7089. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The people started asking the Prophet ﷺ too many questions importunately. So he ascended the pulpit and said, "You will not ask me any question but I will answer it to you." I looked right and left, and behold, every man was covering his head with his garment and weeping. Then a man got up who, whenever quarrelling with somebody, used to be accused of not being the son of his father. He said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who is my father?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." Then 'Umar got up and said, "We accept Allāh as (our) Lord, Islām as our religion and Muḥammad as (our) Messenger and we seek refuge with Allāh from the evil of Al-Fitan (trials and afflictions)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have never seen the good and bad like on this day. No doubt, Paradise and Hell were displayed in front of me till I saw them in front of that wall." Qatāda said: This Hadīth used to be mentioned as an explanation of this Verse: "O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble..." (V.5:101)

7089 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ، فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ المِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ: «لاَ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُ لَكُمْ» فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا، فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لاَفٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي، فَأَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ، كَانَ إِذَا لاَحَى يُدْعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي؟ فَقَالَ: «أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا، نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الفِتَنِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ كَاليَوْمِ قَطُّ، إِنَّهُ صُوِّرَتْ لِي الجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُمَا دُونَ الحَائِطِ» فَكَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَذْكُرُ هَذَا الحَدِيثَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} [المائدة: 101]
