Sahih al-Bukhari 1024 (Book 16, Hadith 13)
The people were standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying too. I asked her, ‘What has
happened to the people?’ She pointed out with her hand towards the sky and said, ‘Subhan-Allah’. I
said, ‘Is there a sign?’ She pointed out in the affirmative.” Asma’ further said, “I too then stood up for
the prayer till I fainted and then poured water on my head. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had finished his
prayer, he thanked and praised Allah and said, ‘I have seen at this place of mine what I have never
seen even Paradise and Hell. No doubt, it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trial in the
graves like or nearly like the trial of (Masih) Ad-Dajjal. (I do not know which one of the two Asma’
said.) (The angels) will come to everyone of you and will ask what do you know about this man (i.e.
Muhammad). The believer or a firm believer (I do not know which word Asma’ said) will reply, ‘He is
Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) who came to us with clear evidences and guidance, so we
accepted his teachings, believed and followed him.’ The angels will then say to him, ‘Sleep peacefully
as we knew surely that you were a firm believer.’ The hypocrite or doubtful person (I do not know
which word Asma’ said) will say, ‘I do not know. I heard the people saying something so I said it (the
same).’ “
“ مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ، وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ مِثْلَ ـ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ ـ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ ـ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ يُؤْتَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ ـ أَوِ الْمُوقِنُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى، فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا وَاتَّبَعْنَا. فَيُقَالُ لَهُ نَمْ صَالِحًا، فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمُوقِنًا. وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ ـ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي، سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ ”.
