کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, led the Asr prayer with us during the day, then he delivered a sermon until the sun went down. He did not leave anything that would happen until the Day of Resurrection without narrating it to us. He who memorized it memorized it, and he who forgot it forgot it.

Allah has raised this world for me, so I look at it and what will be in it until the Day of Resurrection as I look at these palms of my own: two generations from Allah that He revealed to His Prophet as He revealed to the prophets before him.

I am the most knowledgeable of people about every temptation that will occur until the Day of Resurrection, and what is wrong with me is that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, confided to me something that no one else told me about, but the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, told a gathering I was in about temptations, some of which were minor and some of which were major, so all of those groups went away except me.

There is no one who commits a temptation that reaches the size of three hundred people, but if I wished, I would call him by his name, his father’s name, and his residence until the Day of Resurrection.

There are not three hundred that come out unless you wish to name their driver and caller until the Day of Resurrection

By the One in whose hand is my soul until the Day of Resurrection

" `Umar said, "I don't mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door between you and them." `Umar asked, "Will that door be opened or broken?" Hudhaifa replied, "No, it will be broken." `Umar said, "Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again." Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, "Did `Umar know what that door meant?" He said, "Yes, `Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to `Umar an authentic narration, not lies." We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him, "What does the door stand for?" He said, "`Umar
