حُذَيْفَةَ , أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلًا لَا يُتِمُّ رُكُوعًا وَلَا سُجُودًا ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ دَعَاهُ حُذَيْفَةُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ :
مُنْذُ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ ؟ قَالَ : قَدْ صَلَّيْتُهَا مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : مَا صَلَّيْتَ ، أَوْ قَالَ : مَا صَلَّيْتَ لِلَّهِ صَلَاةً ، شَكَّ مَهْدِيٌّ وَأَحْسِبهُ قَالَ : وَلَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Zaid bin Wahb narrates that once Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque and saw that near the doors of Kindah, a man was praying. He was not performing the bowing (ruku) and prostration (sajdah) properly. When he finished the prayer, Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Since when have you been praying like this?" He replied, "For forty years." Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have not prayed a single prayer in forty years, and if you were to depart from this world with this prayer, you would not die upon the nature (fitrah) which was granted to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

عَاصِمُ بنُ بهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ
زِرِّ بنِ حُبيْشٍ ، قَالَ : تَسَحَّرْتُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَمَرَرْتُ بمَنْزِلِ حُذَيْفَةَ بنِ الْيَمَانِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَأَمَرَ بلَقْحَةٍ فَحُلِبتْ ، وَبقِدْرٍ فَسُخِّنَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْنُ فَكُلْ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ ، فَأَكَلْنَا وَشَرِبنَا ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ
حُذَيْفَةُ :
هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ : أَبعْدَ الصُّبحِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، هُوَ الصُّبحُ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَمْ تَطْلُعْ الشَّمْسُ ، قَالَ : وَبيْنَ بيْتِ حُذَيْفَةَ وَبيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ كَمَا بيْنَ مَسْجِدِ ثَابتٍ وَبسْتَانِ حَوْطٍ ، وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا : وَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : هَكَذَا صَنَعْتُ مَعَ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَصَنَعَ بيَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Zirr bin Hubaish says that once I ate suhoor and set out towards the mosque. On the way, I passed by the house of Hazrat Hudhaifa bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), so I went there. He gave an order, so a goat was milked and the pot was boiled. Then he said, "Come close and start eating." I said, "I have already made the intention to fast." He said, "I also intend to fast." So we ate and drank, and when we reached the mosque, the prayer had already started. Then Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same with me." I asked, "After the true dawn?" He replied, "Yes! The morning had come, but the sun had not yet risen."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when speaking with my family, I could not control my tongue, although this did not happen with others. I mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hudhaifa! Why are you negligent of seeking forgiveness? I myself repent and seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times every day."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I stood in prayer at night with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited seven long surahs in seven rak'ahs, and after raising his head from bowing, he would say "Sami' Allahu liman hamidah," then say, "Alhamdulillah dhi al-malkut wal-jabarut wal-kibriya' wal-'azamah." And his bowing was as long as his standing, and his prostration was as long as his bowing. When the prayer was finished, my legs were close to breaking.

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that once I went out towards a village with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked for water, so a farmer brought water in a silver vessel. Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) struck the vessel on his face. We signaled to each other to remain silent, because if we had asked him, he would never have told us about it. So we remained silent. After a while, he himself said, "Do you know why I struck that vessel on his face?" We replied, "No." He said, "I had forbidden him before as well (but he did not refrain)." Then he told us that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not drink from gold and silver vessels, and do not wear silk and brocade, for these things are for the disbelievers in this world and for you in the Hereafter."

The disbelievers of Quraysh captured us and said, "Are you going to Muhammad (peace be upon him)?" We said, "Our intention is only to go to Madinah." They took a promise and a strong oath from us that after reaching Madinah, we would not participate in fighting alongside him. We reached the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him of the entire matter. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Both of you return; we will fulfill their promise and seek help from Allah against them."

He tried to put his hand into the food, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) caught his hand as well and said: When the name of Allah is not mentioned over the food, Satan considers it lawful for himself. So, at first, he came with this slave girl to make the food lawful for himself, but I caught her hand. Then he came with this Bedouin to make the food lawful for himself through him, but I caught his hand as well. Therefore, eat after reciting Bismillah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people came from Najran and said, "Please send with us a trustworthy man." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "I will send with you such a trustworthy man who truly deserves to be called trustworthy." Upon hearing this, the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) started raising their heads and looking around. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) with them.

Jundub says that on the occasion of "Yawm al-Jar‘ah," there was a man present who said, "By Allah, today there will be bloodshed." Another man swore an oath and said, "Never!" The first said, "Why did you not say, 'Certainly'?" He replied, "Such a thing will never happen because this is a hadith which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrated to me." The first man says, "I said to him, 'By Allah, I consider you a bad companion. You are hearing me swear an oath and yet you do not stop me, even though you have heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say something about this?' Then I thought, what is the benefit of getting angry? So I swallowed my anger and came to him and began to ask questions. Later I found out that he was Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Hadith 23389
Tha’labah bin Zahdam says that once we were in Tabaristan with Hazrat Sa’eed bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked the people, “Who among you has performed the Salat al-Khawf (prayer of fear) with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?” Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, “I have, and it was like this: the people formed two rows behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). One row stood facing the enemy, and one row stood behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) for prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led those people in one rak’ah, then they retreated backwards to the place of those who were standing in front of the enemy, and those people came and stood behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in their place. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the second rak’ah and then concluded the prayer with salam.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I prayed with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began Surah Al-Baqarah. When he reached one hundred verses, I thought that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would now bow (ruku‘), but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued reciting until he reached two hundred verses. I thought that perhaps now he would bow, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued reciting until he completed it. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began Surah An-Nisa’ and, after reciting it, performed ruku‘. In his ruku‘, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying "Subhana Rabbiyal ‘Azim" and in his prostration "Subhana Rabbiyal A‘la". Whenever he passed by a verse of mercy, he would pause and supplicate, and whenever he passed by a verse of punishment, he would pause and seek refuge from it.
