Hadith 43

Hijaz. I said, ‘Who is the man? ’ The group said, ‘Or do you not recognise him? ’ I said, ‘No’. They said, ‘This is Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman, companion of Rasool-Allah-saww’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I sat down and he narrated to the people. He said, ‘The people used to ask the Prophet-saww about the good and I used to ask him-saww about the evil’. The group disliked that upon him. He said to them, ‘I shall inform you with what you are disliking from that. came when it came, and a matter came which wasn’t like the matter of the pro-Islamic period. I had been given understanding regarding the Quran, and men were coming asking about the good, and I was asking him-saww about the evil. I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Can evil happen to be after this goodness, just as there was evil before it? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what is the protection, O Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘The sword’. I said, ‘And would there be any remnant after the sword? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes, an emirate upon the sins and a truce upon the smoke’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Then what? ’ He-saww said: ‘Then citizens would spread the straying, so if there was a caliph for Allah-azwj in the earth whipping your back and taking your wealth, then necessitate him, or else so die and you are biting upon the trunk of a tree’. I said, ‘Then what? ’ He-saww said: ‘The Al-Dajjal-la would emerge after that having a river with him-la and a fire. The one who falls into his-la fire, his Recompense would be obligated and his burdens (sins) would be shed, and one who falls into his river, his burden (sins) would be obligated and his Recompense would be shed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Then what? ’ He-saww said: ‘An animal would be produced, but do not ride it until the establishment of the Hour’’. [43]
Note: –
And in a report – ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! The truce upon the smoke, what is it? ’ He-saww said: ‘The hearts of the people will not return upon that which they used to be upon’’.
