It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood among us (to deliver a sermon), and standing in that place he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave out anything that would happen until the establishment of the Hour without mentioning it to us. Whoever remembered it remembered it, and whoever forgot it forgot it. These companions of mine also know this. Indeed, it happens that something I had forgotten comes about, and upon seeing it (take place) I recall it, just as a man recognises the face of a man who had been absent from him (when he appears again) upon seeing it. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording.
