Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ حِينَ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ، فَقَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ فِيهَا أُمُورًا عِظَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَلْيَسْأَلْ، فَلاَ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ أَخْبَرْتُكُمْ مَا دُمْتُ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِي الْبُكَاءِ، وَأَكْثَرَ أَنْ يَقُولَ ‏"‏ سَلُونِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيُّ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي قَالَ ‏"‏ أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَكْثَرَ أَنْ يَقُولَ ‏"‏ سَلُونِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَبَرَكَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا‏.‏ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ عُرِضَتْ عَلَىَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ آنِفًا فِي عُرْضِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Yaman narrated to us: Shu‘aib informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Anas bin Malik informed me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out after the sun had passed its zenith and prayed the noon prayer. He stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Hour, saying that momentous events would take place then. He said, ‘Whoever wishes to ask about something, let him ask me. You will not ask me anything while I am standing here without my telling you.’ The people wept greatly, and he repeatedly said, ‘Ask me.’ ‘Abdullah bin Hudhafa al-Sahmi stood and asked, ‘Who is my father?’ He said, ‘Your father is Hudhafa.’ He continued saying, ‘Ask me.’ ‘Umar knelt and said, ‘We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet.’ The Prophet fell silent, then said, ‘Just now Paradise and the Fire were displayed to me on this wall. I have never seen anything like good and evil.’
