37. Chapters on the description of the Day of Judgement, Ar-Riqaq, and Al-Wara' - كتاب صفة القيامة والرقائق والورع عن رسول الله صلى الله
Abu 'Uthman narrated from Hanzalah Al-Usaidi - and he was
one of the scribes of the Messenger
of Allah (saws); - that he passed by
Abu Bakr while he was crying, so
he (Abu Bakr) said to him: "What
is wrong with you, 0 Hanzalah?"
He replied: "Hanzalah has become
a hypocrite 0 Abu Bakr! When we
are with the Messenger of Allah (saws)
we remember the Fire and
Paradise as if we are looking at
them with the naked eye. But when
we return we busy ourselves with
our wives and livelihood and we
forget so much." He (Abu Bakr)
said: "By Allah! The same thing
happens to me. Let us go to the
Messenger of Allah (saws)." (Hanzalah
said): "So we went." When the
Messenger of Allah (saws) saw him, he
said: "What is wrong with you 0
Hanzalah?" He said: "Hanzalah
has become a hypocrite 0
Messenger of Allah! When we are
with you we remember the Fire
and Paradise as if we can see them
with the naked eye. But when we
return we are busy with our wives
and livelihood, and we forget so
much." He said: "So the Messenger
of Allah (saws) said: 'If you were to
abide in the state that you are in
when you are with me, then the
Angels would shake hands with you
in your gatherings, and upon your
bedding, and in your paths. But 0
Hanzalah! There is a time for this
and a time for that."
