حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُکَيْنٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْکَاتِبِ التَّمِيمِيِّ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ قَالَ کُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّی کَأَنَّا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ فَقُمْتُ إِلَی أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَضَحِکْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ قَالَ فَذَکَرْتُ الَّذِي کُنَّا فِيهِ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَکْرٍ فَقُلْتُ نَافَقْتُ نَافَقْتُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُهُ فَذَهَبَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَذَکَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ لَوْ کُنْتُمْ کَمَا تَکُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْکُمْ الْمَلَائِکَةُ عَلَی فُرُشِکُمْ أَوْ عَلَی طُرُقِکُمْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4239
t was narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe said: “We were with the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H and we spoke of Paradise and Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went to my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then I remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do that.” So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet , who said: “0 Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. 0 Hanzalah, there is a time for this and a time for that.” (Sahih)
