حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ ، ويحيى بن محمد اللؤلئي وألفاظهم متقاربة ، قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شَيْءٌ ، فَخَطَبَ ، فَقَالَ : " عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ، وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا ، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا " ، قَالَ : فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ ، قَالَ : غَطَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ خَنِينٌ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَ : رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَبِي ، قَالَ : أَبُوكَ فُلَانٌ ، فَنَزَلَتْ : يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ سورة المائدة آية 101 .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that something was conveyed to him (the Holy prophet) about his Companions, so he addressed them and said: Paradise and Hell were presented to me and I have never seen the good and evil as (I did) today. And if you were to know you would have wept more and laughed less. He (the narrator) said: There was nothing more burdensome for the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) than this. They covered their heads and the sound of weeping was heard from them. Then there stood up 'Umar and he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as our Apostle, and it was at that time that a person stood up and he said: Who is my father? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Your father is so and so; and there was revealed the verse: "O you who believe, do not ask about matters which, if they were to be made manifest to you (in terms of law), might cause to you harm" (v. 101).

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him stood when the sun had passed the meridian and he led the noon prayer and after observing salutations (completing the prayer) he stood upon the pulpit and talked about the Last Hour and made a mention of the important facts prior to it and then said: He who desires to ask anything from me let him ask me about it. By Allah, I shall not move from this place so long as I do not inform you about that which you ask. Anas bin Malik (RA) said: People began to shed tears profusely when they heard this from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said it repeatedly: You ask me. Thereupon 'Abdullah bin Hudhafa stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, who is my father? He said: Your father is Hudhafa, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said repeatedly: Ask me, and (it was at this juncture that 'Umar knelt down and said): We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as the Messenger (of Allah). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept quiet so long as 'Umar spoke. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: (The Doom) is near; by Him, in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, there was presented to me the Paradise and Hell in the nook of this enclosure, and I did not see good and evil like that of the present day. Ibn Shihab reported: Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utba told me that the mother of 'Abdullah bin Hudhafa told 'Abdullah bin Hudhafa: I have never heard of a son more disobedient than you. Do you feel yourself immune from the fact that your mother committed a sin which the women in the pre-Islamic period committed and then you disgrace her in the eyes of the people? 'Abdullah bin Hudhafa said: If my fatherhood were to be attributed to a black slave I would have connected myself with him.

Hadith 2359
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَأَلُوا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ ، فَخَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ ، فَقَالَ : سَلُونِي ، لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمُ أَرَمُّوا ، وَرَهِبُوا ، أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ حَضَرَ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَلْتَفِتُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ، فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لَافٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي ، فَأَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ، كَانَ يُلَاحَى ، فَيُدْعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الْفِتَنِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ، إِنِّي صُوِّرَتْ لِي الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ ، فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا دُونَ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the people asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) until he was hard pressed. He went out one day and he occupied the pulpit and said: Ask me and I shall leave no question of yours unanswered for you, and when the people heard about it they were overawed, as if (something tragic) was going to happen. Anas said: I began to look towards the right and the left and (found) that every person was weeping wrapping his head with the cloth. Then a person in the mosque broke the ice and they used to dispute with him by attributing his fatherhood to another man than his own father. He said: Allah's Apostle, who is my father? He said: Your father is Hudhafa. Then 'Umar bin Khattab (RA) dared say something and said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as our Messenger, seeking refuge with Allah from the evil of Turmoil. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Never did I see the good and evil as today. Paradise and Hell were given a visible shape before me (in this worldly life) and I saw both of them near this well.

Abu Musa reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was asked such things which he disapproved and when they persisted on asking him he felt enraged and then said to the people: Ask me what you wish to ask. Thereupon a person said: Who is my father? He said: Your father is Hudhafa. Then another person stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, who is my father? He said: Your father is Salim, the freed slave of Shaiba. When 'Umar saw the signs of anger upon the face of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , he said: Allah's Messenger, we ask repentance from Allah. And in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Kuraib (the words are): "Allah's Messenger, who is my father? He said: Your father is Salim, the freed slave of Shaiba."
