حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَسِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ الْبَرَّادِ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُحَلِّقَ حَبِيبَهُ حَلْقَةً مِنْ نَارٍ فَلْيُحَلِّقْهُ حَلْقَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُطَوِّقَ حَبِيبَهُ طَوْقًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَلْيُطَوِّقْهُ طَوْقًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُسَوِّرَ حَبِيبَهُ سِوَارًا مِنْ نَارٍ فَلْيُسَوِّرْهُ سِوَارًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلَکِنْ عَلَيْکُمْ بِالْفِضَّةِ فَالْعَبُوا بِهَا

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone wants to put a ring of fire on one he loves, let him put a gold ring on him: if anyone wants to put a necklace of fire on one he loves, let him put a gold necklace on him, and if anyone wants to put a bracelet of fire on one he loves let him put a gold bracelet on him. Keep to silver and amuse yourselves with it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ امْرَأَتِهِ عَنْ أُخْتٍ لِحُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَائِ أَمَا لَکُنَّ فِي الْفِضَّةِ مَا تَحَلَّيْنَ بِهِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْکُنَّ امْرَأَةٌ تَحَلَّی ذَهَبًا تُظْهِرُهُ إِلَّا عُذِّبَتْ بِهِ

Narrated A sister of Hudhayfah: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: You women folk, have in silver something with which you adorn yourselves. I assure you that any woman of you who adorns herself with gold which she displays will be punished for it.

أُخْتٍ لِحُذَيْفَةَ ← امْرَأَتِهِ ← رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ← مَنْصُورٌ، ← أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ← مُسَدَّدٌ

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی أَنَّ مَحْمُودَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَسْمَائَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَقَلَّدَتْ قِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ قُلِّدَتْ فِي عُنُقِهَا مِثْلَهُ مِنْ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ جَعَلَتْ فِي أُذُنِهَا خُرْصًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ جُعِلَ فِي أُذُنِهَا مِثْلُهُ مِنْ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Narrated Asma daughter of Yazid: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: Any woman who wears a gold necklace will have a similar one of fire put on her neck on the Day of Resurrection, and any woman who puts a gold earring in her ear will have a similar one of fire put in her ear on the Day of Resurrection.

حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَنَّادِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی عَنْ رُکُوبِ النِّمَارِ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الذَّهَبِ إِلَّا مُقَطَّعًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد أَبُو قِلَابَةَ لَمْ يَلْقَ مُعَاوِيَةَ

Narrated Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to ride on panther skins and to wear gold except a little. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abu Qilabah did not meet Muawiyah.

مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ← أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ← مَيْمُونٍ الْقَنَّادِ ← خَالِدٌ، ← إِسْمَعِيلُ ← حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا فَمَا تَرَکَ شَيْئًا يَکُونُ فِي مَقَامِهِ ذَلِکَ إِلَی قِيَامِ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا حَدَّثَهُ حَفِظَهُ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ وَنَسِيَهُ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ قَدْ عَلِمَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ هَؤُلَائِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَکُونُ مِنْهُ الشَّيْئُ فَأَذْکُرُهُ کَمَا يَذْکُرُ الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ إِذَا رَآهُ عَرَفَهُ

Narrated Hudhaifa: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us (to give us an address) and he left out nothing that would happen up to the last hour without telling of it. Some remembered it and some forgot, and these Companions of his have known it. When something of it which I have forgotten happens, I remembered it, just as a man remembers another's face when he is a away and recognizes him when he sees him.

حُذَيْفَةَ ← أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ← الْاَعْمَشِ ← جَرِيرٌ ← عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ فَارِسٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ فَرُّوخَ أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنٌ لِقَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَنَسِيَ أَصْحَابِي أَمْ تَنَاسَوْا وَاللَّهِ مَا تَرَکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قَائِدِ فِتْنَةٍ إِلَی أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ الدُّنْيَا يَبْلُغُ مَنْ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ فَصَاعِدًا إِلَّا قَدْ سَمَّاهُ لَنَا بِاسْمِهِ وَاسْمِ أَبِيهِ وَاسْمِ قَبِيلَتِهِ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: four (majestic) trials (fitnahs) will take place among this community, and in their end there will be destruction.

