[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he was on the expedition of Tabuk, dismounted from his ride and he was inspired, and his ride became blessed as it pulled its reins until Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman met it and took hold of its reins and led it until he saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sitting. And he released it and sat beside him until the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , stood up and came to him and said, "Who is this?" Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman said, "It is Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, I have news for you that I have been ordered not to mention. I have been forbidden from praying upon so-and-so and so-and-so, a group of hypocrites, to anyone except Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman." When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passed away, during the caliphate of Umar bin Al-Khattab, whenever a man thought that he was from those hypocrites, Umar would take Hudhayfah's hand and lead him to pray over the deceased. If Hudhayfah walked with him, he would pray over the deceased, and if Hudhayfah resisted and refused to walk with him, Umar would leave with him and would not pray over the deceased. And Umar ordered that prayers should be offered over him.

[Machine] Hudhayfah said, "The Prophet ﷺ was traveling to Tabuk, and he got off his riding animal to receive revelation. I took hold of the reins and guided it until he finished receiving revelation. Then, the Prophet ﷺ stood up and approached his camel. He asked, 'Who is this?' I replied, 'Hudhayfah bin Yamamah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I have something to tell you secretly, never to be disclosed to anyone. I have been prohibited from praying for so-and-so and so-and-so, who are hypocrites and belong to a certain group.' When the Prophet ﷺ passed away and Umar succeeded him, whenever a companion of the Prophet ﷺ would die and Umar suspected that he belonged to that group, he would take Hudhayfah by the hand and lead him to the deceased. If Hudhayfah walked along, Umar would offer the funeral prayer. But if Hudhayfah held back, Umar would not offer the funeral prayer. Umar instructed that the one who offers the funeral prayer for this person should consider himself authorized, although the hadith had been conveyed through another chain of narration."
