The words of Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him)

It is narrated from Abu Abd al-Rahman that he said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood in al-Mada'in. He delivered a sermon, praised and glorified Allah Almighty, and then said: "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split" [Al-Qamar: 1]. Beware! The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split. Beware! The world has announced its departure. Beware! Today is the racetrack and tomorrow is the race. The end is Hell, and the one who truly gets ahead is he who gets ahead to Paradise.

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is enough knowledge for the believer that he fears Allah, and it is enough of a lie for him that he says "Astaghfirullah" (I seek forgiveness from Allah) and then goes back to doing the same thing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: People will be gathered in one place in such a way that the eye will see through them all and the caller will make them hear, and the announcer will call out: O Muhammad! (before the first and the last). He (peace and blessings be upon him) will say in reply: "Here I am. Good is in Your hand and evil is not attributed to You. The rightly guided is only the one whom You have guided. You are blessed and exalted." Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is the Praised Station.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he would enter the mosque, stand by the circles and say: O assembly of Qur'an reciters, keep to the (straight) path. If you stay on the path, you will get far ahead; and if you take the (path to the) right or left, you will go far astray.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I would like there to be a man guarding my wealth, and then for the door to be closed on me, with no one coming to me until I meet Allah Almighty.

It is narrated from Khalid bin Rabi' al-Absi that he said: When news of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah's (may Allah be pleased with him) illness reached us, a group from Banu Abs went to him, and a group from the Ansar went, and Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was with us. The narrator said: We reached him during part of the night. He asked: What time is this? We said: It is such and such a time. He said: I seek refuge with Allah from a morning that leads to Hell. Have you brought a shroud with you for me? We said: Yes. He said: Do not make my shroud expensive, for if there is good for your companion with Allah, he will receive a better shroud in exchange for it; otherwise, this too will soon be stripped away.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Indeed there is a reckoning in the grave, and there will be punishment on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Qays that he said: When his shroud was brought to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: If your brother attains good, then very well. Otherwise, the sides of the grave will keep throwing him to one another until the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding "For those who do good there is the best reward and more" [Yunus: 26], that he said: Seeing the Face of Allah Almighty is what is meant.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There were many days on which, had death come to me, I would have had no doubt. But as for today, many things have become mixed in, such that I do not know where I stand among them.

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) also gave counsel to Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: Hold fast to what you know, and beware of wavering in the religion of Allah.

It is narrated from Abd al-Aziz, a nephew of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), that he heard it from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) forty-five years ago. He said: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The first thing of your religion that you will lose is humility, and the last thing of your religion that you will lose is the prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jundub bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked permission to enter upon Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) three times, but he did not give me permission, so I turned back. Then suddenly his messenger came to me (and brought me). He asked me: What made you go back? I answered: I assumed that you would be asleep. He said: I do not sleep until I have seen where the sun rises.

The narrator said: I mentioned this to Muhammad (bin Sirin), and he said: More than one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this.
