Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْصُوا لِي كَمْ يَلْفِظُ الْإِسْلَامَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّ مِائَةِ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْ تُبْتَلَوْا قَالَ فَابْتُلِينَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah told us, al-A'mash told us, from Shaqiq, from Hudhayfah, he said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Count for me how many pronounce Islam." We said: "O Messenger of God, do you fear for us while we are between six hundred and seven hundred?" He said: "You do not know; perhaps you will be tried." He said: "So we were tried, until a man among us would not pray except in secret."
