Hadith 23432

حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا بكَّارٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي خَلَّادُ بنُ عَبدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبا الطُّفَيْلِ يُحَدِّثُ , أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُذَيْفَةَ بنَ الْيَمَانٍِ ، يَقُولُ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي ؟ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ ، وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ بعَثَ نَبيَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ ، فَدَعَا النَّاسَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ ، وَمِنْ الضَّلَالَةِ إِلَى الْهُدَى ، فَاسْتَجَاب لَه مَنْ اسْتَجَاب ، فَحَيَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَا كَانَ مَيْتًا ، وَمَاتَ مِنَ الْباطِلِ مَا كَانَ حَيًّا ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبتْ النُّبوَّةُ ، فَكَانَتْ الْخِلَافَةُ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبوَّةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he said, "O people! Why do you not ask me questions? People used to ask the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about good, and I used to ask about evil. Indeed, Allah Almighty sent His Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he invited people from disbelief to faith, called them from misguidance to guidance. Whoever was to accept his words, accepted this invitation, and by the blessing of truth, dead things became alive, and by the misfortune of falsehood, even living things became dead. Then the era of Prophethood ended, and the Caliphate upon the way of Prophethood was established."
