He said: Abu Bakr
Muhammad b. Umar al-Je'abi reported to me from Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Sulaiman
al-Baghandi, who reported from Harun b. Hatim, who reported from
Ismail b. Tawbah, who reported from Mas'ab b. Sallam, from Abu Ishaq, from
Rabee'ah al-Sa'd, who said:
I came to Hudhaifah
b. al-Yaman, may Allah have mercy on him, and requested him to relate to me
what he heard from the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, or what he
saw him do, so that I may follow it.
He said:
"Remain with the Qur'an." I said: "I have read the Qur'an, I
have come to you to know of what I have neither seen or heard. O Allah! I make
you my witness on Hudhaifah, that I have come to him so that he may narrate to
me what I have not seen nor heard about the Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him
and his progeny, but he is refusing me, and hiding it from me."
Hudhaifah said:
"O brother, you are pressing me hard." Then he said: "Take this short
one from a long list, which contains all, that matters to you. The sign of Paradise
for this Ummah is (personified in) the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny,
(though) he ate food (like us) and strolled in the markets."
Then I said to him:
"Guide me to the sign of Paradise (now) so that I may follow it, and show
me the sign of hell, so that I may guard myself against it."
He said: "By
Him Who controls my soul, the sign of Paradise and its true guides till the Day
of Resurrection are the true Imams from the descendents of Muhammad, peace be upon
him and his progeny. And the sign of hellfire and the leaders unto unbelief and
hell, up to the Day of Resurrection, are other than them.
