Shahih Muslim - 3343

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair bin Harb] dan [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] semuanya dari [Jarir], [Zuhair] berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Ibrahim At Taimi] dari [ayahnya] dia berkata, "Suatu ketika kami berada di dekat [Hudzaifah], tiba-tiba ada seorang laki-laki yang berkata, "Seandainya aku mendapatkan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, niscaya aku akan berperang bersama beliau dan aku akan bersungguh-sunbgguh." Hudzaifah berkata, "Betulkah kalian akan berbuat seperti itu?" aku sendiri pernah mengalami perang bersama Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ketika perang Ahzab. Saat itu kami diserang oleh angin yang sangat kencang dan udara yang dingin. Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Adakah seseorang yang sanggup mencari berita tentang musuh? Maka Allah akan menempatkannya bersamaku kelak di hari Kiamat." Semuanya diam, dan tidak ada satupun yang menjawab. Kemudian beliau bertanya lagi: "Adakah seseorang yang sanggup mencari berita tentang musuh? Maka Allah akan menempatkannya bersamaku kelak di hari Kiamat." Semuanya diam, dan tidak ada satupun yang menjawab. Kemudian beliau bertanya pula: "Adakah seseorang yang sanggup mencari berita tentang musuh? Maka Allah akan menempatkannya bersamaku kelak di hari Kiamat." Kami masih terdiam semuanya, dan tidak ada satupun yang menjawab. Lalu beliau bersabda: "Wahai Hudzaifah, berdiri dan carilah kabar mengenai musuh!" Maka tidak bisa tidak, aku harus berdiri, karena beliau jelas memanggil namaku. Beliau bersabda: "Pergi dan carilah kabar mengenai musuh, dan jangan kamu mengagetkan mereka tentang diriku." Tatkala aku telah berpaling dari sisi beliau, seakan-akan aku berjalan dengan kehangatan (tidak seperti yng lain dalam kedinginan-red), sehingga aku mendatangi mereka, lantas aku melihat Abu Sufyan yang sedang menghangatkan badannya dengan api, maka aku langsung menaruh anak panah pada busurnya dan hendak memanahnya, sekiranya aku tidak ingat dengan pesan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam: "Jangan kamu mengagetkan mereka dengan diriku." Niscaya aku telah panah dan akan mengenainya. Lalu aku kembali sambil berjalan kaki dengan kehangatan, kemudian aku menemui beliau dan melaporkan mengenai kondisi musuh, setelah itu aku pergi, tiba-tiba diriku mulai merasakan kedinginan, maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memakaikanku kain burdah yang biasa dipakai beliau untuk shalat, kemudian aku tertidur sampai pagi, keesokan harinya beliau bersabda: "Bangun wahai orang yang banyak tidur." (HR. Muslim: 3343)

It has been narrated by Ibrahim al-Taimi on the authority of his father who said: We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa. A man said: If I were in the time of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), I would have fought by his side and would have striven hard for his causes. Hudhaifa said: You might have done that, (but you should not make a flourish of your enthusiasm). I was with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the night of the Battle of Abzib and we were gripped by a violent wind and severe cold. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be him) said: Hark, the man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We all kept quiet and none of us responed to him. (Again) he said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgment by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted). We kept quiet and none of us responded to him. He again said: Hark, a man who (goes reconnoitring and) brings me the news of the enemy shall be ranked with me on the Day of Judgtuent by Allah (the Glorious and Exalted) Then he said: Get up Hudhaifa, bring me the news of the enemy. When he called me by name I had no alternative but to get up. He said: Go and bring me information about the enemy, and do nothing that may provoke them against me. When I left him, I felt warm as if I were walking in a heated bath untill I reached them. I saw Abu Sufyan warming his back against fire I put an arrow in the middle of the bow. intending to shoot at him, when I recalled the words of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)" Do not provoke them against me." Had I shot at him, I would have hit him. But I returned and (felt warm as if) I were walking in a heated bath (hammam). Presenting myself before him, I gave him information about the enemy. When I had done so, I began to feel cold, so the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) wrapped me in a blanket that he had in excess to his own requirement and with which he used to cover himself while saying his prayers. So I continued to sleep until it was morning. When it was morning he said: Get up, O heavy sleeper. (Muslim: 3343)
