I came to ʿAisha while she was praying, and said to her, "What has happened to the people?" She pointed out towards the sky. (I looked towards the mosque), and saw the people offering the prayer. Aisha said, "Subhan Allah." I said to her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, "Yes." I, too, then stood (for the prayer of eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ praised and glorified Allah and then said, "Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masih-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be asked, 'What do you know about this man (the Prophet ﷺ Muhammad)?' Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is Muhammad Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him, 'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said it.' (the same). "

I came to ʿAisha the wife of the Prophet ﷺ during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, "What is wrong with the people?" She beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said, "Subhan Allah." I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She pointed out, "Yes." So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised and glorified Allah and said, "Just now I have seen something which I never saw before at this place of mine, including Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood) that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Ad-Dajjal, or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will come to every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad, Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So we accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to sleep in peace as they have come to know that he was a believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know but heard the people saying something and so I said the same.' "

I asked her, 'What has happened to the people?' She pointed out with her hand towards the sky and said, 'Subhan-Allah'. I said, 'Is there a sign?' She pointed out in the affirmative."

I heard the people saying something so I said it (the same).' "  

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ ؓ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ وَإِذَا هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ فَأَشَارَتْ أَىْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى تَجَلاَّنِي الْغَشْىُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا وَاتَّبَعْنَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ صَالِحًا فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمُوقِنًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ  

Asma' bint Abi Bakr As-Siddiq said, "I went to 'Aishah and the people were offering Salat. I asked her, 'What is wrong with the people ?' She pointed towards the sky with her head. I asked her, 'Is there a sign ?' 'Aishah nodded with her head meaning 'Yes'." Asma' added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ prolonged the Salat to such an extent that I fainted. There was a waterskin by my side and I opened it and poured some water on my head. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished Salat, and the solar eclipse had cleared, the Prophet ﷺ addressed the people and praised Allah as He deserves and said, 'Amma ba'du'." Asma' further said, "Some Ansari women started talking, so I turned to them in order to make them quiet. I asked 'Aishah what the Prophet ﷺ had said. 'Aishah said: 'He said, 'I have seen things at this place of mine which were never shown to me before; (I have seen) even Paradise and Hell. And, no doubt it has been revealed to me that you (people) will be put in trial in your graves like or nearly like the trial of Masih Ad-Dajjal. (The angels) will come to everyone of you and ask him, 'What do you know about this man (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) ?" The faithful believer or firm believer (Hisham was in doubt which word the Prophet ﷺ used), will say, 'He is Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he is Muhammad ﷺ who came to us with clear evidences and guidance. So we believed him, accepted his teachings and followed and trusted his teaching.' Then the angels will tell him to sleep (in peace) as they have come to know that he was a believer. But the hypocrite or a doubtful person (Hisham is not sure as to which word the Prophet ﷺ used), will be asked what he knew about this man (Prophet Muhammed ﷺ). He will say, 'I do not know but I heard the people saying something (about him) so I said the same' " Hisham added, "Fatima told me that she remembered that narration completely by heart except that she said about the hypocrite or a doubtful person that he will be punished severely."

I came to ʿAisha during the solar eclipse. The people were standing (offering prayer) and she too, was standing and offering prayer. I asked, "What is wrong with the people?" She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, Subhan Allah!'' I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, yes. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished (the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and said, "There is not anything that I have not seen before but I have seen now at this place of mine, even Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me that you people will be put to trial nearly like the trial of Ad-Dajjal, in your graves. As for the true believer or a Muslim (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which of the two (words Asma' had said) he will say, 'Muhammad came with clear signs from Allah, and we responded to him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what he said)' It will be said (to him) 'Sleep in peace; we have known that you were a true believer who believed with certainty.' As for a hypocrite or a doubtful person, (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which word Asma' said) he will say, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said the same.' "