أَبِيهِ ← ابْنٌ لِقَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ← أَسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ← ابْنُ فَرُّوخَ، ← ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ فَارِسٍ

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَکُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَرْبَعُ فِتَنٍ فِي آخِرِهَا الْفَنَائُ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: When we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he talked about periods of trial (fitnahs), mentioning many of them. When he mentioned the one when people should stay in their houses, some asked him: Messenger of Allah, what is the trial (fitnah) of staying at home? He replied: It will be flight and plunder. Then will come a test which is pleasant. Its murkiness is due to the fact that it is produced by a man from the people of my house, who will assert that he belongs to me, whereas he does not, for my friends are only the God-fearing. Then the people will unite under a man who will be like a hip-bone on a rib. Then there will be the little black trial which will leave none of this community without giving him a slap, and when people say that it is finished, it will be extended. During it a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, so that the people will be in two camps: the camp of faith which will contain no hypocrisy, and the camp of hypocrisy which will contain no faith. When that happens, expect the Antichrist (Dajjal) that day or the next.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَلَائُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ الْعَنْسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ کُنَّا قُعُودًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَذَکَرَ الْفِتَنَ فَأَکْثَرَ فِي ذِکْرِهَا حَتَّی ذَکَرَ فِتْنَةَ الْأَحْلَاسِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا فِتْنَةُ الْأَحْلَاسِ قَالَ هِيَ هَرَبٌ وَحَرْبٌ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ السَّرَّائِ دَخَنُهَا مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ مِنِّي وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَإِنَّمَا أَوْلِيَائِي الْمُتَّقُونَ ثُمَّ يَصْطَلِحُ النَّاسُ عَلَی رَجُلٍ کَوَرِکٍ عَلَی ضِلَعٍ ثُمَّ فِتْنَةُ الدُّهَيْمَائِ لَا تَدَعُ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لَطَمَتْهُ لَطْمَةً فَإِذَا قِيلَ انْقَضَتْ تَمَادَتْ يُصْبِحُ الرَّجُلُ فِيهَا مُؤْمِنًا وَيُمْسِي کَافِرًا حَتَّی يَصِيرَ النَّاسُ إِلَی فُسْطَاطَيْنِ فُسْطَاطِ إِيمَانٍ لَا نِفَاقَ فِيهِ وَفُسْطَاطِ نِفَاقٍ لَا إِيمَانَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا کَانَ ذَاکُمْ فَانْتَظِرُوا الدَّجَّالَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ أَوْ مِنْ غَدِهِ

Narrated Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman: I swear by Allah, I do not know whether my companions have forgotten or have pretended to forgot. I swear by Allah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not omit a leader of a wrong belief (fitnah)--up to the end of the world--whose followers reach the number of three hundred and upwards but he mentioned to us his name, his father's name and the name of his tribe.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ سُبَيْعِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ الْکُوفَةَ فِي زَمَنِ فُتِحَتْ تُسْتَرُ أَجْلُبُ مِنْهَا بِغَالًا فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا صَدْعٌ مِنْ الرِّجَالِ وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ جَالِسٌ تَعْرِفُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ أَهْلِ الْحِجَازِ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَتَجَهَّمَنِي الْقَوْمُ وَقَالُوا أَمَا تَعْرِفُ هَذَا هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ کَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْخَيْرِ وَکُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ الشَّرِّ فَأَحْدَقَهُ الْقَوْمُ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَرَی الَّذِي تُنْکِرُونَ إِنِّي قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا اللَّهُ أَيَکُونُ بَعْدَهُ شَرٌّ کَمَا کَانَ قَبْلَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ السَّيْفُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاذَا يَکُونُ قَالَ إِنْ کَانَ لِلَّهِ خَلِيفَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرَکَ وَأَخَذَ مَالَکَ فَأَطِعْهُ وَإِلَّا فَمُتْ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ بِجِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ مَعَهُ نَهْرٌ وَنَارٌ فَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَارِهِ وَجَبَ أَجْرُهُ وَحُطَّ وِزْرُهُ وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي نَهْرِهِ وَجَبَ وِزْرُهُ وَحُطَّ أَجْرُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ هِيَ قِيَامُ السَّاعَةِ

