6362. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Once the people started asking Allāh's Messenger ﷺ questions, and they asked so many questions that he became angry and ascended the pulpit and said, "I will answer whatever questions you may ask me today." I looked right and left and saw everyone covering his face with his garment and weeping. Behold! There was a man who, on quarrelling with the people, used to be called as a son of a person other than his father. He said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who is my father?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." And then 'Umar got up and said, "We accept Allāh as our Lord, and Islām as (our) religion, and Muḥammad ﷺ as (our) Messenger; and we seek refuge with Allāh from Al-Fitan (trials and afflictions)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "I have never seen a day like today in its good and its evil for Paradise and the Hell-fire were displayed in front of me, till I saw them just beyond this wall." Qatāda, when relating this Hadīth used to mention the following Verse: "O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble..." (V.5:101)

6362 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ المَسْأَلَةَ، فَغَضِبَ فَصَعِدَ المِنْبَرَ، فَقَالَ: «لاَ تَسْأَلُونِي اليَوْمَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ» فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا، فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لاَفٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ كَانَ إِذَا لاَحَى الرِّجَالَ يُدْعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: «حُذَافَةُ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا، نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الفِتَنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ كَاليَوْمِ قَطُّ، إِنَّهُ صُوِّرَتْ لِي الجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُمَا وَرَاءَ الحَائِطِ» وَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ، يَذْكُرُ عِنْدَ هَذَا الحَدِيثِ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: 101]

(1) (H. 6361) This does not mean that the Prophet ﷺ might abuse somebody without reason, but it means that he might abuse somebody because of his apparent behaviour while his intention was honest.
