حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عِقَالٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، ثنا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ جَامِعٍ الْأَرْحَبِيِّ، قَالَ: " أَتَيْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ "
Jami' al-Arhabi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: My companion and I came to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), and we said: "O Abu Abdullah!"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ «أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ كَانَ أَحَدَ بَنِي عَبْسٍ، وَكَانَ عِدَادُهُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ»
Al-Zuhri narrates: Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) was from Banu Abs, and he was counted among the Ansar.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا أَبِي، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: أَخَذَ حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَبَاهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَبْلَ بَدْرٍ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُمْ، وَأَخَذُوا عَلَيْهِمْ عَهْدًا وَمِيثَاقًا أَنْ لَا يُعِينُوا عَلَيْنَا، فَأَرْسَلُوهُما، فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَا: إِنَّا قَدْ جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَنْ لَا نُعِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ قَاتَلْنَا مَعَكَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَلْ نَفِي لَهُمْ، وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ»
Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates: Before Badr, the polytheists seized Sayyiduna Hudhayfah and his father and wanted to kill them. They took a covenant and pledge from them that they would not help against us, and then they released them both. The two of them came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "We have pledged to them that we will not help against them; but if you wish, we will fight alongside you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather we will fulfil our pledge to them, and we will seek Allah's help against them."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، ثنا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَأَبُوهُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَلَقِيَهُمْ أَبُو جَهْلٍ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَقَالُوا لَهُمَا: لَعَلَّكُما تُرِيدَانِ مُحَمَّدًا. قَالَا: قُلْنَا: لَا. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ لَا نُعِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، وَقُلْنَا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا عَلَيْنَا، وَإِنْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نُقَاتِلَ مَعَكَ فَعَلْنَا. فَقَالَ: «بَلْ نَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ وَنَفِي لَهُمْ»
Amir bin Sa'd narrates that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his father were coming on the day of Badr when Abu Jahl and his companions met them and said to the two of them: "Perhaps you two are going to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)." The two of them related: We said: "No." Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So he took a pledge from us that we would not help against them. Then when we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we mentioned this to him and said: "O Prophet of Allah, these people have taken a pledge from us, and if you order us to fight alongside you, we will fight." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather we will seek Allah's help, and we will fulfil our pledge to them."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثنا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ أَبِي سَعْدٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ سَرِيَّةً وَحْدَهُ»
It is narrated from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him alone on a secret mission on the day of al-Ahzab (the Trench).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ بَزِيغٍ، ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ سَاعِدَةَ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَقَرَّ لِعَيْنِي وَلَا أَحَبَّ لِنَفْسِي مِنْ يَوْمٍ آتِي أَهْلِي فَلَا أَجِدُ عِنْدَهُمْ طَعَامًا، وَيَقُولُونَ: مَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَلِيلٍ وَلَا كَثِيرٍ. وَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ أَشَدُّ حِمْيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْمَرِيضِ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ، وَاللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَشَدُّ تَعَاهُدًا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ بِالْبَلَاءِ مِنَ الْوَالِدِ لِوَلَدِهِ بِالْخَيْرِ»
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The day most delightful to my eyes and most beloved to me is the day I come to my family and find no food with them, and they say: "We have neither little nor much." And he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Allah keeps the believer away from the world more strictly than a sick person's family keep him away from food; and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, looks after the believer through trials far more than a father looks after his child through good things."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ فُلْفُلَةَ الْجُعْفِيِّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: «وَاللهِ لَوْ شِئْتُ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ أَلْفَ كَلِمَةٍ تُحِبُّونِي عَلَيْهَا أَوْ تُتَابِعُوني وَتُصَدِّقُونِي بِرًّا مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ أَلْفَ كَلِمَةٍ تُبْغِضُونِي عَلَيْهَا وَتُجَانِبُونِي وَتُكَذِّبُونِي»
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: By Allah, if I wished, I could tell you a thousand things for which you would love me, or follow me and believe me, things that are righteousness from Allah and His Messenger; and if I wished, I could tell you a thousand things for which you would hate me, stay away from me and call me a liar.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْرُوقِيُّ، ثنا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ حُذَيْفَةُ مَنْ يَبْتَاعُ لَهُ كَفَنًا، فَابْتَاعُوا لَهُ كَفَنًا بِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: «لَيْسَ أُرِيدُ هَذَا، وَلَكِنِ ابْتَاعُوا رَيْطَتَيْنِ بَيْضَاوَيْنِ حَسَنَتَيْنِ»
Silah bin Zufar narrates: Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone to buy a shroud for him, and they bought a shroud for three dirhams. Hudhayfah said: "I do not want this; rather, buy two fine white sheets."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّ صِلَةَ بْنَ زُفَرَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ كُفِّنَ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ. قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي وَأَبَا مَسْعُودٍ، فَابْتَعْنَا لَهُ كَفَنًا حُلَّةَ عَصْبٍ بِثَلَاثِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَقَالَ: «أَرِيَانِي مَا ابْتَعْتُما لِي» . فَأَرَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا لِي بِكَفَنٍ، إِنَّمَا يَكْفِينِي رَيْطَتَانِ بَيْضَاوَانِ لَيْسَ مَعَهُمَا قَمِيصٌ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى أَنَالَ خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْهُمَا» . فابْتَعْنَا لَهُ رَيْطَتَيْنِ بَيْضَاوَيْنِ
Silah bin Zufar narrates that Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) was shrouded in two garments. He said: He sent me and Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) to buy a shroud, so we bought him a shroud of a striped Yemeni suit for three hundred dirhams. He said: "Show me what you have bought for me." We showed him, and he said: "This is not suitable as my shroud. Two white sheets without a shirt are enough for me, for I will remain only a short while before I attain something better than them or worse than them." So we bought him two white sheets.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ مَا قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ: «أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ صَبَاحٍ إِلَى النَّارِ، اشْتَرُوا لِي ثَوْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَيْنِ فَكَفِّنُونِي فِيهِمَا، فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يُتْرَكَا عَلَيَّ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى أُكْسَى خَيْرًا مِنْهُمَا، أَوْ أُسْلَبَهُمَا سَلْبًا سَرِيعًا»
Al-Nazzal bin Sabrah narrates: We asked Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) what Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said at the time of his death. He said that Hudhayfah said: "I seek refuge with Allah from a morning that leads to the Fire. Buy two white garments for me and shroud me in them, for they will remain on me only a little while; then either I will be clothed in something better than them, or they will be stripped from me very quickly."
