Hadith 1926
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ ؟ أَهُمَا الْخَيْطَانِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّكَ لَعَرِيضُ الْقَفَا ، أَرَأَيْتَ أَبْصَرْتَ الْخَيْطَيْنِ قَطُّ " ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لا بَلْ هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ "
Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what is meant by the black thread and the white thread? Are these two threads?” He (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed, you are broad-necked.” Tell me, have you ever seen two threads? Then he said: “No, rather what is meant is the darkness of the night and the whiteness of the day.”
