Narrated Hudhaifa: Once Umar Bin AlKhattab said; said; Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah Apostle regarding the afflictions? Hudhaifa replied; I remember what he said exactly. Umar said. Tell us ; you are really a daring man! Hudhaifa said; Allah Messenger ﷺ said; A man afflictions i.e. wrong deeds concerning his relation to his family; his property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers; giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil. Umar said; I dont mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea. Hudhaifa replied; O chief of the believers! You need not fear those afflictions as there is a closed door between you and them. Umar asked; Will that door be opened or broken? Hudhaifa replied; No; it will be broken. Umar said; Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again. Later on the people asked Hudhaifa; Did Umar know what that door meant? He said. Yes; Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to Umar an authentic narration; not lies. We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him; What does the door stand for? He said; Umar.
