Musnad Ahmad Hadith 23425

Sabi’ says that once the people sent me to buy an animal. We reached a gathering where many people were assembled around a man. My companion went towards the animals, while I went towards that man. Upon reaching there, I found out that he was Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him). I went close to 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 presence of the Messenger (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah! Will there be evil after this good? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Hudhaifah! 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: Hudhaifah! 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 a truce established upon smoke, and there will be unity upon filth. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by a truce established upon smoke? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: People will not be pleased with this truce in their hearts. Then the same questions and answers occurred between me and the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: There will come a tribulation that will make one blind and deaf. Upon it, there will be people appointed who will call towards the doors of Hell. O Hudhaifah! If you die in such a state that you are biting the trunk of a tree with your teeth, that is better than following any one of them. I asked: Then what will happen? He said: Then the Dajjal will emerge. I asked: What will be with him? He said: With him will be a river or water and fire. Whoever enters his river, his reward will be lost and his punishment will be certain, and whoever enters his fire, his reward will be certain and his sins will be forgiven. I asked: Then what will happen? He said: If your horse gives birth, you will not get the chance to ride its offspring before the Hour is established.
