[6967] 13 - (...) It was narrated that Hanzalah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he exhorted us, and reminded us of the Fire. Then I came home and laughed with my children and played with my wife. Then I went out and met Abū Bakr, and I mentioned that to him. He said: 'I have done the same as you mentioned.' We met the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, Hanzalah has become a hypocrite.' He said: 'Don't speak like that.' So I told him what we had said, and Abū Bakr said: 'I have done the same as he has.' He (ﷺ) said: 'O Hanzalah, there is a time for this and a time for that. If your hearts were always as they are when you are remembering, the angels would shake hands with you and greet you in the streets.”

Arabic text

13 - (2750) حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَعَظَنَا، فَذَكَّرَ النَّارَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَضَاحَكْتُ الصِّبْيَانَ وَلَاعَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا تَذْكُرُ، فَلَقِينَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَقَالَ: «مَهْ» فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِالْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ تَكُونُ قُلُوبُكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الذِّكْرِ، لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، حَتَّى تُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الطُّرُقِ»،
