حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ الْمَسْئَلَةَ، فَغَضِبَ، فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، فَقَالَ: لَا تَسْأَلُونِي الْيَوْمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَاّ بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ فَجَعَلتُ أَنْظُرُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لَافٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ كَانَ إِذَا لَاحَى الرِّجَالَ يُدْعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبِي قَالَ: حُذَافَةُ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَسُولًا، نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ، إِنَّهُ صُوِّرَتْ لِي الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُمَا وَرَاءَ الْحَائِطِ.
Anas Narrated from:
Once the people started asking Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم questions, and they asked so many questions that he became angry and ascended the pulpit and said, "I will answer whatever questions you may ask me today," I looked right and left and saw everyone covering his face with his garment and weeping.Behold! There was a man who, on quarrelling with the people, used to be called, as a son of a person other than his father. He said, "O Allâh's Messenger! Who is my father?" The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." And then 'Umar got up and said, "We accept Allâh as (our) Lord, and Islâm as (our) religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as (our) Messenger; and we seek refuge with Allâh from the Al-Fitn (trial and afflictions etc.).Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I have never seen a day like today in its good and its evil, for Paradise and the Hell-Fire were displayed in front of me, till I saw them just beyond this wall." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 373, Vol. 8 )
