[6123] 137 - (...) It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the people asked the Prophet of Allâh ﷺ until he was hard pressed by their questioning. He came out one day and ascended the Minbar, and said: "Ask me, for you will not ask me anything but I will explain it to you." When the people heard that, they were too over-awed to ask anything, as if something bad were about to happen. Anas said: "I started to look to my right and my left, and every man had wrapped his head in his garment and was weeping. A man who used to be slandered and attributed to someone other than his father stood up in the Masjid and said: 'O Prophet of Allâh, who is my father?' He said: 'Your father is Hudhâfah.' Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb started saying: 'We are pleased with Allâh as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muḥammad as our Messenger, we seek refuge with Allâh from the evil of Fitnah.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I have never seen good and evil as (I did) today. Paradise and Hell were shown to me; I saw them near this wall.'"

137 - (2359) حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّاسَ سَأَلُوا نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَحْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ، فَخَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، فَقَالَ: «سَلُونِي، لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ» فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْمُ أَرَمُّوا وَرَهِبُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ حَضَرَ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَلْتَفِتُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا، فَإِذَا كُلُّ رَجُلٍ لَافٌّ رَأْسَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ يَبْكِي، فَأَنْشَأَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، كَانَ يُلَاحَى فَيُدْعَى لِغَيْرِ أَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَنْ أَبِي؟ قَالَ: «أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ» ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا، عَائِذًا بِاللهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الْفِتَنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ، إِنِّي صُوِّرَتْ لِي الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ، فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا دُونَ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ»
