Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the hadith when Hudhayfah asked himSahih al-Bukhari 7084? So what is the meaning of his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement, "And in it is dakhn"? It means there is evil in it. Dakhn means
Answer:
evil, or good accompanied by some evil. It is a wisdom from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)[Al-Anbya 21:35] that the time is not entirely pure good, but rather there is some evil for the sake of trial and testing. However, sometimes the good predominates and sometimes the evil predominates. As for the time being clear with its people, containing nothing but good, that does not exist. This contradicts the wisdom of Allah. Or if it were all evil with no good, that also contradicts the wisdom of Allah. There must be both good and evil for the sake of trial and testing until the Hour stands.
