Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Shahr bin Hawshab that he said: Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood and his companions were sitting, and their voices became loud. The narrator said: Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said, "O Ibn Umm Abd, what are these voices?" He replied, "O Abu Abdullah, they started mentioning Dajjal and we became afraid." Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, I do not care whether I meet him or the black kid of a goat." Abdul Malik, the narrator, says: He referred to the kid of a goat that was eating date stones in one corner of the mosque. The narrator said: Hazrat Abdullah said to Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him), "Why? What is the virtue from Allah for your father?" Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "We are believers and he is a disbelieving man, and surely Allah the Exalted will grant us help and success against him. And by Allah, he will not emerge until his emergence will be more beloved to a Muslim man than the coolness of a drink in thirst." Hazrat Abdullah asked, "For what reason is there virtue from Allah for your father?" Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Because of the severity of tribulations and the calamities of evil."
