Narrated Hudhaifa:Once `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle regarding the afflictions?" Hudhaifa replied, "I remember what he said exactly." `Umar said, "Tell (us), you are really a daring man!" Hudhaifa said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'A man's afflictions (i.e. wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.' " `Umar said, "I don't mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door between you and them." `Umar asked, "Will that door be opened or broken?" Hudhaifa replied, "No, it will be broken." `Umar said, "Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again." Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, "Did `Umar know what that door meant?" He said, "Yes, `Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to `Umar an authentic narration, not lies." We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him, "What does the door stand for?" He said, "`Umar

Hudhaifa bataate hain: Ek baar Umar bin Al-Khattab ne kaha, "Tum mein se kis ko Allah ke Rasool ka fitnon ke baare mein bataana yaad hai?" Hudhaifa ne jawab diya, "Mujhe woh yaad hai jo unhone kaha, bilkul sahi." Umar ne kaha, "Batao, tum sach mein bahadur insaan ho!" Hudhaifa ne kaha, "Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, 'Kisi shaks ke apne pariwara, apni jaidad, aur apne padoson ke prati (gunahon bhare) kaam uske namaz, sadqe, aur achhaee ka hukum dekar buraee se rokne se maaf ho jate hain.'" Umar ne kaha, "Mera matlab yeh fitne nahi, balki woh fitne jo samundar ki lahron jaise uthegi aur giregi." Hudhaifa ne jawab diya, "Aye Mominon ke Ameer! Tumhe un (fitnon) se darne ki zaroorat nahi kyunke tumhare aur unke beech ek band darwaza hai." Umar ne pucha, "Kya woh darwaza khola jaaega ya toda jaayega?" Hudhaifa ne jawab diya, "Nahi, woh toda jaayega." Umar ne kaha, "Phir yeh bahut sambhav hai ke darwaza dobara band nahi hoga." Baad mein logon ne Hudhaifa se pucha, "Kya Umar ko pata tha us darwaze ka matlab kya tha?" Unhone kaha, "Haan, Umar ko utna hi pata tha jitna har koi jaanta hai ke subah se pahle raat hoti hai. Maine Umar ko ek sachchi riwaayat sunaee, koi jhoot nahi." Humme Hudhaifa se aage sawal karne ki himmat nahi thi; isliye humne Masruq se guzarish ki jinhone unse pucha, "Woh darwaza kiske liye hai?" Unhone kaha, "Umar."
