Narrated Abu Wail: Hudhaifa said; Umar said; Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah Messenger ﷺ ﷺ about afflictions? I said; I know it as the Prophet ﷺ had said it. Umar said; No doubt; you are bold. How did he say it? I said; A man afflictions wrong deeds concerning his wife; children and neighbors are expiated by his prayers; charity; and enjoining good. The sub-narrator Sulaiman added that he said; The prayer; charity; enjoining good and forbidding evil. Umar said; I did not mean that; but I ask about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea. I said; O chief of the believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it. He asked; Will the door be broken or opened? I replied; No; it will be broken. He said; Then; if it is broken; it will never be closed again? I replied; Yes. Then we were afraid to ask what that door was; so we asked Masruq to inquire; and he asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said; The door was Umar. We further asked Hudhaifa whether Umar knew what that door meant. Hudhaifa replied in the affirmative and added; He knew it as one knows that there will be a night before the tomorrow morning.
