حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، وَأَبُو النَّضْرِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: أَبُو النَّضْرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ الْيَشْكُرِيَّ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْنَا: بَنُو لَيْثٍ، قَالَ: فَسَأَلْنَاهُ وَسَأَلَنَا، ثُمَّ قُلْنَا: أَتَيْنَاكَ نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ حَدِيثِ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ أَبِي مُوسَى قَافِلِينَ، وَغَلَتِ الدَّوَابُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي أَبَا مُوسَى فَأَذِنَ لَنَا، فَقَدِمْنَا الْكُوفَةَ بَاكِرًا مِنَ النَّهَارِ، فَقُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي: إِنِّي دَاخِلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا قَامَتِ السُّوقُ خَرَجْتُ إِلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ حَلْقَةٌ كَأَنَّمَا قُطِعَتْ رُءُوسُهُمْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي، قَالَ: قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: أَبَصْرِيٌّ أَنْتَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: قَدْ عَرَفْتُ لَوْ كُنْتَ كُوفِيًّا لَمْ تَسْأَلْ عَنْ هَذَا، هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَنْ يَسْبِقَنِي، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " يَا، ، حُذَيْفَةُ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ، وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ "، ـ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ـ (١ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " فِتْنَةٌ وَشَرٌّ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: يَا حُذَيْفَةَ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ " ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، ١) قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: " هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الْهُدْنَةُ عَلَى دَخَنٍ، مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ: " لَا تَرْجِعُ قُلُوبُ أَقْوَامٍ عَلَى الَّذِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ (٢ قَالَ: يَا حُذَيْفَةَ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ " ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ ٢) قَالَ: " فِتْنَةٌ عَمْيَاءُ صَمَّاءُ، عَلَيْهَا دُعَاةٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ، وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلٍ، خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Nasr bin Asim says that once I came to Yashkari with a group of Banu Laith. He asked, "Who are you people?" We replied, "We are from Banu Laith." We inquired about his well-being and he inquired about ours. Then we said, "We have come to you to learn the hadith of Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said, "Once we were returning with Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). In Kufa, animals had become very expensive. I, along with one of my companions, sought permission from Abu Musa. He granted us permission, so we reached Kufa early in the morning. I said to my companion, 'I will be inside the mosque. When the market opens, I will come to you.' I entered the mosque and saw a circle (of people) gathered. It seemed as if their heads had been cut off; they were listening to a man's hadith with great attention. I went and stood near them. Meanwhile, another man came and stood by my side. I asked him, 'Who is this person?' He asked me, 'Are you from Basra?' I said, 'Yes!' He said, 'I already understood that if you were from Kufa, you would not have asked about this person. This is Hudhaifa bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him).' I went near him and heard him saying, 'People used to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about good, and I used to ask about evil because I knew that good could not go ahead leaving me behind. One day I submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! Will there be evil after this good?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Hudhaifa! Learn the Book of Allah and follow its commands." (He said this three times.) I repeated my question. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will be tribulation and evil." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will there be evil after this good?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said three times, "Hudhaifa! Learn the Book of Allah and follow its commands." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Will there be evil after this good?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will be reconciliation upon smoke and agreement upon filth." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by reconciliation upon smoke?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "People will not be pleased with this reconciliation in their hearts." Then the same questions and answers took place between me and the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A tribulation will come that will make one blind and deaf. There will be people appointed who will call towards the doors of Hell. O Hudhaifa! If you die in such a state that you are holding the trunk of a tree with your teeth, it is better than following any one of them."
