Hadith text

Narrated Abu Wail:Hudhaifa said, "`Umar said, 'Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about afflictions'?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had said it.' `Umar said, 'No doubt, you are bold. How did he say it?' I said, 'A man's afflictions (wrong deeds) concerning his wife, children and neighbors are expiated by (his) prayers, charity, and enjoining good.' (The sub-narrator Sulaiman added that he said, 'The prayer, charity, enjoining good and forbidding evil.') `Umar said, 'I did not mean that, but I ask about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I said, 'O chief of the believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.' He asked, 'Will the door be broken or opened?' I replied, 'No, it will be broken.' He said, 'Then, if it is broken, it will never be closed again?' I replied, 'Yes.' " Then we were afraid to ask what that door was, so we asked Masruq to inquire, and he asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said, "The door was `Umar. "We further asked Hudhaifa whether `Umar knew what that door meant. Hudhaifa replied in the affirmative and added, "He knew it as one knows that there will be a night before the tomorrow morning

Abu Wail bataate hain: Hudhaifa ne kaha: "Umar ne pucha: 'Tum mein se kise Allah ke Rasool ki fitno ke baare mein kahi baat yaad hai?' Maine kaha: 'Mujhe yaad hai jaise Nabi ne kahi thi.' Umar ne kaha: 'Beshak tum himmat wale ho. Unhone kaise kaha?' Maine kaha: 'Mard ki fitne uski biwi, aulad aur padosi se hoti hain, jinka kaffara namaz, sadqa aur amr-bil-ma'roof se ho jaata hai.' (Sulaiman, doosre raawi ne joda: 'namaz, sadqa, amr-bil-ma'roof aur nahi-anil-munkar.') Umar ne kaha: 'Mera matlab yeh nahi tha, mera matlab us fitne se tha jo samundar ki lehron ki tarah phailegi.' Maine kaha: 'Aye Ameer-ul-Momineen! Aapko iski fikar nahi honi chahiye, kyunke aapke aur uske darmiyan ek band darwaza hai.' Umar ne pucha: 'Kya darwaza toota jayega ya khola jayega?' Maine jawab diya: 'Toda jayega.' Umar ne kaha: 'Phir yeh kabhi band nahi hoga?' Maine kaha: 'Haan.'" Iske baad humein us darwaze ke baare mein poochne se dar lagta tha, isliye humne Masruq ko Hudhaifa se poochne bheja. Hudhaifa ne kaha: "Woh darwaza khud Umar the." Humne Hudhaifa se yeh bhi poocha kya Umar jaante the woh darwaza kya hai. Hudhaifa ne haan mein jawab diya aur joda: "Unhe utna hi pata tha jitna kisi ko pata hota hai ke subah se pehle raat aayegi."
