حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ فَتًى مِنَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ لِحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، رَأَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَحِبْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ كُنْتُمْ تَصْنَعُونَ؟ قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كُنَّا نَجْهَدُ، قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَوْ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ مَا تَرَكْنَاهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَلَجَعَلْنَاهُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْخَنْدَقِ، وَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ هَوِيًّا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: " مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَقُومُ فَيَنْظُرَ لَنَا مَا فَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ يَشْرُطُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ يَرْجِعُ أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ "، فَمَا قَامَ رَجُلٌ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَوِيًّا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ: " مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَقُومُ فَيَنْظُرَ لَنَا مَا فَعَلَ الْقَوْمُ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ يَشْرِطُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجْعَةَ، أَسْأَلُ اللهَ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَفِيقِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ "، فَمَا قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مَعَ شِدَّةِ الْخَوْفِ، وَشِدَّةِ الْجُوعِ، وَشِدَّةِ الْبَرْدِ، فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي بُدٌّ مِنَ الْقِيَامِ حِينَ دَعَانِي، فَقَالَ: " يَا حُذَيْفَةُ، فَاذْهَبْ فَادْخُلْ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَانْظُرْ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ، وَلَا تُحْدِثَنَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنَا "، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ فِي الْقَوْمِ، وَالرِّيحُ وَجُنُودُ اللهِ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَفْعَلُ لَا تَقِرُّ لَهُمْ قِدْرًا، وَلَا نَارًا وَلَا بِنَاءً، فَقَامَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ، ، حَرْبٍ فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، لِيَنْظُرْ امْرُؤٌ مَنْ جَلِيسُهُ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي إِلَى جَنْبِي، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ، إِنَّكُمْ وَاللهِ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ بِدَارِ مُقَامٍ لَقَدْ هَلَكَ الْكُرَاعُ، وَأَخْلَفَتْنَا بَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ، وَبَلَغَنَا عَنْهُمُ (١) الَّذِي نَكْرَهُ، وَلَقِينَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الرِّيحِ مَا تَرَوْنَ، وَاللهِ مَا تَطْمَئِنُّ لَنَا قِدْرٌ، وَلَا تَقُومُ لَنَا نَارٌ، وَلَا يَسْتَمْسِكُ لَنَا بِنَاءٌ، فَارْتَحِلُوا فَإِنِّي مُرْتَحِلٌ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى جَمَلِهِ وَهُوَ مَعْقُولٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهُ فَوَثَبَ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ، فَمَا أَطْلَقَ عِقَالَهُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ، وَلَوْلَا عَهْدُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي، ثُمَّ شِئْتُ لَقَتَلْتُهُ بِسَهْمٍ، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فِي مِرْطٍ لِبَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ مُرَحَّلٍ، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَدْخَلَنِي إِلَى رَحْلِهِ، وَطَرَحَ عَلَيَّ طَرَفَ الْمِرْطِ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِيهِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ، وَسَمِعَتْ غَطَفَانُ بِمَا فَعَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ، فَانْشَمَرُوا إِلَى بِلَادِهِمْ (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ka'b Qarzi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a young man from among the people of Kufa asked Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Abdullah! Did you have the honor of seeing and accompanying the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?" He replied, "Yes, nephew!" The questioner asked, "What would you people do?" He replied, "We would put ourselves in hardship." The questioner said, "By Allah! If we had found the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), we would not have let him walk on the ground, but would have carried him on our necks." Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Nephew! By Allah! We saw during the Battle of the Trench that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) led us in the 'Isha prayer in the darkness of the night, then turned towards us and said, 'Who is the man who will go and find out the condition of the enemy?' The Prophet (ﷺ) promised that Allah would admit him to Paradise, but no one stood up. After some part of the night had passed, the Prophet (ﷺ) again led us in prayer, then turned towards us and made the same announcement, and this time said, 'He will be my companion in Paradise.' Still, due to the intensity of fear, hunger, and cold, no one stood up. When no one stood up, the Prophet (ﷺ) called me. At that time, I had no choice but to stand. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), go and see what the condition of the enemy is, and do not do anything new until you return to us.' So I went and entered the enemy's camp, where the winds and Allah's army were at work, and none of their pots, fires, or tents could remain in place. Seeing this, Abu Sufyan bin Harb stood up and said, 'O group of Quraysh, let every man see who is sitting with him (lest there be a spy).' At this, I grabbed the hand of the man sitting next to me and asked him, 'Who are you?' He replied, 'I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so.' Then Abu Sufyan said, 'O group of Quraysh, by Allah! It is no longer possible for you to remain here. The livestock are perishing, Banu Qurayza have broken their promise to us, and we are facing unpleasant circumstances from their side, and you can see for yourselves the situation caused by this wind: no pot can remain in place, no fire can stay lit, and the tents cannot remain standing. Therefore, my opinion is that you should return, and I myself am going back.' Saying this, he went to his horse, which was tied with a rope, mounted it, and spurred it on. It jumped three times, but when he released the rope, it stood still. If the Prophet (ﷺ) had not instructed me not to do anything new until I returned to him, I would have wanted to shoot my arrow and kill him. Then I returned to the Prophet (ﷺ), who at that time was standing in prayer in a cloak made from the hair of one of his noble wives. When he saw me, the Prophet (ﷺ) called me into his tent and covered me with a corner of his cloak. Then he bowed and prostrated while I remained in the tent. When he finished the prayer, I told the Prophet (ﷺ) everything, and when Banu Ghatafan learned what Quraysh had done, they too returned to their own area.
