Hudhaifah,
may Allah be pleased with him, narrated:
We were sitting in the company of
'Umar
and he asked: Who among you has heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) talking about the turmoil? Some people said: It is we who heard it. Upon this he remarked: Perhaps by turmoil you presume the discord between man and his household or neighbor. They replied: Yes. He ('Umar) observed: Such (a discord) would be expiated by the Prayer, Fasting and Charity. But who among you has heard the Messenger (may peace be upon him) describing that turmoil which would come like the wave of the ocean.
Hudhaifah
said: The people hushed into silence. I replied: It is I. He ('Umar) said: Yes, well, Allah bless your father.
Hudhaifah
said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: Temptations will be presented to men's hearts as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which is impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it, but any heart which rejects them will have a white mark put in it. The result is that there will become two types of hearts: one white like a white stone which will not be harmed by any turmoil or temptation, so long as the heavens and the earth endure; and the other black and dust-colored like a vessel which is upset, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what is abominable, but being impregnated with passion.
