Takhrij Hadith 1364: "We were with ʿUmar when…"

We were with ʿUmar when he said: “Which of you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention the trials?” Some people said: “We heard him mention them.” He said: “Perhaps you mean the trial a man experiences concerning his family and his neighbor?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “That is expiated by prayer, fasting, and charity. But which of you heard the Prophet ﷺ mention the trials that surge like the waves of the sea?” Hudhayfah said: The people fell silent, so I said: “I did.” He said: “You? May your father be blessed by Allah” Hudhayfah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Trials will be presented to hearts like a reed mat, stick by stick. Any heart that absorbs them will have a black mark placed upon it, while any heart that rejects them will have a white mark placed upon it, until hearts become of two kinds: one white like a smooth stone, which no trial will harm as long as the heavens and the earth remain; and the other black and dust-colored, like an overturned vessel, knowing neither what is right nor rejecting what is wrong, except what it has absorbed of its desires.” Hudhayfah said: “And I told him that between you and those trials there is a closed door which is about to be broken.” ʿUmar said: “Broken? May you have no father! If it were opened, perhaps it could be closed again.” I said: “No, rather it will be broken.” And I told him that the door will be a man who would be killed or die—a hadith without any falsehood.”
