Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40075 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Isma'il that he said: A man who used to sell food told us: When Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Jukha, he came to Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and greeted him. Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud asked: "What is the matter with this sword of yours, O Abu Abdullah?" He said: "Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) has appointed me governor over Jukha." He said: "O Abu Abdullah, do you fear that this may be a tribulation, now that the people have expelled Sayyiduna Sa'id bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him)?" Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Do you not know your religion, O Abu Mas'ud?" He said: "Of course." Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then indeed, tribulation will not harm you as long as you know your religion. Tribulation is only when truth and falsehood become confused for you and you do not know which of the two to follow. That is the tribulation."
