Hadith 2750
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّيْمِيُّ ، وَقَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ مِنْ كُتَّابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : لَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ ؟ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ ؟ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : نَكُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْيُ عَيْنٍ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَافَسْنَا الْأَزْوَاجَ وَالْأَوْلَادَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ ، فَنَسِينَا كَثِيرًا ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَلْقَى مِثْلَ هَذَا ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قُلْتُ : نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ تُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْيُ عَيْنٍ ، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ عَافَسْنَا الْأَزْوَاجَ وَالْأَوْلَادَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ نَسِينَا كَثِيرًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ لَوْ تَدُومُونَ عَلَى مَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي ، وَفِي الذِّكْرِ لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَفِي طُرُقِكُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ " .
Hanzala Usayyidi, who was amongst the scribes of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reported: I met Abu Bakr. He said: Who are you? He (Hanzala) said: Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. He (Abu Bakr) said: Hallowed be Allah, what are you saying? Thereupon he said: I say that when we are in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we ponder over Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we attend to our wives, our children, our business; most of these things (pertaining to After-life) slip out of our minds. Abu Bakr (RA) said: By Allah, I also experience the same. So I and Abu Bakr (RA) went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said to him: Allah's Messenger, Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: What has happened to you? I said: Allah's Messenger, when we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from you and attend to our wives, children and business, much of these things go out of our minds. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala, time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Holy Prophet) said this thrice.
Hadith 2750
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَوَعَظَنَا فَذَكَّرَ النَّارَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَضَاحَكْتُ الصِّبْيَانَ وَلَاعَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا تَذْكُرُ ، فَلَقِينَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ ، فَقَالَ : مَهْ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِالْحَدِيثِ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ ، فَقَالَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ : " سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً وَلَوْ كَانَتْ تَكُونُ قُلُوبُكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الذِّكْرِ لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى تُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الطُّرُقِ " ،
Hanzala reported: We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he delivered to us a sermon and made a mention of Hell-Fire. Then I came to my house and began to laugh with my children and sport with my wife. (Hanzala) further reported: I went out and met Abu Bakr (RA) and made a mention of that to him. Thereupon he said: I have done the same as you have mentioned. So we went to see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said to him: Allah's Messenger, Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. And he (the Holy Prophet) said show respite. And then I narrated to him the story, and Abu Bakr (RA) said: I have done the same as he has done. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Hanzala, there is a time for worldly affairs and a time for worship and devotion, and if your state of mind is always the same as it is at the time of remembrance of Allah, the Angels would shake hands with you and would greet you on the path by saying: As-Salamu-Alaikum.
Hadith 2750
حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ التَّمِيمِيِّ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ الْكَاتِبِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَّرَنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمَا .
Hanzala Taimi Ufayyidi, the scribe of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , reported: We were in the presence of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he brought to our minds the problems pertaining to Paradise and Hell-Fire. The rest of the hadith is the same.
