It was narrated that Al-Hasan said: "'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad entered upon Ma'qil bin Yasar when he was in pain. He asked him and he said: 'I am going to tell you a Hadith which I did not tell you before. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "There is no person whom Allah puts in charge of others, and when he dies he has cheated his subjects, but Allah will forbid Paradise to him."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ دَخَلَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَلَى مَعْقَلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ أَكُنْ حَدَّثْتُكَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَرْعِي اللَّهُ عَبْدًا رَعِيَّةً يَمُوتُ حِينَ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ غَاشٌّ لَهَا إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ.قَالَ أَلَّا كُنْتَ حَدَّثْتَنِي هَذَا قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ؟ قَالَ مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ أَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ لَأُحَدِّثَكَ.

It was narrated from Abu Al-Malih that 'Ubaidullah bin Ziyad visited Ma'qil bin Yasar when he was sick, and Ma'qil said to him: "I am going to tell you about a Hadith which, if I were not dying, I would not tell you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'There is no commander who becomes in charge of the Muslims, then does not strive sincerely for them, but he will not enter Paradise with them.'"

و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ عَادَ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَعْقِلٌ إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ لَوْلَا أَنِّي فِي الْمَوْتِ لَمْ أُحَدِّثْكَ بِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَمِيرٍ يَلِي أَمْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجْهَدُ لَهُمْ وَيَنْصَحُ إِلَّا لَمْ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ.

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) told us two Ahadith, one of which has come to pass and I am still waiting for the other. He told us: Honesty was preserved in the roots of men's hearts, then the Qur'an was revealed and they learned (it) from the Qur'an and from the Sunnah." "Then he told us about its disappearance, saying: 'A man will go to sleep and honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain, like the traces of a faint mark. Then he will go to sleep, and the honesty will be taken away from his heart, leaving a trace like a blister, as when an ember touches your foot and raises a blister which has nothing inside.Then he picked up a handful of pebbles and rolled them on his leg. 'People will engage in business with one another, but there will hardly be any honest persons among them. Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe there is an honest man, and a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, but there will not be even a mustard-seed of faith in his heart!"' "There was a time when I did not mind dealing with any one of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian or a Jew, his (Muslim) ruler would prevent him from cheating; but today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so."

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "We were with 'Umar and he said: 'Which of you heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) speak of Al-Fitan (trials or tribulations)?' The people said: 'We heard him.' He said: 'Perhaps you mean the tribulations that a man encounters with his family or neighbors?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'That can be expiated by means of the Salat, fasting and charity. But who among you heard the Prophet (s.a.w) speak of the tribulations which will come like waves?"' Hudhaifah said: "The people remained silent, but I said: 'I did.' He said: 'You, may Allah bless your father.'" Hudhaifah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'Tribulations will stick to people's hearts like the fibers of a reed mat, one by one. Any heart that imbibes them will get a black spot, and any heart that rejects them will get a white spot, until there will be two types of hearts. One will be white like a smooth stone, which will not be harmed by any tribulation so long as heaven and earth endure. And the other will be black and gloomy, like an overturned vessel, not acknowledging any goodness nor rejecting any evil, except what suits its own whims and desires. "' Hudhaifah said: "I told him ('Umar): 'Between you and that Fitnah stands a closed door that will soon be broken.' 'Umar said: 'Would it really be broken, may you be bereft of your father? If it is opened, perhaps it can be closed again.' I said: 'No, rather it will be broken.' And I told him: 'That door is a man who will be killed or will die, it is a Hadith in which there are no mistakes."'

It was narrated from Hudhaifah that 'Umar said: "Who can tell us" - or "who among you can tell us" - and among them was Hudhaifah - "what the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said about Al-Fitnah (trials or tribulations)?" Hudhaifah said: "I can." And he quoted a Hadith similar to that of Abu Malik from Rib'i (no. 370). He said in the Hadith: "Hudhaifah said: 'I told him a Hadith in which there are no mistakes,' meaning, it is from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)."

و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ مَنْ يُحَدِّثُنَا أَوْ قَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحَدِّثُنَا - وَفِيهِمْ حُذَيْفَةُ - مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ؟ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ كَنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ حَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ وَقَالَ يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Islam began as something strange and will revert to being something strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ مَرْوَانَ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدَأَ الْإِسْلَامُ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Islam began as something strange and will revert to being something strange as it began, and it will retreat between the two Masjid as a snake retreats to its hole."'

و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَالْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْأَعْرَجُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعُمَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا وَسَيَعُودُ غَرِيبًا كَمَا بَدَأَ وَهُوَ يَأْرِزُ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدَيْنِ كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ فِي جُحْرِهَا.

It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The Hour will not begin so long as it is said on earth: 'Allah, Allah."'

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى لَا يُقَالَ فِي الْأَرْضِ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ.

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and he said: 'Tell me how many people have professed Islam.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us while we are between six hundred and seven hundred strong?' He said: 'You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.' He said: 'And we were tested, until some of us performed Salat only in secret."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَحْصُوا لِيْ كَمْ يَلْفِظُ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّ مِائَةٍ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةٍ؟ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا قَالَ فَابْتُلِيَنَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا.

It was narrated from 'Amir bin Sa'd that his father said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) distributed (some wealth) and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, give to so-and-so, for he is a believer.' The Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim.' I said it three times, and each time he replied: 'Or a Muslim.' Then he said: 'I may give to one man, although someone else is more beloved to me than him, for fear lest Allah throw him into the Fire.'"

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَسْمًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِ فُلَانًا فَإِنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ أَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا وَيُرَدِّدُهَا عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثًا أَوْ مُسْلِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ.