The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As I went to 'A'isha who was busy in prayer. I said: What is the matter with the people that they are praying (a special prayer)? She ('A'isha) pointed towards the sky with her head. I said: Is it (an unusual) sign? She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for prayer for such a long time that I was about to faint. I caught hold of a waterskin lying by my side, and began to pour water over my head, or (began to sprinkle water) on my face. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished and the sun had brightened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then addressed the people, (after) praising Allah and lauding Him, and then said: There was no such thing as I did not see earlier, but I saw it at this very place of mine. I ever saw Paradise and Hell. It was also revealed to me that you would be tried in the graves, as you would he tried something like the turmoil of the Dajjal. Asma' said: I do not know which word he actually used (qariban or mithl), and each one of you would be brought and it would be said: What is your knowledge about this man? If the person is a believer, (Asma' said: I do not know whether it was the word al-Mu'min or al-Mu'qin) he would say: He is Muhammad and he is the Messenger of Allah. He brought to us the clear signs and right guidance. So we responded and obeyed him. (He would repeat this three times), and it would be said to him: You should go to sleep. We already knew that you are a believer in him. So the pious man would go to sleep. So far as the hypocrite or sceptic is concerned (Asma' said: I do not know which word was that: al-Munafiq (hypocrite) or al-Murtad (doubtful) he would say: I do not know. I only uttered whatever I heard people say.  

خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يُصَلُّونَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقِيَامَ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلاَّنِي الْغَشْىُ فَأَخَذْتُ قِرْبَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي أَوْ عَلَى وَجْهِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ قَالَتْ فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَرِيبًا أَوْ مِثْلَ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ لَتُؤْمِنُ بِهِ فَنَمْ صَالِحًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from Fatima bint al Mundhir that Asma bint Abi Bakr as-Siddiq said, "I went to A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ during an eclipse of the sun, and everybody was standing in prayer, and she too was standing praying. I said, 'What is everybody doing?' She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, 'Glory be to Allah.' I said, 'A sign?' She nodded 'Yes' with her head." She continued, "I stood until I had almost fainted, and I began to pour water over my head. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised Allah and spoke well of Him, and then said, 'There is nothing which I had previously not seen beforehand that I have not now seen while standing - even the Garden and the Fire. It has been revealed to me that you will be tried in your graves with a trial, like, or near to, the trial of the Dajjal (I do not know which one Asma said). Every one of you will have someone who comes to him and asks him, 'What do you know about this man?' A mumin, or one who has certainty (muqin) (I do not know which one Asma said), will say, 'He is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who came to us with clear proofs and guidance, and we answered and believed and followed.' He will then be told, 'Sleep in a good state. We know now that you were a mumin.' A hypocrite, however, or one who has doubts (l do not know which one Asma said), will say, 'I do not know, I heard everybody saying something and I said it.' "  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ وَإِذَا هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى تَجَلاَّنِي الْغَشْىُ وَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا وَاتَّبَعْنَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ صَالِحًا قَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمُؤْمِنًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ  

[Machine] From some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , they said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to them one morning, with a pleasant smell and a radiant face. We said, "O Prophet of Allah, we see you with a pleasant smell and a radiant face." He said, "What prevents me? Allah came to me tonight in the best form and said, 'O Muhammad, I said '[Here I am], my Lord, at Your service and pleasure.' He said, 'What is the dispute of the highest assembly?' I said, 'I do not know which Lord.' He said, 'That's twice or three times.' He then placed his hands between my shoulders and I felt its coolness between my chest until it became clear to me what is in the heavens and on earth. Then he recited this verse, 'Thus We show Abraham the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that he might be among the certain.' Then he said, 'O Muhammad, what is the dispute of the highest assembly?' I said, 'In performing the expiations.' He said, 'What are the expiations?' I said, 'Walking to the congregational prayer, sitting in the mosque after the prayer, contrary to the disliked acts, and perfecting the ablution in disliked conditions.' He said, 'Whoever does that, they live and die in goodness, and their sins are as if they were born that day. And among the ranks is good speech, giving greetings, feeding the hungry, and praying at night while people are asleep.' He said, 'O Muhammad, when you pray, say, 'O Allah, I ask You for what is good and to leave that which is evil, and to love the poor, and for You to forgive me. And when you desire affliction for the people, then take me before it touches me.'  

عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ وَهُوَ طَيِّبُ النَّفْسِ مُسْفِرُ الْوَجْهِ أَوْ مُشْرِقُ الْوَجْهِ قُلْنَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ مُسْفِرَ الْوَجْهِ أَوْ مُشْرِقَ الْوَجْهِ فَقَالَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُنِي وَأَتَانِي رَبِّي ﷻ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَبِّي وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيْ رَبِّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ فَوَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيَّ حَتَّى تَجَلَّى لِي مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَكَذَلِكَ نُرِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ} ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي الْكَفَّارَاتِ قَالَ وَمَا الْكَفَّارَاتُ؟ قُلْتُ الْمَشْيُ عَلَى الْأَقْدَامِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَاتِ وَالْجُلُوسُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خِلَافَ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَإِبْلَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ فِي الْمَكَارِهِ قَالَ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ عَاشَ بِخَيْرٍ وَمَاتَ بِخَيْرٍ وَكَانَمِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَمِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ طِيبُ الْكَلَامِ وَبَذْلُ السَّلَامِ وَإِطْعَامُ الطَّعَامِ وَالصَّلَاةُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَقُلْ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَأَنْ تَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةً فِي النَّاسِ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ  

The sun eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. As I went to 'A'isha who was busy in prayer. I said: What is the matter with the people that they are praying (a special prayer)? She ('A'isha) pointed towards the sky with her head. I said: Is it (an unusual) sign? She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for prayer for such a long time that I was about to faint. I caught hold of a waterskin lying by my side, and began to pour water over my head, or (began to sprinkle water) on my face. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then finished and the sun had brightened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then addressed the people, (after) praising Allah and lauding Him, and then said: There was no such thing as I did not see earlier, but I saw it at this very place of mine. I ever saw Paradise and Hell. It was also revealed to me that you would be tried in the graves, as you would he tried something like the turmoil of the Dajjal. Asma' said: I do not know which word he actually used (qariban or mithl), and each one of you would be brought and it would be said: What is your knowledge about this man? If the person is a believer, (Asma' said: I do not know whether it was the word al-Mu'min or al-Mu'qin) he would say: He is Muhammad and he is the Messenger of Allah. He brought to us the clear signs and right guidance. So we responded and obeyed him. (He would repeat this three times), and it would be said to him: You should go to sleep. We already knew that you are a believer in him. So the pious man would go to sleep. So far as the hypocrite or sceptic is concerned (Asma' said: I do not know which word was that: al-Munafiq (hypocrite) or al-Murtad (doubtful) he would say: I do not know. I only uttered whatever I heard people say. (Using translation from Muslim 905a)  

خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يُصَلُّونَ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَأَطَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِيَامَ جِدًّا حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ فَأَخَذْتُ قِرْبَةً إِلَى جَنْبِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَرِيبًا أَوْمِثْلَ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ قَدْ كُنَّا نَعْلَمُ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَتُؤْمِنُ بِهِ فَنَمْ صَالِحًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ  

I came to ʿAisha the wife of the Prophet ﷺ during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, "What is wrong with the people?" She beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said, "Subhan Allah." I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She pointed out, "Yes." So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised and glorified Allah and said, "Just now I have seen something which I never saw before at this place of mine, including Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood) that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Ad-Dajjal, or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will come to every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad, Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So we accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to sleep in peace as they have come to know that he was a believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know but heard the people saying something and so I said the same.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 184)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ وَإِذَا هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا لِلنَّاسِ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ أَيْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُصُبُّ الْمَاءَ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا وَاتَّبَعْنَا فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ صَالِحًا قَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمُؤْمِنًا وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ»  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik that Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi narrated from Abdullah bin Abd al-Hakam that Malik bin Anas and Mufaddal bin Fadala narrated from Hisham bin Urwah who narrated from Fatimah bint al-Mundhir who narrated from Asma bint Abu Bakr who said, "I went to Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , when the sun was eclipsed. The people were standing and praying, and she was also standing. I asked, 'What is happening to the people?' She pointed with her hand towards the sky and said, 'Subhan Allah!' I asked, 'Is this a sign?' She nodded and said, 'Yes.' I stood until I became faint, and then I poured water over my head. I praised Allah and His Messenger ﷺ . Then she said, 'There is nothing that I have not seen in my place except that I have seen it in this state, even Paradise and Hell. It was revealed to me that you will be tested in the graves like or similar to the trials of the Dajjal (Antichrist). I do not know which of them it is.' She said, 'A person will come and it will be said to him, 'What do you know about this man?' As for the believer or the convinced one, I do not know which of them it is, he will say, 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , came to us with clear signs and guidance and we responded and believed and followed.' He will be told, 'Sleep peacefully; we know that you were a believer.' As for the hypocrite or the doubtful one, I do not know which of them it is, he will say, 'I do not know, I heard people saying something and I said it too.'

