Tha’laba bin Zahdam says that once we were in Tabaristan with Hazrat Sa’eed bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked the people,“Who among you has performed the Salat al-Khawf (prayer of fear) with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?”Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“I have, and it was like this: the people formed two rows behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). One row stood facing the enemy, and one row stood behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) for prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in one rak’ah, then these people walked backwards to the place of those who were standing facing the enemy, and those people came and stood behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in their place. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) then led them in the second rak’ah, and then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said the salam (ending the prayer). In this way, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) completed two rak’ahs, and each group behind him performed one rak’ah.”

Rabi’ says that once Uqbah bin Amr said to Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him),“Why do you not narrate to us any hadith you heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?”He replied,“I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When the Dajjal appears, he will have with him water and fire. What people will see as fire will actually be cool water, and what they will see as water will actually be burning fire. Whoever among you encounters him should plunge into what appears to be fire, for it will be sweet and cool water.”Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) says,“I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: In earlier times, the Angel of Death came to a man to seize his soul and asked him, ‘Have you ever done any good deed?’ He replied, ‘I do not know.’ The angel said, ‘Think about it.’ He said, ‘I do not know of any good deed except that I used to trade with people and would give respite to the one in difficulty and overlook (his debt).’ Allah Almighty admitted him to Paradise.”And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“When the time of death approached a man, he said to his family, ‘When I die, burn me in fire, then crush my ashes, and on a windy day scatter my ashes in the air.’ When he died, his family did as he had asked. Allah gathered him in His power and asked, ‘What made you do this?’ He replied, ‘Your fear.’ Allah said, ‘I have forgiven you.’”

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that nothing prevented me from participating in the Battle of Badr. In fact, I set out with my father Husail, but on the way, the disbelievers of Quraysh captured us and said, "Are you going to Muhammad (peace be upon him)?" We said, "Our intention is only to go to Madinah Munawwarah." They took a promise and a strong oath from us that after reaching Madinah, we would not support him in battle. We reached the service of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him of the entire matter. The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Both of you return; we will fulfill their promise and seek help from Allah against them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he presented himself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I was performing prayer when suddenly I heard a man saying: O Allah! All praise is for You, all sovereignty is for You, all kinds of goodness are in Your hand, all matters return to You, whether apparent or hidden. You alone are worthy of being praised. Surely, You have power over all things. O Allah! Forgive all the sins that I have committed, and in whatever part of life remains, protect me from sins, and grant me the ability to perform such righteous deeds with which You become pleased. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That was an angel who came to teach you the praise of your Lord.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once held the calf of my or his own leg and said: The place for tying the lower garment is up to here. If you do not accept this, then let it hang a little below this. If you do not accept even this, then below the ankles the lower garment has no right.

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that once I went out towards a village with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked for water, so a farmer brought water in a silver vessel. Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) struck the vessel on his face. We signaled to each other to remain silent, because if we had asked him, he would never have told us about it. So we remained silent. After a while, he himself said, "Do you know why I struck that vessel on his face?" We replied, "No." He said, "I had forbidden him before as well (but he did not refrain)." Then he told us that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not drink from gold and silver vessels, and do not wear silk and brocade, for these things are for the disbelievers in this world and for you in the Hereafter."

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my Ummah, twenty-seven liars and Dajjals will appear, among whom four will be women, although I am the last Prophet; there will be no Prophet after me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The tale-bearer will not enter Paradise."

Zaid bin Wahb narrates that once Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque and saw that near the doors of Kindah, a man was praying. He was not performing the bowing (ruku) and prostration (sajdah) properly. When he finished the prayer, Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Since when have you been praying like this?" He replied, "For forty years." Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have not prayed a single prayer in forty years, and if you were to depart from this world with this prayer, you would not die upon the nature (fitrah) which was granted to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Zirr bin Hubaish says that once I ate suhoor and set out towards the mosque. On the way, I passed by the house of Hazrat Hudhaifa bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), so I went there. He gave an order, so a goat was milked and the pot was boiled. Then he said, "Come close and start eating." I said, "I have already made the intention to fast." He said, "I also intend to fast." So we ate and drank, and when we reached the mosque, the prayer had already started. Then Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same with me." I asked, "After the true dawn?" He replied, "Yes! The morning had come, but the sun had not yet risen."
