Abu Idrees Al-Khoolaanee related that he heard Hudhaifah ibn
Al-Yamaan say, “The people would ask the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. about good
and I used to ask him about evil, fearing that it would reach me.”
So I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, indeed we used to be in
ignorance and evil, and then Allah s.w.t. gave us this good. And after good
will there be evil?’
He s.a.w. said ‘Yes.’
‘And after that evil will there be good?’ I asked.
‘Yes, but that (good) will have shortcomings and defects.’
I asked, ‘And what are its shortcomings and defects?’
He s.a.w. said, ‘A people who will be guided by other than
my way; some of their deeds you will find laudable (deserving praise) and others you will
repudiate (rejected).’
I asked, ‘And after that good will there be evil?’
He s.a.w said, ‘Yes, callers upon the doors of the Hellfire;
whoever answers them their call, will be thrown by them in it.’
I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.’
He s.a.w. said, ‘They are from our people and they speak our
tongue.’
I asked, ‘And what do you order me to do if that reaches
me?’
He s.a.w. said, ‘Adhere to the Jamaa’ah of the Muslims and
to their Imam.’
I said, ‘And if they have neither Imam nor Jamaa’ah?’
He s.a.w. said, ‘Withdraw yourself from all of those groups,
even if that means for you to bite on the root of a tree until death overcomes
you while you are upon that state.’”
