We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he admonished us, mentioning the Fire. Then I went home, joked with the children, and played with my wife.I went out and met Abu Bakr, and I mentioned this to him. He said, "I too have done the same as what you describe."So we met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I said, "Messenger of Allah, Hanzala has become a hypocrite."He said, "What do you mean?"I told him what had happened, and Abu Bakr said, "I have done the same as he has done."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hanzala, there is a time for this and a time for that. If your hearts were to remain always as they are during remembrance, the angels would shake your hands and greet you in the streets."
حدثني إسحق بن منصور أخبرنا عبد الصمد سمعت أبي يحدث حدثنا سعيد الجريري عن أبي عثمان النهدي
كنا عند رسول الله ﷺ فوعظنا فذكر النار قال ثم جئت إلى البيت فضاحكت الصبيان ولاعبت المرأة قال فخرجت فلقيت أبا بكر فذكرت ذلك له فقال وأنا قد فعلت مثل ما تذكر فلقينا رسول الله ﷺ فقلت يا رسول الله نافق حنظلة فقال مه فحدثته بالحديث فقال أبو بكر وأنا قد فعلت مثل ما فعل فقال يا حنظلة ساعة وساعة ولو كانت تكون قلوبكم كما تكون عند الذكر لصافحتكم الملائكة حتى تسلم عليكم في الطرق
