حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْمَاصِرُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ بِالْمَدَائِنِ ، فَكَانَ يَذْكُرُ أَشْيَاءَ قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْغَضَبِ ، فَيَنْطَلِقُ نَاسٌ مِمَّنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَأْتُونَ سَلْمَانَ فَيَذْكُرُونَ لَهُ قَوْلَ حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَقُولُ سَلْمَانُ : حُذَيْفَةُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُ ، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ ، فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ : قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا قَوْلَكَ لِسَلْمَانَ فَمَا صَدَّقَكَ وَلَا كَذَّبَكَ ، فَأَتَى حُذَيْفَةُ سَلْمَانَ وَهُوَ فِي مَبْقَلَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا سَلْمَانُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُصَدِّقَنِي بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْضَبُ ، فَيَقُولُ فِي الْغَضَبِ لِنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، وَيَرْضَى فَيَقُولُ فِي الرِّضَا لِنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ : أَمَا تَنْتَهِي حَتَّى تُوَرِّثَ رِجَالًا حُبَّ رِجَالٍ ، وَرِجَالًا بُغْضَ رِجَالٍ ، وَحَتَّى تُوقِعَ اخْتِلَافًا وَفُرْقَةً ، وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ : أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبَبْتُهُ سَبَّةً أَوْ لَعَنْتُهُ لَعْنَةً فِي غَضَبِي ، فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا مِنْ وَلَدِ آدَمَ أَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُونَ ، وَإِنَّمَا بَعَثَنِي رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ ، فَاجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَاةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَتَنْتَهِيَنَّ أَوْ لَأَكْتُبَنَّ إِلَى عُمَرَ " .
Amr bin Abl Qurrah said: Hudhaifah was in al-Mada’in. He used to mention things which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to some people from among his Companions in anger. The people who heard from Hudhaifah would go to Salman and tell him what Hudhaifah said. Salman would say: Hudhaifah knows best what he says. Then they would come to Hudhaifah and tell him: We mentioned Salman what you said, but he neither testified you nor falsified you. So Hudhaifah came to salman who was in his vegetable farm, and said: Salman, what prevents you from testifying me of what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Salman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sometimes would be angry, and said in anger something to some of his Companions; he would be sometimes pleased and said in pleasure something to some of his Companions. Would you not stop until you create love of some people in the hearts of some people, and hatred of some people in the hearts of some people, and until you generate disagreement and dissension? You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed, saying: If I abused any person of my people, or cursed him in my anger. I am one of the children of Adam: I become angry as they become angry. He (Allah) has sent me as a mercy for all worlds. (O Allah!) make them (Abuse or curse) blessing for them on the day of judgment! I swear by Allah. You should stop (mentioning these traditions), otherwise I shall writ to Umar.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
No person, regardless of how personally elevated he may be in goodness and righteousness, can be permitted to publicize the shortcomings of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) among the general public, as this may result in some people developing love for certain Companions and harboring enmity towards others, and people may fall into doubts and suspicions regarding this sanctified group, leading to division among them. However, within a limited and specific scholarly circle, it is permissible to mention such matters before trustworthy people of knowledge and virtue for the purpose of clarification and understanding.
