ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ

I did not hear this hadith from Allah's Apostle ﷺ directly but it was Zaid b. Thabit who narrated it from him. As Allah's Apostle ﷺ was going along with us towards the dwellings of Bani an-Najjar, riding upon his pony, it shied and he was about to fall. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Who amongst you knows about those lying in the graves? A person said: It is I. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: In what state did they die? He said: They died as polytheists. He said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were not the reason that you would stop burying (your dead) in the graves on listening to the torment in the grave which I am listening to, I would have certainly made you hear that. Then turning his face towards us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects), and they said: We seek refuge with Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects and he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal, and they said We seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal.  

أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَلَمْ أَشْهَدْهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ حَدَّثَنِيهِ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي حَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ إِذْ حَادَتْ بِهِ فَكَادَتْ تُلْقِيهِ وَإِذَا أَقْبُرٌ سِتَّةٌ أَوْ خَمْسَةٌ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةٌ قَالَ كَذَا كَانَ يَقُولُ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الأَقْبُرِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا قَالَ فَمَتَى مَاتَ هَؤُلاَءِ قَالَ مَاتُوا فِي الإِشْرَاكِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا فَلَوْلاَ أَنْ لاَ تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ فَقَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالُوا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ قَالُوا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ قَالُوا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ  

[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a wall from the walls of the city, which had graves. He was riding his she-camel when it misbehaved and almost threw him off. He then asked, 'Who knows the occupants of these graves?' A man replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are people who died during the era of ignorance.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying [your deceased], I would have asked Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave.' Then he said to us, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of Hell.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of Hell.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah (trial) of the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal).' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of the Antichrist.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of life and death.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of life and death.'"  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فِيهِ أَقْبُرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ فَحَادَتْ بِهِ وَكَادَتْأَنْ تُلْقِيَهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الْأَقْبُرِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَوْمٌ هَلَكُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنَا تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ قُلْنَا نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ فَقُلْنَا نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَقُلْنَا نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ قُلْنَا نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ  

"لَوْلا أنْ تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ الله أنْ يُسْمِعَكُم مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ الَّذي أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ، إنَّ هَذ الأمَّةَ تبتَلَى في قُبُورها، تَعَوَّذوا بالله من عذَابَ النّارِ وعَذَاب القَبْرَ، وتَعَوَّذُوُا بالله من الفتنِ ما ظهرَ مِنْهَا وما بطنَ، تَعَوَّذُوا بالله من فتْنَة الدَّجَّال".  

"إِنَّ هذه الأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى في قبُورِها فلولَا أَن لا تَدَافنوا لَدَعوتُ اللَّه يُسْمِعَكُمْ من عذابِ القْبرِ الذى أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ، تَعَوَّذُوا باللَّه من عذابِ النَّارِ تَعَوَّذوا باللَّه من عذابِ القبْرِ، تعوَّذوا باللَّه من الفِتَن ما ظَهر منها وما بطنَ، تَعَوَّذُوا باللَّه من فتنةِ الدجَّال".
