حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لِحُذَيْفَةَ: أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ إِذَا خَرَجَ مَاءً وَنَارًا، الَّذِي يَرَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهَا نَارٌ فَمَاءٌ بَارِدٌ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَرَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مَاءٌ فَنَارٌ تُحْرِقُ، فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَقَعْ فِي الَّذِي يَرَى أَنَّهَا نَارٌ فَإِنَّهَا مَاءٌ عَذْبٌ بَارِدٌ "، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ لِيَقْبِضَ نَفْسَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: هَلْ عَمِلْتَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَعْلَمُ، قِيلَ لَهُ: انْظُرْ، قَالَ: مَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ وَأُجَازِفُهُمْ (١) ، فَأُنْظِرُ الْمُوسِرَ (٢) وَأَتَجَاوَزُ عَنِ الْمُعْسِرِ، فَأَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ "، ، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ رَجُلًا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ، فَلَمَّا أَيِسَ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ أَوْصَى أَهْلَهُ: إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَاجْمَعُوا لِي حَطَبًا كَثِيرًا جَزْلًا، ثُمَّ أَوْقِدُوا فِيهِ نَارًا، حَتَّى إِذَا أَكَلَتْ لَحْمِي وَخَلَصَ إِلَى عَظْمِي فَامْتَحَشَتْ، فَخُذُوهَا فَاذْرُوهَا فِي الْيَمِّ، فَفَعَلُوا، فَجَمَعَهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ: لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ قَالَ: فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ "، قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ نَبَّاشًا (١)، ،

Rabi’ says that once Uqbah bin Amr said to Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), “Why do you not narrate to us any hadith you heard from the Prophet (ﷺ)?” He replied, “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: When the Dajjal appears, he will have with him water and fire. What people will see as fire will actually be cool water, and what they will see as water will actually be burning fire. Whoever among you encounters him should plunge into what appears to be fire, for it will be sweet and cool water.” Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: In earlier times, the Angel of Death came to a man to seize his soul and asked him, ‘Have you ever done any good deed?’ He replied, ‘I do not know.’ The angel said, ‘Think about it.’ He said, ‘I do not know of any good deed except that I used to trade with people and would give respite to the one in difficulty and overlook (his debt).’ Allah Almighty admitted him to Paradise.” And I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “When the time of death approached a man, he said to his family, ‘When I die, burn me in fire, then crush my ashes, and on a windy day scatter my ashes in the air.’ When he died, his family did as he had asked. Allah gathered him in His power and asked, ‘What made you do this?’ He replied, ‘Your fear.’ Allah said, ‘I have forgiven you.’”
