Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّى كَانَا رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ مَعَ أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَذَكَرْتُ مَا كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ قَالَ وَمَاذَاكَ ذَاكَ قُلْتُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّى كَانَا رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ مَعَ وَلَدِي وَأَهْلِي فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأَنْتُمْ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَبِالطُّرُقِ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً.
English Translation
Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri told us, Sufyan told us from al-Jurayri from Abu Uthman from Hanzala, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and we mentioned Paradise and the Fire until they became almost as if seen with the eye. Then I got up and went to my family, and I laughed and played with my family and children, and I remembered the state I had been in with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. So I went out and met Abu Bakr, and I said: "O Abu Bakr, Hanzala has become a hypocrite!" He said: "What is that?" I said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and we mentioned Paradise and the Fire until they became almost as if seen with the eye, then I went to my family and laughed and played with my children and family." He said: "Indeed, we do that too." So I went to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and mentioned that to him, and he said: "O Hanzala, if you were to remain in the state you are in with me, when in your houses, the angels would shake hands with you, upon your beds and in the roads. O Hanzala, [there is] a time and a time."
