[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he mentioned Paradise and Hell. We were overwhelmed with joy and I went back to my family and laughed with them. Something then occurred to me and I met Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Indeed, I have become a hypocrite." He asked, "And what is that?" So I said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he mentioned Paradise and Hell, and it was as if we saw them with our own eyes. But when I came back to my family, I laughed with them." Abu Bakr said, "We also do the same." So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it. He said, "O Hanthalah, if you were to remain in the state you are in while you are with your family, angels would shake hands with you on your beds and on your paths, O Hanthalah, for an hour and an hour."
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ فَكُنَّا رَأْىَ عَيْنٍ فَخَرَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي شَيْءٌ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي نَافَقْتُ قَالَ وَمَا ذَلِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَكُنَّا كَأَنَّا رَأْى عَيْنٍ فَأَتَيْتُ أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ «يَا حَنْظَلَةُ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِيكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَفِي الطَّرِيقِ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةٌ وَسَاعَةٌ»
