English translation

[377] 235 - (149) It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: 'Tell me how many people have professed Islam.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, do you fear for us while we are between six hundred and seven hundred strong?' He said: 'You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.' He said: 'And we were tested, until some of us performed Ṣalât only in secret.'"

Arabic text

235 - (149) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَحْصُوا لِي كَمْ يَلْفِظُ الْإِسْلَامَ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّمِائَةٍ إِلَى السَّبْعِمِائةٍ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا»، قَالَ: «فَابْتُلِيَنَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا»
