Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28416

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, Abu Dawud told us, Shu’bah told us, on the authority of Al-A’mash, Hammad, and Asim bin Bahdala. They heard Abu Wa’il, On the authority of Hudhayfah, he said, Omar said, “Which of you remembers what the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said regarding sedition?” Hudhayfah said, “I am.” Hudhayfah said. A man’s temptation in his family, his wealth, his children, and his neighbor is expiated by prayer, fasting, charity, and enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. Omar said, “I am not asking you about this, but about the sedition that is rippling like the waves of the sea.” He said, “O Commander of the Faithful, it is between you.” And between them is a closed door. Omar said, “Should it be opened or broken?” He said, “Rather, it will be broken.” He said, “Then it will not be closed until the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Wael said in The hadith of Hammad. So I said to Masruq, “Ask Hudhayfah about the door.” He asked him and he said, “Umar.” Abu Issa said, “This is an authentic hadith.”
