حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَحْصُوا لِي كَمْ يَلْفِظُ الْإِسْلَامَ؟ "، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّ مِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ، لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا "، قَالَ: فَابْتُلِينَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Count the people who profess Islam and tell me their number." We submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you fear anything about us while we are between six and seven hundred?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You do not know, it may be that you will be tested." Accordingly, when we were tested, each one of us could only pray secretly.
