حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيُّكُمْ يَحْفَظُ حَدِيثَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ لَجَرِيءٌ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ فِتْنَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَجَارِهِ،‏‏‏‏ تُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْأَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ،‏‏‏‏ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَ هَذَا أُرِيدُ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ كَمَوْجِ الْبَحْرِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكَ وَلَهَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بَابًا مُغْلَقًا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَيُكْسَرُ الْبَابُ أَوْ يُفْتَحُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا بَلْ يُكْسَرُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ذَاكَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا يُغْلَقَ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا لِحُذَيْفَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَعْلَمُ مَنِ الْبَابُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ كَمَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ دُونَ غَدٍ اللَّيْلَةَ،‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي حَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ،‏‏‏‏ فَهِبْنَا أَنْ نَسْأَلَهُ مَنِ الْبَابُ فَقُلْنَا لِمَسْرُوقٍ:‏‏‏‏ سَلْهُ فَسَأَلَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عُمَرُ.

“We were sitting with ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ and he said: ‘Which of you has remembered a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) concerning Fitnah?’” Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ said: “I said: ‘I have.’ He said: ‘You are very bold.’ He said: ‘How?’ He said: ‘I heard him say: “The fitnah of a man with regard to his family, his children and his neigbours are expiated by his prayers, fasts, charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.” ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: ‘This is not what I meant, rather I meant that which moves like the waves of the sea.’” Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ said: “Don’t worry about it, O Commander of the Believers! For there is a closed door between you and them.” ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: “Will that door be broken or opened?” I said: “No, it will be broken.” ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: “Then it will never be closed.’” We asked Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ: “Did ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ know what that door meant?” He said: Yes, just as he knows that there will be night before morning, because I narrated to him a Hadith in which there are no errors.” We were afraid to ask him who the door was, so we said to Masruq: “Ask him. He said: “‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہ.”
