حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَضَّاحِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ، نَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، نَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، ثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ قَالَ:

مَرَرْتُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِقَوْمٍ جُلُوسٍ كَأَنَّمَا قُطِعَتْ رُءُوسُهُمْ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي أَدْنَى الْقَوْمِ، فَقُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ، مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ ؟ فَقَالَ: كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا لَعَرَفْتَهُ، هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ. فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنَا عَنِ الشَّرِّ، حَتَّى أَتَّقِيَهُ، وَأَعْلَمَ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَنْ يَفُوتَنِي، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي يَجِيءُ فِيهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ ؟ قَالَ: يَا حُذَيْفَةُ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، فِتْنَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ " فَقُلْتُ: أَفَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، جَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ، وَهُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ ؟ قَالَ: " يَا حُذَيْفَةُ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ "، حَتَّى سَأَلْتُهُ أَيْضًا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، يَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، عَلَى أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَى النَّارِ، فَأَنْ تَمُوتَ حِينَ تَمُوتُ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلٍ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدَهُمْ

✧ I passed by Kufa and entered the mosque. There I saw a group sitting as if their heads had been cut off. I sat at the edge of the group and said to a man: O servant of Allah, who is this man? He said: You seem to be a stranger. I said: Yes. He said: If you were from its people, you would know him. This is Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman. He began to narrate to the people, saying: The people used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, but I used to ask him about evil, so that I might avoid it, and I knew that good would never pass me by. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, after this good, is there evil? He said: O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and act according to what is in it. Then he said: Yes, a trial and disagreement. I said: Will there be good after that? He said: Yes, a community with impurities, and a truce upon corruption. I said: O Messenger of Allah, after that good, is there evil? He said: O Hudhayfah, learn the Book of Allah and act according to what is in it. He asked him three times in the same manner, and he said the same. Then he said: Yes, there will be a trial whose gates have callers to the Fire. To die while biting onto a tree stump is better than following any one of them.
