Sahih al-Bukhari 7010 (Book 96, Hadith 18)
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.’ “
“ 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 ”.
