Fasting - 19th Dhul-Qa'da 1425 (1 January 2005)
Narrated Abu Wail from Hudhaifa (Radhiallaho anho):
Umar (Radhiallaho anho) asked the people, "Who remembers the
narration of the Prophet (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) about
the affliction?" Hudhaifa said, "I heard the Prophet saying,
'The affliction of a person in his property, family and
neighbors is expiated by his prayers, fasting, and giving in
charity." 'Umar said, "I do not ask about that, but I ask
about those afflictions which will spread like the waves of
the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "There is a closed gate in front
of those afflictions." 'Umar asked, "Will that gate be opened
or broken?" He replied, "It will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then
the gate will not be closed again till the Day of
Resurrection." We said to Masruq, "Would you ask Hudhaifa
whether 'Umar knew what that gate symbolized?" He asked him
and he replied "He ('Umar) knew it as one knows that there will
be night before tomorrow, morning.
