English translation
7096. Narrated Shaqiq : I heard Hudhaifa saying, "While we were sitting with 'Umar, he said, 'Who among you remembers the statement of the Prophet ﷺ about Al-Fitan (trial and afflictions)?'" Hudhaifa said, "The Fitnah of a man in his family, his property, his children and his neighbours are expiated by his Salāt (prayers), Zakāt (and charity) and enjoining Al-Ma'rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that Allāh has ordained) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)." 'Umar said, "I do not ask you about these Al-Fitan but about that Al-Fitan which will move like the waves of the sea." Hudhaifa said, "Don't worry about it, O chief of the believers, for there is a closed door between you and it." 'Umar said, "Will that door be broken or opened?" I said, "No, it will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then it will never be closed." I said, "Yes." We asked Hudhaifa, "Did 'Umar know what that door meant?" He replied, "Yes, as I know that there will be night before tomorrow morning, that is because I narrated to him a true narration, free from errors." We dared not ask Hudhaifa as to whom the door represented so we ordered Masruq to ask him what does the door stand for? He replied, " 'Umar."