[Machine] She said, "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading the people in prayer. I said to 'Aishah, 'What is happening to the people?' She said, 'Glorified is Allah,' and pointed with her head towards the sky. I said, 'Is it a sign?' She nodded her head in affirmation. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood up and prolonged the standing until I started feeling dizzy and drew closer to join the rows. I untied my headcloth (that was around my waist) and began pouring water on my head while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was still praying until the sun appeared and a clamor was heard amongst the people. I silenced them and asked 'Aishah, 'What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do?' She said, 'He praised and glorified Allah, then said, 'Now, as for what follows, there is not anything that I did not see except that I saw it in my place (of residence) until I have witnessed both Paradise and Hellfire, and it has been revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves soon, or it is the trial of the Antichrist (Dajjal).' One of you will be asked in his grave, 'What do you say about this man who was among you?' As for a believer, he will say, 'He is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, who came to us with clear signs and guidance, so we believed and followed him.' It will be said to him, 'We knew that you used to say that.' So sleep a good sleep like a bridegroom who is not awakened except by the closest of his family when he has finished his sound sleep (having a good dream) and as for a hypocrite and a doubtful person, they will say, 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to say.' It will be said to him, 'Neither did you know nor did you follow what the people said.'"

[Machine] I came to Aisha, and the people were standing, and she was praying. So I asked, "What is the matter with the people?" She pointed with her hand towards the sky and said, "Glory be to Allah." So I asked, "Is it a sign?" She nodded her head in affirmation and said, "Yes." Then I stood until I felt weak and then I poured water on my head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised and thanked Allah when he departed and said, "I have seen everything that I have observed in this place, even Paradise and Hell, and it has been revealed to me that you will be tested in the graves, similar or close to it. I do not know which one." Aisha said, "Asmaa mentioned the trial of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ) and said, 'One of you will be brought and it will be said to him, 'What do you know about this man?' So the believer or the one who is certain will say, 'I do not know which one.' Asmaa said, 'He will say, 'He is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah who brought us clear signs and guidance, and we believed and followed him.' Then it will be said, 'We know that you were a believer in him.' He will say this three times. As for the hypocrite or the doubtful one, I do not know which one.'" Asmaa said, "He will say, 'I heard people saying something, so I said it.'"  

أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ قِيَامٌ وَإِذَا هِيَ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَيْ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَقُمْتُ حَتَّى تَجَلَّانِي الْغَشْيُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ قَالَتْ فَحَمِدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اللهُ ﷻ وَأثْنَى عَلَيْهِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ وَقَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَى أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ أَوْ قَرِيبًا لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى فَأَجَبْنَا وَاتَّبَعْنَا فَيُقَالُ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَنْ كُنْتَ لَمُؤْمِنًا بِهِ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ فَيَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُ  

[Machine] I went to Aisha and found people standing, while she was praying. I said, "What is the matter with the people?" She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, "Glory be to Allah." So, I said, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head, meaning, "Yes." So, I stood for prayer until I felt my legs strained. Then I poured water on my head and praised Allah and thanked Him. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised Allah and extolled Him, and said, 'No one sees what I have seen, except that they will see it in this place of mine, even the Paradise and the Hellfire. And it has been revealed to me that you will be tested in the graves, similar to or almost like the trial of the False Messiah.' It will be said to one of you: 'What do you know about this man?' As for the believer, he will say: 'Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He brought us clear signs and guidance, so we believed and followed him.' It will be said: 'Rest in peace, for we have known that you were a believer in Allah.' As for the hypocrite or the doubting person, I do not know which of the two she said, they will say: 'I do not know. I heard the people saying something, so I said it too.'"
