Narrated Shaqiq:that he had heard Hudhaifa saying, "Once I was sitting with `Umar and he said, 'Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the afflictions?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had said it.' `Umar said, 'No doubt you are bold.' I said, 'The afflictions caused for a man by his wife, money, children and neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is good) and forbidding (what is evil).' `Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said, 'O leader of the faithful believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.' `Umar asked, Will the door be broken or opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' `Umar said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I was asked whether `Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free from any misstatement" The subnarrator added that they deputized Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door was `Umar himself."

Sahih
It is related that Hudhayfa was heard to say, "We were sitting with 'Umar who said, 'Does anyone amongst you remember what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said about trial and tribulation (fitna)?' I spoke up, 'I do, exactly as he said it.' He asked, 'You are bold enough for it.' I said, 'The trial (fitna) of a man in respect of his wife, wealth, children and neighbours is expiated by prayer, fasting, sadaqa, and by commanding what is right and forbidding what is wrong.' He said, 'That is not what I meant, but rather the tribulation which spreads like the waves of the sea.' Hudhayfa said, 'You have nothing to fear from it, Amir al-Mu'minin! There is a closed door between you and it.' He said, 'Will it be broken down or opened?' Hudhayfa replied, 'It will be broken down.' He said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' We said, 'Did 'Umar know what the door was?' Hudhayfa said, 'Yes, as surely as night follows day. I related to him a hadith without any mistakes in it." Shaqiq said, "We were afraid to ask Hudhayfa and told Masruq and he asked him. Hudhayfa said, "The door was 'Umar."
