Chapter: Mention Of Tribulations And Their Signs.
Hadith 4245
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْيَشْكُرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ بَعْدَ السَّيْفِ ، قَالَ : بَقِيَّةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ وَهُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ ثُمَّ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَضَعُهُ عَلَى الرِّدَّةِ الَّتِي فِي زَمَنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ يَقُولُ قَذًى وَهُدْنَةٌ يَقُولُ : صُلْحٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ عَلَى 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.
