Al-Imām al-Bukhārī - upon whom be mercy - narrates: Ismā’īl narrated to us; he said: Imām Mālik narrated to me, from Hishām ibn ‘Urwah, from his wife Fāṭimah,

from her grandmother, Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr (may Allāh Almighty be content with her), who said: I came to the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allāh Almighty be content with her), at a time when the sun had been eclipsed. The people were standing and praying, and ‘Ā’ishah was also standing, praying. I asked, “What is the matter with the people?” She gestured with her hand toward the sky and said, “Subḥānallāh!” I asked, “Is this a sign?” She indicated, “Yes.” So I stood up (to pray) until I was overcome by faintness, and I began pouring water over my head. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer and turned (to the people), he praised and glorified Allah, then said: “I have seen in this place of mine things which I had never seen before, even Paradise and Hell. And it has been revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves with a trial similar to, or close to, the trial of the Dajjāl.” The narrator says: I do not remember exactly what Asmā’ said next. “A person will be brought, and it will be said to him: ‘What did you know about this man?’ As for the believer—or the one of firm conviction,” the narrator says, “I do not know which expression Asmā’ used—he will say: ‘He is Muḥammad (ﷺ), the Messenger of Allāh. He came to us with clear proofs and guidance, so we accepted his call, believed in him, and followed him.’ It will then be said to him: ‘Sleep in peace. Indeed, we knew that you were a believer.’” “As for the hypocrite or the one in doubt,” the narrator says, “I do not know which expression Asmā’ used—he will say: ‘I do not know; I heard people saying something, so I said the same…’”