Narrated Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman: Subay' ibn Khalid said: I came to Kufah at the time when Tustar was conquered. I took some mules from it. When I entered the mosque (of Kufah), I found there some people of moderate stature, and among them was a man whom you could recognize when you saw him that he was from the people of Hijaz. I asked: Who is he? The people frowned at me and said: Do you not recognize him? This is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Hudhayfah said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Then the people stared hard at him. He said: I know the reason why you dislike it. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil as there was before, after this good which Allah has bestowed on us? He replied: Yes. I asked: Wherein does the protection from it lie? He replied: In the sword. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what will then happen? He replied: If Allah has on Earth a caliph who flays your back and takes your property, obey him, otherwise die holding onto the stump of a tree. I asked: What will come next? He replied: Then the Antichrist (Dajjal) will come forth accompanied by a river and fire. He who falls into his fire will certainly receive his reward, and have his load taken off him, but he who falls into his river will have his load retained and his reward taken off him. I then asked: What will come next? He said: The Last Hour will come.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ فَارِسٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْيَشْکُرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَعْدَ السَّيْفِ قَالَ بَقِيَّةٌ عَلَی أَقْذَائٍ وَهُدْنَةٌ عَلَی دَخَنٍ ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ وَکَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَضَعُهُ عَلَی الرِّدَّةِ الَّتِي فِي زَمَنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ عَلَی أَقْذَائٍ يَقُولُ قَذًی وَهُدْنَةٌ يَقُولُ صُلْحٌ عَلَی دَخَنٍ عَلَی ضَغَائِنَ

The traditions mentioned above has also been transmitted by Khalid bin Khalid al-Yashkuri through different chain of narrators. This version has: I (Hudhaifah) asked: Will any be spared after the use of the sword ? He replied: There will be remnant with specks in its eye and an illusory truce. He then transmitted the rest of the tradition. Qatadah applied this to the apostasy during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr. The word aqdha' (sing. qadhan) means specks, hudnah means truce and dakhan means malice.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا الْيَشْکُرِيَّ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ الْقَوْمُ قُلْنَا بَنُو لَيْثٍ أَتَيْنَاکَ نَسْأَلُکَ عَنْ حَدِيثِ حُذَيْفَةَ فَذَکَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ فِتْنَةٌ وَشَرٌّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ تَعَلَّمْ کِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَاتَّبِعْ مَا فِيهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ هُدْنَةٌ عَلَی دَخَنٍ وَجَمَاعَةٌ عَلَی أَقْذَائٍ فِيهَا أَوْ فِيهِمْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْهُدْنَةُ عَلَی الدَّخَنِ مَا هِيَ قَالَ لَا تَرْجِعُ قُلُوبُ أَقْوَامٍ عَلَی الَّذِي کَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ فِتْنَةٌ عَمْيَائُ صَمَّائُ عَلَيْهَا دُعَاةٌ عَلَی أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ فَإِنْ تَمُتْ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَی جِذْلٍ خَيْرٌ لَکَ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ

Narrated Hudhayfah: The tradition mentioned above (No. 4232) has also been transmitted through a different chain of narrators by Nasr ibn Asim al-Laythi who said: We came to al-Yashkuri with a group of the people of Banu Layth. He asked: Who are these people? We replied: Banu Layth. We have come to you to ask you about the tradition of Hudhayfah. He then mentioned the tradition and said: I asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good? He replied: There will be trial (fitnah) and evil. I asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be good after this evil? He replied: Learn the Book of Allah, Hudhayfah, and adhere to its contents. He said it three times. I asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be good after this evil? He replied: An illusory truce and a community with specks in its eye. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what do you mean by an illusory community? He replied: The hearts of the people will not return to their former condition. I asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good? He replied: There will be wrong belief which will blind and deafen men to the truth in which there will be summoners at the gates of Hell. If you, Hudhayfah, die adhering to a stump, it will be better for you than following any of them.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Hudhaifah through a different chain of narrators from the Prophet ﷺ. This version says: He said: If you do not find a caliph in those days, then flee away until you die, even of you die holding on (to a stump of a tree). I asked: What will come next ? He replied: If a man wants the mare to bring forth a foal, it will not deliver in till the Last Hour comes.
