حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ كُتَّابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا لَكَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ ؟ قَالَ : نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ نَكُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ كَأَنَّا رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ فَإِذَا رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْأَزْوَاجِ وَالضَّيْعَةِ نَسِينَا كَثِيرًا ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَكَذَلِكَ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : مَا لَكَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ ؟ قَالَ : نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ تُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ كَأَنَّا رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ فَإِذَا رَجَعْنَا عَافَسْنَا الْأَزْوَاجَ وَالضَّيْعَةَ وَنَسِينَا كَثِيرًا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَوْ تَدُومُونَ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّذِي تَقُومُونَ بِهَا مِنْ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي مَجَالِسِكُمْ وَفِي طُرُقِكُمْ وَعَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ ، وَلَكِنْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Abu 'Uthman narrated from Hanzalah Al-Usaidi – and he was one of the scribes of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)- that he passed by Abu Bakr while he was crying, so he(Abu Bakr) said to him:` “What is wrong with you, O Hanzalah?” He replied: “Hanzalah has become a hypocrite O Abu Bakr! When we are with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) we remember the Fire and Paradise as if we are looking at them with the naked eye. But when we return we busy ourselves with our wives and livelihood and we forget so much.” He(Abu Bakr) said: “By Allah! The same thing happens to me. Let us go to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).” (Hanzalah said:) “So he went." When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saw him, he said: “What is wrong with you O Hanzalah?” He said: “Hanzalah has become a hypocrite O Messenger of Allah! When we are with you we remember the Fire and Paradise as if we can see them with the naked eye. But when we return we are busy with our wives and livelihood, and we forget so much.” He said: “So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If you were to abide in the state that you are in when you are with me, then the Angels would shake hands with you in your gatherings, and upon your bedding, and in your paths. But O Hanzalah! There is a time for this and a time for that.'” (Sahih)

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
In this hadith, the asceticism, piety, and God-consciousness (taqwa) of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) are mentioned.
It is understood from this that a person's state and condition are not always the same,
rather, they continue to change.
Therefore, whenever a person becomes heedless, he should engage abundantly in the remembrance of Allah,
and the state in which heedlessness overcomes him should not be considered as hypocrisy (nifaq),
because it is not possible for a person to always obligate himself to remain in the same state and condition.
Furthermore, it is also understood from this that even the faith (iman) of a single individual fluctuates from time to time, increasing and decreasing.
Note:
(For a corroborating narration (shahid) of this hadith, see: 2526)

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
‘Aafasna:
We mingle,
become occupied,
al-dhiyā‘āt,
Plural of dhiy‘ah,
estate,
land or business.
Benefits and Issues:
The duty and task of the angels is to remain constantly engaged in remembrance and contemplation without any laziness or weakness, and the duty and task of Satan is to be constantly engaged in evil and corruption. As for humans, sometimes they are engaged in remembrance and contemplation, and at other times they spend time in fulfilling the necessities of life.
It is not possible for them to remain engaged in remembrance and contemplation at all times.
Therefore, not remaining in the same state and condition at all times
is not hypocrisy (nifaq).
Being occupied with the affairs of life is also a natural and innate demand for him.
Rather, keeping in view the divine instructions in the matters of life is also remembrance (dhikr).
However, while acquiring the means of livelihood, it is necessary to avoid disobedience to Allah.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) were extremely cautious regarding their faith and the states of their hearts, and they feared that due to some unintentional mistake, their ranks might be diminished.
➋ The states of the heart continue to change.
➌ Fulfilling the rights of one's wife and children, and being engaged in worldly matters within the bounds of the Shari'ah, is something that is legislatively required.
➍ Man has been declared superior to the angels (in certain respects). The reason for this is that man is surrounded by such circumstances that distract him from Allah, yet despite this, he remembers Allah and worships Him.
