"My mother asked me: 'When is your planned time - meaning with the Prophet ﷺ?' So I said: 'I have not had a planned time to see him since such and such time.' She rebuked me, so I said to her: 'Let me go to the Prophet ﷺ so that I may perform Maghrib (prayer) with him, and ask him to seek forgiveness for you and I.' So I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and I prayed Maghrib with him, then he prayed until he prayed Al-'Isha. Then he turned, and I followed him, and he heard my voice, and said: 'Who is this? Hudhaifah?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: "What is your need, may Allah forgive you and your mother?' He said: 'Indeed, this is an angel that never descended to the earth ever before tonight. He sought permission from his Lord to greet me with peace and to give me the glad tidings that Fatimah is the chief of the women of Paradise, and that Al-Hasan and Al-Husain are the chiefs of the youths of the people of Paradise.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3781)   

سَأَلَتْنِي أُمِّي مُنْذُ مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا «مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَنَالَتْ مِنِّي وَسَبَّتْنِي» فَقُلْتُ لَهَا دَعِينِي فَإِنِّي آتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ وَلَا أَدَعُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي وَلَكِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ الْمَغْرِبَ فَصَلَّى إِلَى الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ وَتَبِعْتُهُ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ عَارِضٌ فَأَخَذَهُ وَذَهَبَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا» فَقُلْتُ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقَالَ «مَا لَكَ» فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِالْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ «غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ وَلِأُمِّكَ أَمَا رَأَيْتَ الْعَارِضَ الَّذِي عَرَضَ لِي قَبْلُ» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ «هُوَ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَمْ يَهْبِطْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ قَطُّ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ وَبَشَّرَنِي أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] I arrived in Damascus and entered the mosque of Damascus and prayed two units of prayer, then I said, "O Allah, grant me a righteous companion." So I sat with Abu Darda and he said to me, "Who are you?" I said, "I am from the people of Iraq." He said, "So how did Abdullah used to recite (And [by] the night when it covers and [by] the day when it appears and [by] the male and the female)?" I said, "This is how Abdullah used to recite it." Abu Darda said, "This is how I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then he said, "Among you is the one who is protected from Satan, 'Ammar ibn Yasir, and among you is the one who knows the secrets that no one else knows, meaning Hudhayfah."  

قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَدَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ فَصَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ اللهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ لِي مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ عَبْدُ اللهِ {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنْثَى} قُلْتُ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ «فِيكُمُ الَّذِي أُجِيرَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَفِيكُمُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ يَعْنِي حُذَيْفَةَ»