ثنا الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: «مَا مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَشْهَدَ بَدْرًا إِلَّا أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَخَذُوا عَلَيْنَا» . فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Nothing prevented me from taking part in Badr except that the polytheists had taken a pledge from us. Then he narrated the rest of the hadith.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، ثنا عُبَيْدَةُ بْنُ أَسْوَدَ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: كَيْفَ أَصَابَ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ صِلَةُ بْنُ زُفَرَ: قَدْ وَاللهِ سَأَلْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسِيرٍ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَأَدْلَجْنَا دُلْجَةً، فَنَعَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَقَالَ أُنَاسٌ: لَوْ دَفَعْنَاهُ السَّاعَةَ فَوَقَعَ فَانْدَقَّتْ عُنُقُهُ اسْتَرَحْنَا مِنْهُ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُهُمْ تَقَدَّمْتُهُمْ، فَسِرْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَقْرَأُ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ: حُذَيْفَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: «ادْنُ» فَدَنَوْتُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا سَمِعْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَلْفَكَ مَا قَالُوا؟» قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؛ وَلِذَلِكَ سِرْتُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُمْ. قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ مُنافِقُونَ، فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ»
Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We said: "How did Hudhayfah attain what neither Sayyiduna Abu Bakr nor Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) attained?" Silah bin Zufar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: By Allah, we asked Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) about that, and he said: I was walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey one night. We travelled for part of the night, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dozed off on his mount. Some people said: "If we push him now, he will fall and his neck will break, and we will be rid of him." When I heard what they said, I went ahead of them and walked between them and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I began reciting a surah of the Qur'an. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up and asked: "Who is this?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am Hudhayfah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near." I came near, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you hear what these people behind you were saying?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah; that is why I walked between you and them." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Listen, they are hypocrites: so-and-so, so-and-so and so-and-so."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ , ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ , عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ: «خَيَّرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْهِجْرَةَ وَالنَّصْرَةَ فَاخْتَرْتُ النَّصْرَةَ»
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me the choice between Hijrah (emigration) and Nusrah (giving support without emigrating), and I chose Nusrah.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: أَخَذَنِي وَأَبِي الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَأَخَذُوا عَلَيْنَا عَهْدًا أَنْ لَا نُعِينَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «فُوا لَهُمْ، وَنَسْتَعِينُ اللهَ عَلَيْهِمْ»
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The polytheists seized me and my father on the day of Badr and took a pledge from us that we would not help the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfil your pledge to them, and we will seek Allah's help against them."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: «تُوُفِّيَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ»
Yahya bin Abdullah bin Bukayr narrates: Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the year 36 AH.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: «مَاتَ حُذَيْفَةُ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ» .
Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numayr said: Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the year 36 AH.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا مُصَرِّفُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْيَامِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ثنا مُجَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ: كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ أَمْرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرُ رَضِي اللهُ عَنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَامَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَسَمِعْتُ نَاسًا مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لَوْ طَرَحْنَاهُ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَانْدَقَّتْ عُنُقُهُ، فاسْتَرَحْنَا مِنْهُ. فَسِرْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ، وَجَعَلْتُ أَقْرَأُ وَأَرْفَعُ صَوْتِي، فَانْتَبَهَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: حُذَيْفَةُ. قَالَ: «مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟» قُلْتُ: فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ، حَتَّى عَدَدْتُهُمْ. قَالَ: «أَوَسَمِعْتَ مَا قَالُوا؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ؛ وَلِذَلِكَ سِرْتُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُمْ. قَالَ: «فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا - حَتَّى عَدَّ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ - مُنافِقُونَ، لَا تُخْبِرَنَّ أَحَدًا»
Silah bin Zufar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We said to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): How did you come to recognise the matter of the hypocrites, when not one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recognised it, neither Sayyiduna Abu Bakr nor Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)? He said: I was walking behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) fell asleep on his mount. Then I heard some people among them saying: If we throw him off his mount, his neck will break, and we will be rid of him. So I began walking between them and him (peace and blessings be upon him), and I began reciting the Qur'an in a loud voice, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up and asked: "Who is this?" I said: Hudhayfah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who were these people?" I said: So-and-so and so-and-so, until I had named them all. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you hear what they said?" I said: Yes, and that is exactly why I walked between you and them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Listen, so-and-so and so-and-so" (until he (peace and blessings be upon him) had named them) "are hypocrites. Do not tell anyone."
