهُ.

✧ We were with Hudhayfah, and some of us said to him, "Narrate to us, O Abu 'Abd Allah, what you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "If I did, you would stone me." We said, "Glory be to Allah! We would do that to you?" He said, "What if I told you that one of your mothers would come to you in a battalion, numerous in number and fierce in might, fighting you—would you believe me?" They said, "Glory be to Allah! Who would believe that?" Hudhayfah said, "Al-Humayra' will come to you in a battalion driven by her non-Arab soldiers from where their faces are driven." Then he stood and entered a private chamber of his.
