حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، وَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ يَحْفَظُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا، كَمَا قَالَهُ، قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ عَلَيْهَا ـ أَوْ عَلَيْهِ ـ، قُلْتُ: " فَتْنَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ، وَوَلَدِهِ وَجَارِهِ، يُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ، وَالْأَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ "، قَالَ: لَيْسَ هَذَا أُرِيدُ، وَلَكِنِ الْفِتْنَةُ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ كَمَوْجِ الْبَحْرِ، قُلْتُ: لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا بَأْسٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بَابًا مُغْلَقًا، قَالَ: أَيُكْسَرُ أَوْ يُفْتَحُ؟ قُلْتُ: بَلْ يُكْسَرُ، قَالَ: إِذًا لَا يُغْلَقُ أَبَدًا، قُلْنَا: أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْبَابُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، كَمَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دُونَ غَدٍ لَيْلَةً ـ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ لِحُذَيْفَةَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، كَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَا حَدَّثْتُهُ بِهِ؟ قُلْنَا: أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْبَابُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، كَمَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دُونَ غَدٍ لَيْلَةً ـ إِنِّي حَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ، فَهِبْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ مَنِ الْبَابُ، فَأَمَرْنَا مَسْرُوقًا فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: الْبَابُ عُمَرُ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Who among you remembers the hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding tribulations?" I said, "I remember it just as the Prophet (ﷺ) said it." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You are very brave." I said, "The trials that befall a person regarding his family, wealth, children, and neighbors are expiated by prayer, zakat, enjoining good, and forbidding evil." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I am not asking about that. I am asking about the tribulation which will spread like the waves of the sea." I said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You do not need to worry about it. Between you and it, there is a closed door." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Will the door be broken or opened?" I said, "It will be broken." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then it will never be closed again." We asked, "Did Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) know who the door was?" Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Yes! Just as he knew that night comes after day. I narrated the hadith to him, not a riddle." Then the awe of Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) prevented us from asking who the door was, so we said to Masruq, and he asked, and Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The door was Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) himself."
