Sahih Muslim: Book 50, Hadith 15
الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
فَوَعَظَنَا فَذَكَّرَ النَّارَ – قَالَ – ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَضَاحَكْتُ الصِّبْيَانَ وَلاَعَبْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ –
قَالَ – فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا تَذْكُرُ . فَلَقِينَا
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ فَقَالَ ” مَهْ ” . فَحَدَّثْتُهُ
بِالْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَنَا قَدْ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ فَقَالَ ” يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً وَلَوْ
كَانَتْ تَكُونُ قُلُوبُكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الذِّكْرِ لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ حَتَّى تُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الطُّرُقِ

Sahih Muslim: Book 50, Hadith 15
The above hadith is from the Sahih Muslim collection of hadiths. As a primary source for Islamic law and practice, Sahih Muslim is an indispensable collection. Its creation is credited to the dedicated efforts of Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj, who finalized his work around the year 875. This text is universally accepted as one of the two most authentic books of hadith, sharing this distinguished status with Sahih al-Bukhari. Together, they are part of the six revered collections called the Kutub al-Sittah. The Sahih Muslim itself is a large volume, containing roughly 7,459 separate hadith reports that are carefully categorized within a framework of 56 books.
