(فَضِيلَةُ حَضْرَةِ حُذَيْفَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا)
(The virtue of Hazrat Hudhayfah and Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6241
وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَعَصَيْتُمُوهُ عُذِّبْتُمْ وَلَكِنْ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ حُذَيْفَةُ فَصَدِّقُوهُ وَمَا أقرأكم عبد الله فاقرؤوه» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Hudhaifa told that when the people expressed a desire that God's messenger should name a successor he said, "If I were to name a successor and you were to disobey him you would be punished, but believe what Hudhaifa tells you and recite what `Abdallah recites to you." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
