حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ مِنْ عِنْدِ عُمَرَ قَالَ لَمَّا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَمْسِ سَأَلَ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْفِتَنِ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ سَمِعْنَاهُ قَالَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْنُونَ فِتْنَةَ الرَّجُلِ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ قَالُوا أَجَلْ قَالَ لَسْتُ عَنْ تِلْكَ أَسْأَلُ تِلْكَ يُكَفِّرُهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ وَلَكِنْ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْفِتَنِ الَّتِي تَمُوجُ مَوْجَ الْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ إِيَّايَ يُرِيدُ قُلْتُ أَنَا قَالَ لِي أَنْتَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ تُعْرَضُ الْفِتَنُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ عَرْضَ الْحَصِيرِ فَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أَنْكَرَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ وَأَيُّ قَلْبٍ أُشْرِبَهَا نُكِتَتْ فِيهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ الْقَلْبُ عَلَى قَلْبَيْنِ أَبْيَضَ مِثْلِ الصَّفَا لَا يَضُرُّهُ فِتْنَةٌ مَا دَامَتْ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَالْآخَرِ أَسْوَدَ مُرْبَدٍّ كَالْكُوزِ مُخْجِيًا وَأَمَالَ كَفَّهُ لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا إِلَّا مَا أُشْرِبَ مِنْ هَوَاهُ.

Yazid b. Harun told us, Abu Malik told us, from Rib'i b. Hirash, from Hudhayfah: that he came from 'Umar's presence, and said: "When we sat with him yesterday, he asked the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Which of you heard the saying of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) about the tribulations?' They said: 'We heard it.' He said: 'Perhaps you mean the tribulation of a man in his family and his wealth?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I am not asking about that - that is expiated by prayer, fasting, and charity - but which of you heard the saying of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) about the tribulations that surge like the surging of the sea?'" He said: The people fell silent, and I thought he meant me. I said: "I did." He said to me: "You - may your father belong to God!" He said: I said: "The tribulations are presented to hearts as a woven mat, straw by straw; whatever heart rejects them, a white mark is imprinted in it, and whatever heart absorbs them, a black mark is imprinted in it - until the heart becomes one of two kinds: one white like a smooth stone, which no tribulation will harm as long as the heavens and earth endure, and the other black, ash-colored, like an overturned vessel" - and he turned his palm over - "knowing no good and rejecting no evil, except what it has absorbed of its own desire."
