Sunan Ibn Majah
Sunan Ibn Majah 4239
Book 37: Zuhd
It was
narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe, said:
“We
were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we spoke of Paradise
and
Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went
to
my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then
I
remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and
said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do
that.’”
So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ),
who said: “O
Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the
angels would
shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O
Hanzalah,
there is a time for this and a time for that.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ التَّمِيمِيِّ الأُسَيِّدِيِّ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَكَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْىَ الْعَيْنِ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ . قَالَ : فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي كُنَّا فِيهِ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ : نَافَقْتُ، نَافَقْتُ . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُهُ . فَذَهَبَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ : ” يَا حَنْظَلَةُ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ – أَوْ عَلَى طُرُقِكُمْ – يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةٌ وَسَاعَةٌ ” .
