I came to the Prophet ﷺ and prayed Maghrib with him. He continued praying until he prayed Isha, then he left and I followed him. He heard my footsteps and asked, "Who is this? Hudhayfah?"I replied, "Yes."He said, "What do you need? May Allah forgive you and your mother. This is an angel who had never descended to the earth before tonight. He sought permission from his Lord to greet me with peace and to give me the good news that Fatimah is the leader of the women of Paradise, and that Hasan and Husayn are the leaders of the youth of Paradise."
أتيت النبي ﷺ فصليت معه المغرب، فصلى حتى صلى العشاء ثم انتقل فتتبعته، فسمع صوتي فقال: من هذا؟ حذيفة؟ قلت: نعم، قال: ما حاجتك؟ غفر الله لك ولأمك. قال: إن هذا ملك لم ينزل الأرض قط قبل هذه الليلة، استأذن ربه أن يسلم علي ويبشرني بأن فاطمة سيدة نساء أهل الجنة، وأن الحسن والحسين سيدا شباب أهل الجنة.
Tirmidhi (3781) narrated it from Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman and Ishaq bin Mansur, who both said, "Muhammad bin Yusuf informed us, from Israil, from Maysara bin Habib, from Minhal bin Amr, from Zirr bin Hubaysh, from Huzaifa," in a longer hadith than this, which is mentioned in the chapters on voluntary prayers. Tirmidhi said, "Hasan gharib from this angle, we do not know it except through the hadith of Israil."I say, and this is indeed so, for Maysara bin Habib and his teacher Minhal bin Amr are both "truthful."
