1211 صحيح حديث حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ يَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ، وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَشَرٍّ، فَجَاءَنَا اللهُ بِهذَا الْخَيْرِ، فَهَلْ بَعْدَ هذَا الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قُلْتُ: وَهَلْ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ الشَّرِّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَفِيهِ دَخَنٌ قُلْتُ: وَمَا دَخَنُهُ قَالَ: قَوْمٌ يَهْدُونَ بَغَيْرِ هَدْيي، تَعْرِفُ مِنْهُمْ وَتُنْكِرُ قُلْتُ: فَهَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، دُعَاةٌ إِلَى أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، مَنْ أَجَابَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا قَذَفُوهُ فِيهَا قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا فَقَالَ: هُمْ مِنْ جِلْدَتِنَا، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا قُلْتُ: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي، إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ: تَلْزَمُ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِمَامَهُمْ قُلْتُ: فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ وَلاَ إِمَامٌ قَالَ: فَاعْتَزِلْ تِلْكَ الْفِرَقَ كُلَّهَا، وَلَوْ أَنْ تَعَضَّ بِأَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَكَ الْمَوْتُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى ذلِكَ
Abu Idris Khawlani narrated, he heard from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), who used to say that while the other companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, I would ask about evil out of fear that I might fall into it. So once I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! We were in a time of ignorance and evil. Then Allah Almighty bestowed upon us this goodness (of Islam). Will there be any evil after this goodness?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes." I asked, "And after that evil, will there be any goodness?" He said, "Yes, but there will be some smoke with that goodness." I asked, "What will that smoke be?" He replied, "There will be people who will adopt ways other than my Sunnah and my path. Among them, some things will be good and some will be bad." I asked, "Will there be evil after that goodness as well?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes, there will be callers at the gates of Hell; whoever accepts their call, they will throw him into Hell." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please describe them for us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "They will be from our own people and religion, and they will speak our language." I asked, "What do you command me to do if I reach that time?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Stay with the group of Muslims and their Imam." I asked, "And if there is no group of Muslims and no Imam?" He said, "Then keep yourself away from all those sects, even if you have to bite the root of a tree, until death comes to you while you are in that state. (That will be better for you than being in their company.)"
