Subay' ibn Khalid said: I came to Kufah at the time when Tustar was conquered. I took some mules from it. When I entered the mosque (of Kufah), I found there some people of moderate stature, and among them was a man whom you could recognize when you saw him that he was from the people of Hijaz. I asked: Who is he? The people frowned at me and said: Do you not recognize him? This is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Hudhayfah said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Then the people stared hard at him. He said: I know the reason why you dislike it. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil as there was before, after this good which Allah has bestowed on us? He replied: Yes. I asked: Wherein does the protection from it lie? He replied: In the sword. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what will then happen? He replied: If Allah has on Earth a caliph who flays your back and takes your property, obey him, otherwise die holding onto the stump of a tree. I asked: What will come next? He replied: Then the Antichrist (Dajjal) will come forth accompanied by a river and fire. He who falls into his fire will certainly receive his reward, and have his load taken off him, but he who falls into his river will have his load retained and his reward taken off him. I then asked: What will come next? He said: The Last Hour will come. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4244)

[Machine] "They sent me from Ma'a to Kufa to buy animals. So we arrived at the market and there was a man with a crowd gathered around him. As for my companion, he went to the animals, and as for me, I approached the man and it turned out to be Hudhayfah. I heard him saying, 'The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ask him about good things, and I used to ask him about evil things. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there evil after this good, as there was before?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'What protection is there from it?' He said, 'The sword.' So I think that Abu Tayyah said, 'The sword, I think.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then there will be a truce between you and the smoke (of the Hour).' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then the callers to misguidance will emerge. So if you see at that time the caliph of Allah on the earth, then join him and stick to his group even if you have to crawl over ice. I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then the Dajjal will come out.' I said, 'By what will he be accompanied?' He said, 'He will be accompanied by a river or by water and fire. Whoever enters his river will have his reward, and what is due to him will be taken away, and whoever enters his fire will have his reward and what is due to him will be taken away.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'If you could acquire a horse and you did not mount it, you would surely regret it until the Hour starts.'"

[Machine] I went some time ago, and it was still covered until I reached Kufa, so I entered the mosque and there I saw a circle in which there was a man with a flaw among men, known for being from the people of Al-Hijaz. I asked, "Who is the man?" And the people said, "Don't you know him?" I said, "No." They said, "This is Hudhayfah ibn Al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So I sat down and spoke to the people and he said, "People used to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about good, and I used to ask him about evil. The people disapproved of this, so he said to them, 'I will tell you what you disapprove of. Islam came when something came that was not like the pre-Islamic era. I was given understanding in the Quran, so men would come and ask about good, and I would ask about evil. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, will there be evil after this good, just as there was evil before it?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then what is immunity, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'The sword.' I said, 'Will there be any immunity after this sword?' He said, 'Yes, there will be Imarah on the path of those who are straight, and truce on the path of those who are unjust.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then the callers of misguidance will come out. If Allah has a Khalifa on earth on that day, he should beat your back and take your wealth, so stay with him. Otherwise, die while you are clinging to a tree branch.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then the Dajjal will emerge with a river and fire. Whoever falls into his fire, his reward will be obligatory and his sins will be erased. Whoever falls into his river, his sins will be obligatory and his reward will be erased.' I said, 'Then what?' He said, 'Then the mahar will be introduced, and it will not be ridden until the Hour stands and there is a sound among men.' I asked, 'What is immunity from it?' He said, 'The sword.' Qatadah used to place it on the apostasy that existed during the time of Abu Bakr. And when he said, 'Imarah on the path of those who are straight,' he meant on the path of those who are on guidance. And when he said, 'truce on the path of those who are unjust,' he meant peace. And when he said, 'on the path of those who are on smoke,' he meant on the path of those who are on coal. 'Abd al-Razzaq was asked, 'Whose interpretation is this?' He said, 'It is attributed to Qatadah.'

"عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ كَانُوا يَسْأَلُونَ عَنِ

الْخَيْرِ، وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ؛ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أُدْرِكَهُ، وَإِنِّى بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ

ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْخَيْرَ الَّذِى أَعْطَانَا الله هَلْ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ شَرٍّ (*)؟ كَمَا

كَانَ قَبْلَهُ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا الْعِصْمَةُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: السَّيْفُ، قُلْتُ: وَهَلْ لِلسَّيْفِ

مِنْ بَقِيَّةٍ؟ قَالَ: هُدْنَةٌ عَلَى دَخَنٍ (* *)، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: وَمَا بَعْدَ الْهُدْنَةِ؟ قَالَ: دُعَاةٌ

لِلضَّلَالَةِ، فَإِنْ لَقِيتَ فِيهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَلِيفَةً فِى الأَرْضِ فَالْزَمْهُ، وَإِنْ أُخِذَ مَالُكَ، وَضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ، وَإِلَّا - وَفِى لَفْظٍ - فَإنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ خَلِيفَةٌ، فَاهْرَبْ فِى الأَرْضِ جِدَّ هَرَبِكَ، حَتَّى يُدْرِكَكَ الْمَوْتُ وَأَنْتَ عَاضٌّ عَلَى أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! فَمَا بَعْدَ دُعَاةِ الضَّلَالَةِ؟ قَالَ: خُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ، قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله: وَمَا يَجئُ بِهِ الدَّجَّالُ؟ قَالَ: يَجِئُ بِنَارٍ وَنَهرٍ، فَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِى نَارِهِ وَجَبَ أَجْرُهُ، وَحُطَّ وِزْرُهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! فَمَا بَعْدَ الدَّجَّالِ؟ قَالَ: عِيسَى ابنُ مَرْيَمَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله! فَمَا بَعْدَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ؟ قَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَنْتَجَ فَرَسًا لَم يَرْكبْ ظَهْرَهَا حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ".
