Volume 9, Book 92, Number 381:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah’s Apostle said to us, “Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the
hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and the people read the Quran,
(and learnt it from it) and also learnt it from the Sunna.” Both Quran and Sunna strengthened their
(the faithful believers’) honesty. (See Hadith No. 208)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 92: HOLDING FAST TO THE QUR’AN AND SUNNAH
Volume 9, Book 91, Number 360:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said to the people of Najran, “I will send to you an honest person who is really trust –
worthy.” The Companion, of the Prophet each desired to be that person, but the Prophet sent Abu
‘Ubaida.
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 244:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said about Ad-Dajjal that he would have water and fire with him: (what would seem
to be) fire, would be cold water and (what would seem to be) water, would be fire.
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 208:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah’s Apostle related to us, two prophetic narrations one of which I have seen fulfilled and I am
waiting for the fulfillment of the other. The Prophet told us that the virtue of honesty descended in
the roots of men’s hearts (from Allah) and then they learned it from the Qur’an and then they
learned it from the Sunna (the Prophet’s traditions). The Prophet further told us how that honesty
will be taken away: He said: “Man will go to sleep during which honesty will be taken away from his
heart and only its trace will remain in his heart like the trace of a dark spot; then man will go to
sleep, during which honesty will decrease further still, so that its trace will resemble the trace of
blister as when an ember is dropped on one’s foot which would make it swell, and one would see it
swollen but there would be nothing inside. People would be carrying out their trade but hardly will
there be a trustworthy person. It will be said, ‘in such-and-such tribe there is an honest man,’ and
later it will be said about some man, ‘What a wise, polite and strong man he is!’ Though he will not
have faith equal even to a mustard seed in his heart.” No doubt, there came upon me a time when I
did not mind dealing (bargaining) with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim his Islam would com –
pel him to pay me what is due to me, and if he was a Christian, the Muslim official would compel
him to pay me what is due to me, but today I do not deal except with such-and-such person.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 88: AFFLICTIONS AND THE END OF THE WORLD
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 601:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet once delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left nothing but mentioned (about)
everything that would happen till the Hour. Some of us stored that our minds and some forgot it.
(After that speech) I used to see events taking place (which had been referred to in that speech) but I
had forgotten them (before their occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as a man recog –
nizes another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes him.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 504:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah’s Apostle narrated to us two narrations, one of which I have seen (happening) and I am
waiting for the other. He narrated that honesty was preserved in the roots of the hearts of men (in
the beginning) and then they learnt it (honesty) from the Qur’an, and then they learnt it from the
(Prophet’s) Sunna (tradition). He also told us about its disappearance, saying, “A man will go to sleep
whereupon honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain, resembling the
traces of fire. He then will sleep whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away
(from his heart) and its trace will resemble a blister which is raised over the surface of skin, when an
ember touches one’s foot; and in fact, this blister does not contain anything. So there will come a day
when people will deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any trustworthy persons
among them. Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who
is honest, and a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, though indeed
he will not have belief equal to a mustard seed in his heart.” The narrator added: There came upon
me a time when I did not mind dealing with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion
would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him
from cheating; but today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so. (See Hadith No. 208,
Vol. 9)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 76: TO MAKE THE HEART TENDER (AR-RIQAQ)
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 487:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said, “There was a man amongst the people who had suspicion as to the righteousness
of his deeds. Therefore he said to his family, ‘If I die, take me and burn my corpse and throw my
ashes into the sea on a hot (or windy) day.’ They did so, but Allah, collected his particles and asked
(him), What made you do what you did?’ He replied, ‘The only thing that made me do it, was that I
was afraid of You.’ So Allah forgave him.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 336:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Whenever the Prophet intended to go to bed, he would recite: “Bismika Allahumma amutu wa
ahya (With Your name, O Allah, I die and I live).” And when he woke up from his sleep, he would
say: “Al-hamdu lil-lahil-ladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana; wa ilaihi an-nushur (All the Praises are for
Allah Who has made us alive after He made us die (sleep) and unto Him is the Resurrection). “
