عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه، فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ الْفِتَنَ؟ فَقَالَ قوْمٌ: نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْنُونَ فِتْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَجَارِهِ؟ قَالُوا: أَجَلْ، قَالَ: تِلْكَ تُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ، وَلَكِنْ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ مَوْجَ الْبَحْرِ؟ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: فَأَسْكَتَ الْقَوْمُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، قَالَ: أَنْتَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ كَالْحَصِيرِ عُودًا عُودًا، فَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أُشْرِبَهَا نُكِتَ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ، وَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أَنْكَرَهَا نُكِتَ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ، حَتَّى تَصِيرَ عَلَى قَلْبَيْنِ، عَلَى أَبْيَضَ مِثْلِ الصَّفَا فَلَا تَضُرُّهُ فِتْنَةٌ مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ، وَالْآخَرُ أَسْوَدُ مُرْبَادًّا كَالْكُوزِ، مُجَخِّيًا لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا، وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا، إِلَّا مَا أُشْرِبَ مِنْ هَوَاهُ»، قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ: وَحَدَّثْتُهُ، أَنَّ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهَا بَابًا مُغْلَقًا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُكْسَرَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: أَكَسْرًا لَا أَبَا لَكَ؟ فَلَوْ أَنَّهُ فُتِحَ لَعَلَّهُ كَانَ يُعَادُ، قُلْتُ: لَا بَلْ يُكْسَرُ، وَحَدَّثْتُهُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ رَجُلٌ يُقْتَلُ أَوْ يَمُوتُ حَدِيثًا لَيْسَ بِالْأَغَالِيطِ. قَالَ أَبُو خَالِدٍ: فَقُلْتُ لِسَعْدٍ: يَا أَبَا مَالِكٍ، مَا أَسْوَدُ مُرْبَادٌّ؟ قَالَ: شِدَّةُ الْبَيَاضِ فِي سَوَادٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَمَا الْكُوزُ مُجَخِّيًا؟ قَالَ: مَنْكُوسًا.
Kutoka kwa Hudhaifa radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake amesema: Siku moja tulikuwa kwa Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake, akasema: Ni nani miongoni mwenu aliyemsikia Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akieleza kuhusu fitina? Watu wakasema: Sisi tulimsikia, akasema: Huenda nyinyi mnakusudia fitina ya mtu kwa familia yake na jirani yake? Wakasema: Ndivyo, akasema: Fitina hiyo inafutwa na swala na swaumu na sadaka, lakini ni nani miongoni mwenu aliyemsikia Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akieleza fitina ambayo inapiga kama mawimbi ya Bahari? Akasema Hudhaifa: Akawanyamazisha watu wote kwa hilo, nikasema: Mimi, akasema: Nakuapiza kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, umkose baba yako, ni wewe kweli, Hudhaifa, nilimsikia Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akisema: "Hupitishwa fitina katika nyoyo (kama ufumwavyo mkeka) ukindu (kijiti) kimoja kimoja, moyo wowote utakaozifyonza basi hutiwa ndani yake doa jeusi, na moyo wowote unaozikataa hutiwa doa jeupe, moyo huo mpaka unakuwa katika (hadhi ya) mioyo miwili, katika weupe mfano wa jiwe jeupe, hivyo hakuna fitina yoyote inayoweza kuudhuru milele kwa muda wote mbingu na ardhi zitakapoendelea kubakia kwake, na moyo mwingine ni mweusi ti! kama chungu kilichofunikwa, haukubali jema, wala haukatai ovu, isipokuwa matamanio ulionyweshwa", Hudhaifa akasema: Na nikamsimulia kuwa hakika kati yako wewe na fitina hiyo kuna mlango uliofungwa, na hivi karibuni utavunjwa, Omari akasema: Hivi utavunjwa? umepata hasara ya kumkosa baba, na lau ungelifunguliwa basi huenda ungelirejeshwa tena, nikasema: Hapana, bali utavunjwa, na nikamsimulia kuwa mlango huo ni mtu atauawa au kufa, na ni mazungumzo ya kweli wala si maneno ya kubumba. Akasema Abuu Khalidi, nikasema kumwambia Saa'di: Ewe Abuu Maaliki nini maana ya nyeusi ti!? Akasema: Ni weupe ung'aao katika weusi, anasema, nikasema: Na nini maana ya chungu kilichofunikwa? Akasema: Kilichogeuzwa juu chini.
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and he said: Who among you heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mention the trials? Some people said: We heard him. He said: Perhaps you mean the trial of a man in his family and his neighbor? They said: Yes. He said: That is expiated by prayer, fasting, and charity. But who among you heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mention the trial that surges like the waves of the sea? Hudhayfah said: The people remained silent, and I said: I did. He said: May your father be sacrificed for you! Hudhayfah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The trials are presented to the hearts, like a reed mat, stick by stick. Any heart that absorbs them, a black spot will be marked in it, and any heart that rejects them, a white spot will be marked in it, until the hearts become two: one white, like a smooth rock, untouched by any trial as long as the heavens and the earth remain, and the other black and discolored, like a jug, turned upside down, not acknowledging what is good nor rejecting what is evil, except for what it has absorbed of its desires." Hudhayfah said: I informed him that between you and them is a closed door, which is about to be broken. ‘Umar said: Will it be a break, may you have no father? If it were opened, perhaps it would have been restored. I said: No, it will be broken. I informed him that this door is a man who will either be killed or die, a speech that is not full of falsehoods. Abu Khālid said: I said to Sa‘d: O Abu Mālik, what is "black and discolored"? He said: It is extreme whiteness mixed with blackness. He said: I said: What is "a jug turned upside down"? He said: Turned over.
Hatari ya fitina ya watu wote; kwa sababu ya yale yanayotokea ndani yake kama umwagwaji wa damu na kupoteza mali na kutoweka kwa amani.
Fitina binafsi ikiwa inahusiana na dini basi hapa mtu kasemwa vibaya; kwa sababu ima iwe ni uzushi au maasi, na ikiwa inafungamana na mambo ya kidunia, basi huu kwake ni mtihani, na la wajibu kwake ni kuwa subira.
Moyo unaathirika kwa fitina zinazopitishwa, na mwenye kuwezeshwa ni yule aliyeongozwa na Mwenyezi Mungu kudumu katika uongofu.
Amesema Nawawi: Amesema Mtunzi wa kitabu Attahriiri: Maana ya hadithi: Nikuwa mtu atakapofuata matamanio yake na akafanya maasi, moyo wake huingia giza kwa kila maasi anayoyafanya, na akiendelea hivyo basi hufitinika na kuondoka nuru ya Uislamu, na moyo kuwa kama mfano wa chungu kikijifunika humwagika kilichomo, na hakiwezi kuingia kitu tena baada ya hapo.
Kauli ya Omari kwa Hudhaifa: (Umkose baba yake) Maana yake: Umedhamiria kweli katika jambo hili, na kaza na ujiandae kujiandaa kwa mtu asiyekuwa na msaidizi.
Ubora wa Omari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake, na kwamba yeye ni mlango uliofungwa baina ya watu na fitina
