حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ هِنْدٍ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ الْفِرَاسِيَّةِ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتِ اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَزِعًا يَقُولُ " سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَاذَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْخَزَائِنِ وَمَاذَا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ، مَنْ يُوقِظُ صَوَاحِبَ الْحُجُرَاتِ ـ يُرِيدُ أَزْوَاجَهُ ـ لِكَىْ يُصَلِّينَ، رُبَّ كَاسِيَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا، عَارِيَةٍ فِي الآخِرَةِ ".
Umm Salamah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) woke up one night in a state of terror and said, "Subhan Allah, How many treasures Allah has sent down! And how many afflictions have been sent down! Who will go and wake the lady dwellers (wives of the Prophet) up of these rooms (for prayers)?" He meant his wives, so that they might pray. He added, "A well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter."

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 7069
This Hadith about night prayer during fitan shows the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم waking one night in a state of fear. He says Subhan Allah and mentions how many treasures Allah has sent down and how many afflictions have been sent down. He then asks who will wake the women of the rooms, meaning his wives, so they may pray. He also says that a well-dressed soul in this world may be naked in the Hereafter. The Hadith connects awareness of fitan with turning to prayer. It does not present clothing as the only issue; it uses the phrase as a serious warning about worldly appearance and the Hereafter. The simple lesson is to respond to fear, blessing, and trial with worship.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم responded to fear and fitan by calling to prayer.
- The Hadith mentions both treasures and afflictions being sent down.
- Worldly appearance does not guarantee safety in the Hereafter.
- Prayer is shown as a response when trials descend.
