حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير حدثنا أبو خالد يعني سليمان بن حيان :
عن سعد بن طارق عن ربعي عن حذيفة قال :
( كنا عند عمر فقال أيكم سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر الفتن
فقال : لعلكم تعنون فتنة الرجل في أهله وجاره
قالوا : أجل قال تلك تكفرها الصلاة والصيام والصدقة
ولكن أيكم سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر الفتن التي تموج موج البحر
فقلت أنا قال أنت لله أبوك
قال حذيفة سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول :
تعرض الفتن على القلوب كالحصير عودا عودا فأي قلب أشربها نكت فيه
نكتة سوداء وأي قلب أنكرها نكت فيه نكتة بيضاء حتى تصير على قلبين
على أبيض مثل الصفا فلا تضره فتنة ما دامت السماوات والأرض
والآخر أسود مربادا كالكوز مجخيا لا يعرف معروفا
ولا ينكر منكرا إلا ما أشرب من هواه (
كالكوز مجخيا : كالكأس منكسا مقلوبا
(It is narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa:
We were sitting in the company of Umar and he said:
Who amongst you has heard the Messenger of Allah
( may peace be upon him ) talking about the turmoil ?
Some people said: It is we who heard it. Upon this
be remarked: Perhaps by turmoil you presume the unrest
of man in regard to his household or neighbour, they replied:
Yes. He ( Umar ) observed: Such ( an unrest ) would be
done away with by prayer, fasting and charity.
But who amongst you has heard from the Apostle
( may peace be upon him ) describing that turmoil
which would come like the wave of the ocean.
Hudhaifa said: The people hushed into silence, I replied:
It is I. He ('Umar) said: Ye, well,
your father was also very pious. Hudhaifa said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah ( may peace be, upon him )
observing: Temptations will be presented to men's hearts
as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which
is impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it,
but any heart which rejects them will have a white mark put
in it. The result is that there will become two types of hearts:
one white like a white stone which will not be harmed by
any turmoil or temptation, so long as the heavens and the earth
endure; and the other black and dust-coloured like a vessel
which is turned upside down, not recognizing what is good
or rejecting what is abominable,
but being impregnated with passion )
