It is narrated from Bilal bin Yahya that when the time of death drew near for Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) - and he had lived for forty days after Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) - he gave us this counsel: "I counsel you to be mindful of Allah (taqwa) and to obey the Commander of the Believers, Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)."

It is narrated from Rib'i bin Hirash that a man came to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Abu Abdullah!"

It is narrated from Qays that when his shroud was brought to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was at that time leaning for support on Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) - the narrator said: a new shroud was brought to him - he said: "What will you do with this? If your companion (that is, I) is righteous, Allah Almighty will exchange it for him with something better, and if the matter is otherwise, Allah Almighty will strike his face with this very shroud on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the early part of the night Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) fell unconscious. Then, when he came to, he asked: "What time of the night is this?" I said: It is the last part of the pre-dawn (sahar). He said two or three times: 'A'idhun billahi min jahannam' (I seek refuge with Allah from Hell). Then he said: "Buy two garments for me and shroud me in them, and do not get an expensive shroud for me. For if your companion is found pleasing (to Allah), he will be clothed in something better than them; otherwise, even these two garments will be snatched from him very quickly."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me and told me: Indeed, al-Hasan and al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) are the leaders of the youth of the people of Paradise." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Hudhayfah! May Allah forgive you and your mother."
