It is reported by Imaam
Muslim in his Saheeh [Kitaab al-Fitan (2893)] on the authority of Junub [May
Allaah be Pleased with him] that he said:
I came on the day of
al-Jaza’ah [This was the day when the people of Koofah gave allegiance to
‘Uthmaan bin ‘Affaan (See: Sharh Saheeh Muslim by an-Nawawee, 18/232)]. A man came
and I said to him, “This is a place where blood will be shed.” The man said,
“No, that will never happen.” I replied, “Of course it will.” He said again, “No, that will never happen.”
I said, “Of course it will.” He said, “No it will never happen because the
Messenger of Allaah [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] told me
something.” I said, “What a terrible person I am to sit with. I have submitted
to what Allaah and His Messenger have said.” Verily this man was Hudfhayfah.
Imaam al-Qurtubee [May
Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
It is necessary for the
one who hears information from the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be
Upon him] about trials and tribulations that will occur to affirm them as they
have been narrated. To specify prophecies that discuss these trials and
tribulations that will occur necessitates one to have a deep-rooted
understanding of history.
[at-Tathkirah (Pg. 736)]
Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin
Muhammad as-Sadhaan [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:
Look, oh Muslims, on how
Huthayfah correct Jundub [May Allaah be Pleased with them both]. Jundub [May
Allaah be Pleased with him] was certain that blood would be spilt but look at
how he returned to the truth after someone from the people of knowledge
corrected him with certain knowledge.

Should be Done in times of Fitnah (trials) and Nawaazil (tribulations), Pg. 55]
