[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for the prisoners to be thrown into Al-Qalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then stood over them and said, "O people of Al-Qalib, have you found what your Lord promised you to be true? For indeed, I have found what my Lord promised me to be true." His companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, are you speaking to dead people?" He replied, "Indeed, they know that what their Lord promised them is true." When the prisoners were ordered, they were dragged while there was a mark on the face of Abu Hudhaifah ibn Utbah Al-Karakiyah and his father was being dragged towards Al-Qalib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Abu Hudhaifah, by Allah, it seems as though what was in your father has befallen you." He replied, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I never doubted Allah and His Messenger. However, if he was calm and sincere, and had insight, I hoped that he would not die until Allah guided him to Islam. But when I saw that it had passed and ended up where it did, it made me sad." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then supplicated for him with good, "May he be correct upon the condition of a Muslim, and not be excluded."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِالْقَلِيبِ فَطُرِحُوا فِيهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ الْقَلِيبِ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا» فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُكَلِّمُ أَقْوَامًا مَوْتَى؟ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقٌّ» فَلَمَّا أَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَسُحِبُوا عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ وَأَبُوهُ يُسْحَبُ إِلَى الْقَلِيبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ وَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّهُ سَاءَكَ مَا كَانَ فِي أَبِيكَ» فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا شَكَكْتُ فِي اللَّهِ وَفِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ حَلِيمًا سَدِيدًا ذَا رَأْيٍ فَكُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَهْدِيَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ أَنْ قَدْ فَاتَ ذَلِكَ وَوَقَعَ حَيْثُ وَقَعَ أَحْزَنَنِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَدَعَا لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِخَيْرٍ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» على شرط مسلم
