Hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (RA) from the Prophet (SAW)

حديث حذيفة بن اليمان (1) عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 1034:89

Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us, Isra'il narrated to us, from Maysarah ibn Habib, from al-Minhal ibn 'Amr, from Zirr ibn Hubaysh, from Hudhayfah, who said: My mother asked me: "How long has it been since you last saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?" I said to her: "It has been such and such a time." He said: She scolded me and insulted me. I said to her: "Leave me, for I am going to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to pray Maghrib with him, and then I will not leave him until he asks for forgiveness for me and for you." He said: So I came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and prayed Maghrib with him. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, then prayed until Isha. Then he turned away, and I followed him. An obstacle appeared before him, and he spoke privately with it. Then it went away, and I followed it. He heard my voice and said: "Who is this?" I said: "Hudhayfah." He said: "What is the matter with you?" I told him about the situation, and he said: "May Allah forgive you and your mother." Then he said: "Did you see the obstacle that appeared before me just now?" I said: "Yes." He said: "It was an angel from the angels who had never descended to the earth before this night. He asked his Lord for permission to greet me and to give me the glad tidings that al-Hasan and al-Husayn are the masters of the youth of the people of Paradise, and that Fatimah is the mistress of the women of the people of Paradise."

حدثنا حسين بن محمد، حدثنا إسرائيل، عن ميسرة بن حبيب، عن المنهال بن عمرو، عن زر بن حبيش، عن حذيفة قال: سألتني أمي: منذ متى عهدك بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قال: فقلت لها: منذ كذا وكذا، قال: فنالت مني وسبتني، قال: فقلت لها: دعيني، فإني آتي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأصلي معه المغرب، ثم لا أدعه حتى يستغفر لي ولك، قال: فأتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فصليت معه المغرب، فصلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم [إلى] العشاء، ثم انفتل فتبعته، فعرض له عارض فناجاه، ثم ذهب فاتبعته فسمع صوتي فقال: " من هذا؟ "، فقلت: حذيفة، قال: " ما لك؟ "، فحدثته بالأمر، فقال: " غفر الله لك ولأمك "، ثم قال: " أما رأيت العارض الذي عرض لي قبيل؟ "، قال: قلت: بلى، قال: " فهو ملك من الملائكة لم يهبط الأرض قط قبل هذه الليلة، استأذن ربه أن يسلم علي، ويبشرني أن الحسن، والحسين سيدا شباب أهل الجنة، وأن فاطمة سيدة نساء أهل الجنة "
