English translation
7287. Narrated Asmā' bint Abū Bakr رضي الله عنها: I came to 'Aīshah during the solar eclipse. The people were standing [offering Ṣalāt (prayer)] and she too, was standing and offering Ṣalāt (prayer). I asked, "What is wrong with the people?" She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, "Subḥān Allāh!" I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning "yes." When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ finished (the Ṣalāt), he glorified and praised Allāh and said, "There is not anything that I have not seen before but I have seen now at this place of mine, even Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me that you people will be put to trial, nearly like the trial of Ad-Dajjāl, in your graves. As for the true believer or a Muslim (the subnarrator is not sure as to which of the two words Asmā' had said), he will say, 'Muḥammad ﷺ came with clear evidences and signs from Allāh, and we responded to him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what he said)'. It will be said (to him) 'Sleep in peace; we have known that you were a true believer who believed with certainty.' As for a hypocrite or a doubtful person, (the subnarrator is not sure as to which word Asmā' said), he will say, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said the same.'" (See H. 86, and 1338)
