Virtues
and Merits of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 56 :: Hadith 786 Narrated Hudhaifa:
Once
'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, said, "Who amongst you remembers the statement
of Allah's Apostle regarding the afflictions?" Hudhaifa replied, "I
remember what he said exactly." 'Umar said. "Tell (us), you are
really a daring man!'' Hudhaifa said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'A man's
afflictions (i.e. wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his
property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, giving in charity and
enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.' " 'Umar said,
"I don't mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving
up and down like waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "O chief of the
believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door
between you and them." 'Umar asked, "Will that door be opened or
broken?" Hudhaifa replied, "No, it will be broken." 'Umar said,
"Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again."
Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, "Did 'Umar know what that door
meant?" He said. "Yes, 'Umar knew it as everyone knows that there
will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to 'Umar an authentic
narration, not lies." We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested
Masruq who asked him, "What does the door stand for?" He said,
"Umar."
*Note:Umar
r.a was martyred,after that Uthman r.a became Khalifa,later he was martyred,and
Ummah faced many difficulties,war between Sahaba etc.
Fasting Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 31 :: Hadith 119
Narrated Abu Wail from Hudhaifa:
Umar
asked the people, "Who remembers the narration of the Prophet about the
affliction?" Hudhaifa said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'The
affliction of a person in his property, family and neighbors is expiated by his
prayers, fasting, and giving in charity." 'Umar said, "I do not
ask about that, but I ask about those afflictions which will spread like the
waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "There is a closed gate in front
of those afflictions." 'Umar asked, "Will that gate be opened or
broken?" He replied, "It will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then
the gate will not be closed again till the Day of Resurrection." We said
to Masruq, "Would you ask Hudhaifa whether 'Umar knew what that gate
symbolized?" He asked him and he replied "He ('Umar) knew it as one
knows that there will be night before tomorrow, morning.

Marriage (Nikaah) Bukhari :: Book 7 ::
Volume 62 :: Hadith 33 Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
The
Prophet said, "After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men
than women."
Mu'az
bin Jabal (ra) said to Raja' bin Haiwa:
"Your
earlier trials consisted of harsh adversities and you had limited resources
towards which you exercised extreme patience and
endurance,
however, your future trials will consist of comfort and prosperity.
Furthermore, the most I fear for you are the trials of
women,
and the time will come when women will adorm their forearms with bracelets of
gold and silver decorated alike with matching
bangles,
and that will become the fashion, and then, they will be dressed up with damask
linen and silk from Syria, and they will tie up
their
heads with embellished headbands and ligatures from Yemen, and then women will
become a burden for the rich and a worry for the poor."
[narrated
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal]
64:14.
O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies
for you (i.e. may stop you from the obedience of Allâh), therefore beware of
them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then
verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Allah
states that some wives and children are enemies to their husbands and fathers,
in that they might be busied with them rather than with performing the good
deeds. Allah said in another Ayah,
﴿يأَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
لاَ تُلْهِكُمْ
أَمْوَلُكُمْ
وَلاَ أَوْلَـدُكُمْ
عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
وَمَن يَفْعَلْ
ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ
هُمُ الْخَـسِرُونَ
﴾
(O
you who believe! Let not your properties or you children divert you from the
remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that then they are the losers.) (63:9)
Allah the Exalted said here,
﴿فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ﴾
(therefore,
beware of them!) for your religion, according to Ibn Zayd. Mujahid explained the
Ayah ,
﴿إِنَّ
مِنْ أَزْوَجِكُمْ
وَأَوْلـدِكُمْ
عَدُوّاً لَّكُمْ﴾
(Verily,
among your wives and your children there are enemies for you;) by saying,
"They might direct the man to sever his relation or disobey his Lord. The
man, who loves his wives and children, might obey them in this case.'' Ibn Abi
Hatim recorded that Ibn `Abbas said to a man who asked him about this Ayah,
﴿يأَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَجِكُمْ
وَأَوْلـدِكُمْ
عَدُوّاً لَّكُمْ
فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ﴾
(O you
who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies for
you; therefore beware of them!) "There were men who embraced Islam in
Makkah and wanted to migrate to Allah's Messenger . However, their wives and
children refused to allow them. Later when they joined Allah's Messenger , they
found that those who were with him (the Companions) have gained knowledge in
the religion, so they were about to punish their wives and children. Allah the
Exalted sent down this Ayah,
﴿وَإِن
تَعْفُواْ وَتَصْفَحُواْ
وَتَغْفِرُواْ
فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ
غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾
(But
if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive, then verily, Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.)'' At-Tirmidhi collected this Hadith and said
that it is Hasan Sahih. Allah's statement,
﴿إِنَّمَآ
أَمْوَلُكُمْ
وَأَوْلَـدُكُمْ
فِتْنَةٌ وَاللَّهُ
عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ
عَظِيمٌ ﴾
(Your
wealth and your children are only a Fintah, whereas Allah! With Him is a great
reward.) Allah said that the wealth and children are a test and trial from
Allah the Exalted for His creatures, so that He knows those who obey Him and
those who disobey Him. Allah's statement,
﴿وَاللَّهُ
عِنْدَهُ﴾
(whereas
Allah! With Him) meaning, on the Day of Resurrection,
﴿أَجْرٌ
عَظِيمٌ﴾
(is
a great reward.) As Allah said;
﴿زُيِّنَ
لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ
الشَّهَوَتِ مِنَ
النِّسَآءِ وَالْبَنِينَ
وَالْقَنَـطِيرِ
الْمُقَنطَرَةِ
مِنَ الذَّهَبِ
وَالْفِضَّةِ
وَالْخَيْلِ الْمُسَوَّمَةِ
وَالأَنْعَـمِ
وَالْحَرْثِ ذَلِكَ
مَتَـعُ الْحَيَوةِ
الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ
عِندَهُ حُسْنُ
الْمَأَبِ ﴾
(Beautified
for men is the love of things they covet; women children, Qanatir Al-Muqantarah
of gold and silver, branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This
is the pleasure of the present world's life; but Allah has the excellent return
with him.) (3:14), and the Ayah after it. Imam Ahmad recorded that Buraydah
said, "The Messenger of Allah was giving a speech and Al-Hasan and Husayn
came in wearing red shirts, walking and tripping. The Messenger descended from
the Minbar, held them and placed them in front of them and said,
«صَدَقَ
اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ
وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ
فِتْنَةٌ، نَظَرْتُ
إِلَى هَذَيْنِ
الصَّبِيَّيْنِ
يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ،
فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ
حَتْى قَطَعْتُ
حَدِيثِي وَرَفَعْتُهُمَا»
(Allah
and His Messenger said the truth,`Verily, your wealth and your children are a
Fitnah.' I saw these two boys walking and tripping and could not be patient
until I stopped my speech and picked them up.)'' This was recorded by the Sunan
compilers, and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Gharib.''

Allah's Messenger (peace be
upon him) said, "The magnitude of the reward goes along with the magnitude
of the affliction. When Allah who is Great and Glorious loves people He
afflicts them, and those who accept it gladly receive Allah's good pleasure,
but those who are displeased receive Allah's displeasure.

When the Prophet (peace be
upon him) was asked which people suffered the greatest affliction, he replied,
"The prophets, then those who come next to them, then those who come next
to them. A man is afflicted in keeping his religion. If he is firm in his
religion his trial is severe, but if there is weakness in his religion it is
made light for him, and it continues like that till he walks on the earth
having no sin."
Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Darimi
transmitted it, and Tirmidhi said this is a hasan sahih tradition.
