Sahih al-Bukhari 6593 (Book 81, Hadith 181) #6341
Staying True to One's Faith

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of staying true to one's faith and not turning away from it.

Narrated Asma 'bint Abu Bakr: The Prophet said, "I will be standing at the Lake-Fount so that I will see whom among you will come to me; and some people will be taken away from me, and I will say, 'O Lord, (they are) from me and from my followers'. Then it will be said, 'Did you notice what they did after you? By Allah, they kept on turning on their heels (turned as renegades)'. " The sub-narrator, Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "O Allah, we seek refuge with You from turning on our heels, or being put to trial in our religion".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَتْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ حَتَّى أَنْظُرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ مِنْكُمْ، وَسَيُؤْخَذُ نَاسٌ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي‏.‏ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ شَعَرْتَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَاللَّهِ مَا بَرِحُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُفْتَنَ عَنْ دِينِنَا‏.‏ ‏{‏أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُونَ‏}‏ تَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى الْعَقِبِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of staying true to one's faith and not turning away from it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is described as standing at a lake-fount waiting for his followers. He will recognize those who come to him but some will be taken away because they turned on their heels and became renegades. The sub-narrator Ibn Abi Mulaika then expresses his desire for Allah’s protection against such a fate. This hadith serves as a reminder that we should remain steadfast in our faith and never turn away from it no matter what temptations or trials may come our way. It also teaches us that we should always seek refuge in Allah when faced with difficult situations so that we can stay strong in our beliefs and values.
