Tribulations
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" يَدْرُسُ الإِسْلاَمُ كَمَا يَدْرُسُ وَشْىُ الثَّوْبِ حَتَّى لاَ يُدْرَى مَا صِيَامٌ وَلاَ صَلاَةٌ وَلاَ نُسُكٌ وَلاَ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيُسْرَى عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَلاَ يَبْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْهُ آيَةٌ وَتَبْقَى طَوَائِفُ مِنَ النَّاسِ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْعَجُوزُ يَقُولُونَ أَدْرَكْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُهَا " . فَقَالَ لَهُ صِلَةُ مَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَدْرُونَ مَا صَلاَةٌ وَلاَ صِيَامٌ وَلاَ نُسُكٌ وَلاَ صَدَقَةٌ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَالَ يَا صِلَةُ تُنْجِيهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ . ثَلاَثًا .
“Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wears
out, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites
and charity are. The Book of Allah will be taken away at night, and
not one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be some
people left, old men and old women, who will say: “We saw our
fathers saying these words: ‘La ilaha illallah’ so we say them
too.” Silah said to him: “What good will (saying): La ilaha
illallah do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer,
(pilgrimage) rites and charity are?” Hudhaifah turned away from
his. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned away
from him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said:
“O Silah! It will save them from Hell,” three times.
Narrated by It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
Context
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) warns that Islam will fade away like embroidery on a garment, leading to a time when the fundamental practices of fasting, prayer, pilgrimage, and charity will be forgotten. He describes a scenario where the Quran will be taken away, leaving only a few elderly people who remember the phrase 'La ilaha illallah' without understanding its significance. This highlights the importance of knowledge and practice in Islam.
Modern Application
This hadith serves as a reminder of the need to actively engage with and learn about Islamic teachings. In today's world, where misinformation can spread easily, it is crucial for individuals to seek knowledge and understand the core principles of their faith to ensure that they are not merely repeating phrases without comprehension.
Topics
This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Truthfulness because it emphasizes the fading of true Islamic practices and the importance of understanding one's faith in preparation for the Day of Judgment.

And leave those who take their religion as amusement and diversion and whom the worldly life has deluded. But remind with the Qur'an, lest a soul be given up to destruction for what it earned; it will have other than Allah no protector and no intercessor. And if it should offer every compensation, it would not be taken from it. Those are the ones who are given to destruction for what they have earned. For them will be a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
