حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَضَّاحِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، نَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، نَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازُ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، ثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قُرْطٍ قَالَ : مَرَرْتُ بِالْكُوفَةِ ، فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِقَوْمٍ جُلُوسٍ كَأَنَّمَا قُطِعَتْ رُءُوسُهُمْ ، فَجَلَسْتُ فِي أَدْنَى الْقَوْمِ ، فَقُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ : يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ، مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا لَعَرَفْتَهُ ، هَذَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ .
فَأَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ ، وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنَا عَنِ الشَّرِّ ، حَتَّى أَتَّقِيَهُ ، وَأَعْلَمَ أَنَّ الْخَيْرَ لَنْ يَفُوتَنِي ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، هَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي يَجِيءُ فِيهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ ؟ قَالَ : يَا حُذَيْفَةُ ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ ، فِتْنَةٌ وَاخْتِلَافٌ I " فَقُلْتُ : أَفَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ ؟ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ ، جَمَاعَةٌ عَلَى أَقْذَاءٍ ، وَهُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ I " قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ ؟ قَالَ : I " يَا حُذَيْفَةُ ، تَعَلَّمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَاعْمَلْ بِمَا فِيهِ I " ، حَتَّى سَأَلْتُهُ أَيْضًا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ، يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " نَعَمْ ، يَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ ، عَلَى أَبْوَابِهَا دُعَاةٌ إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَأَنْ تَمُوتَ حِينَ تَمُوتُ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى جِذْلٍ ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَتَّبِعَ أَحَدَهُمْ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْخَزَّازِ إِلَّا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ I " .

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Qurt that he said: "I passed through Kufah and entered the mosque. There I saw some people sitting (in complete silence and stillness) as though their heads had been cut off. I sat at the very edge of the gathering and asked a man: O servant of Allah! Who is this gentleman? He said: It seems you are a stranger? I said: Yes. He said: Had you been one of the people of this place, you would certainly have recognised him; this is Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Then he began speaking to the people and said: "People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, and I used to ask him (peace and blessings be upon him) about evil, so that I could guard against it, knowing that good would never escape me." He said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! After this good in which we now are, will there be any evil?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hudhayfah! Learn the Book of Allah and act upon what is in it." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, tribulation and discord." I said: "Will there then be any good after that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, a community that is (outwardly) united despite the grudges within it, and a truce in which corruption lies hidden." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! After that good, will there be any evil?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hudhayfah! Learn the Book of Allah and act upon what is in it." This went on until I had repeated the same question to him (peace and blessings be upon him) three times, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying the same; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, there will be a tribulation at whose gates will stand callers to the Fire. That you should die at that time while biting firmly on the root of a tree (that is, living in seclusion) is better for you than following any one of these instigators of tribulation."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Amir al-Khazzaz except Rawh bin Ubadah."
