حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ التَّمِيمِيِّ الْأُسَيِّدِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَذَكَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ،‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي كُنَّا فِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَافَقْتُ نَافَقْتُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَذَهَبَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ،‏‏‏‏ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ أَوْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً .

“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we spoke of Paradise and Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went to my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then I remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do that.’” So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: “O Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O Hanzalah, there is a time for this and a time for that.”
