Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23329

It is narrated from Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once my mother asked me, "Since when have you been associated with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)?" I told her an approximate time. She began to scold and reproach me harshly. I said to her, "Step aside, I am going to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ); I will perform the Maghrib prayer with him and will not leave him until he seeks forgiveness for both me and you." So I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and performed the Maghrib prayer with him. After that, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led the 'Isha prayer and then returned. I followed behind him. On the way, a man met him, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) began to talk with him. When he left, I started walking behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) heard my footsteps and asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "Hudhaifa." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is the matter?" I narrated the whole incident. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah forgive you and your mother." Then he said, "Did you ever see the person on earth whom I just met a little while ago?" I replied, "Why not?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He was an angel who had never descended to earth before tonight. He sought permission from the Lord to come and greet me and to give the glad tidings that Hasan and Husain are the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and Fatimah is the leader of the women of Paradise."
