Sahih al-Bukhari #7010
Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَالنَّاسُ قِيَامٌ وَهْىَ قَائِمَةٌ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ. فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ. قَالَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ نَعَمْ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ
" مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي، حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ، وَأُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ ـ أَوِ الْمُسْلِمُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا. فَيُقَالُ نَمْ صَالِحًا عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ مُوقِنٌ. وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ ـ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ ".
I came to `Aisha during the solar eclipse. The people were standing (offering prayer) and she too, was
standing and offering prayer. I asked, "What is wrong with the people?" She pointed towards the sky
with her hand and said, Subhan Allah!'' I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head
meaning, yes. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) finished (the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and said,
"There is not anything that I have not seen before but I have seen now at this place of mine, even
Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me that you people will be put to trial nearly like the trial of
Ad-Dajjal, in your graves. As for the true believer or a Muslim (the sub-narrator is not sure as to
which of the two (words Asma' had said) he will say, 'Muhammad came with clear signs from Allah,
and we responded to him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what he said)' It will be said (to him)
'Sleep in peace; we have known that you were a true believer who believed with certainty.' As for a
hypocrite or a doubtful person, (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which word Asma' said) he will say,
'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said the same.' "
