قال الإمام الحسن العَسْكَرِي : لقد رامتِ الفَجَرة الكفرة ليلة العقبة قَتْلَ رسول الله ﷺ على العقبة، ورام مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ مَرَدَةِ المُنافقين بالمدينة قَتْلَعلي بن أبي طالب ، فما قدروا على مُغالَبَة رَبِّهم، حملهم على ذلك حسدهم الرسول الله الله في علي له لما فخم من أمره، وعظم من شأنه .
Imam Hasan al-Askari stated: "On the night of the incident at Al-Aqaba, the wicked disbelievers attempted to kill the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and the remaining hypocrites in Medina plotted to kill Ali ibn Abi Talib. However, they were unable to overpower their Lord, who thwarted their plans. Their jealousy towards the Prophet ﷺ regarding Ali was the driving force behind their actions, especially because the Prophet had exalted Ali's status and glorified his position.

وقال الإمام أحمد رحمه الله: حدثنا يزيد أخبرنا الوليد بن عبد الله بن جميع، عن أبي الطفيل قال : لما أقبل رسول الله ﷺ من غزوة تبوك، أمر مناديا فنادى: إن رسول الله ﷺ أخذ العقبة فلا يأخذها أحد. فبينما رسول الله ﷺ يقوده حذيفة ويسوقه عمار، إذ أقبل رهط متلثمون على الرواحل فغشوا عمارا وهو يسوق برسول الله، وأقبل عمار رضى الله عنه يضرب وجوه الرواحل فقال رسول الله الحذيفة : قد قدا حتى هبط رسول الله ، فلما هبط نزل ورجع عمار، فقال: «يا عمار هل عرفت القوم ؟ فقال : قد عرفت عامة الرواحل، والقوم متلثمون قال: هل تدرى ما أرادوا ؟ قال : الله ورسوله أعلم . قال : أرادوا أن ينفروا برسول الله ﷺ فيطرحوه. قال : فسار عمار رجلا من أصحاب النبي ﷺ فقال : نشدتك بالله كم تعلم كان أصحاب العقبة؟ قال : أربعة عشر. فقال: إن كنت منهم فقد كانوا خمسة عشر. قال: فعذر رسول الله ﷺ منهم ثلاثة قالوا: والله ما سمعنا منادى رسول الله، وما علمنا ما أراد القوم فقال عمار: أشهد أن الاثنى عشر الباقين حرب الله ولرسوله في الحياة الدنيا ويوم يقوم الأشهاد وهكذا روى ابن لهيعة، عن أبي الأسود، عن عروة بن الزبير نحو هذا، وأن رسول الله ﷺ أمر أن يمشى الناس في بطن الوادى، وصعد هو وحذيفة وعمار العقبة، فتبعهم هؤلاء النفر الأرذلون وهم متلثمون، فأرادوا سلوك العقبة، فأطلع الله على مرادهم رسول الله ، فأمر حذيفة فرجع إليهم، فضرب وجوه رواحلهم، ففزعوا ورجعوا مقبوحين، وأعلم رسول الله ﷺ حذيفة وعمارا بأسمائهم، وما كانوا هموا به من الفتك به صلوات الله وسلامه عليه، وأمرهما أن يكتما عليهم
Narrated Yazid, narrated Al-Walid ibn Abdullah ibn Jumai from Aboo Tufail (r.a) who said: "When the Prophet (saw) set out to go to the battle of Tabuk, he stopped at Uqbah and then commanded his caller to call that no one should take the path leading to Uqbah since the Prophet (saw) was travelling in that path, and then whilst the Prophet (saw) had Ammar bin Yasir (r.a) pulling his camel from the front and Hudhaifah pushing from the back, a group having their faces covered came on a caravan and attacked the Holy Prophet (saw). Ammar (r.a) then came and attacked the masked men (May Allah (swt) Curse be upon them!) The Holy Prophet (saw) then said to Hudhaifah: ‘Quickly pull forward, pull forward.’ Then the Prophet (saw) came off the camel and asked Ammar (r.a) whether he had identified those people, Ammar (r.a) said: ‘No, they were masked.’ The Prophet (saw) asked: ‘Do you know what they wanted?’ Ammar (r.a) said: ‘Allah (swt) and his messenger (saw) know better.’ The Prophet (saw) said: ‘They wanted to throw the Prophet (saw) off from the Uqbah.’ After that when Ammar (r.a) had a dispute with one of them (people who tried to kill the Prophet), Ammar (r.a) said to him: ‘I swear to you by Allah (swt), how many people of the Uqbah tried to attack the Prophet (saw)?’ The man said: ‘We think they were about fourteen.’ Ammar (r.a) said: ‘And if you were amongst them it would be fifteen.’ Three of them put forward this excuse to the Prophet(saw): 'We did not hear the caller of the messenger of Allah (saw).' Ammar ibn Yassir (r.a) said: 'I bear testimony that the remaining twelve will fight Allah (swt) and His messenger (saw) in this world and on the day when the witnesses will be resurrected.'

Narrated ibn Lahima from Abi Aswad from Urwa ibn Zubair: "The messenger of Allah (saw) ordered the people to go by the valley and he went up with Hudhaifah and Ammar (r.a) by the Uqbah, then those wicked with faces covered followed them, and wanted to kill the Prophet (saw), so Allah (swt) revealed their intention to his messenger (saw) and he commanded Hudhaifah. Thus he turned towards them and hit them in their faces, they got scared and went back without any success. The messenger of Allah (saw) revealed their names to Hudhaifah and Ammar (r.a) and told them that they wanted to kill him (saw) and told them to pretend so as if you don't know them.

Hudhaifa Revealed Aboo Moosa Al-Ash’ari Was One Of The Hypocrites..
We read in Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala Vol 2, pg. 393 - 394:
الأعمش ، عن شقيق ، قال : كنا مع حذيفة جلوساً ، فدخل عبد الله وأبو موسى المسجد فقال : أحدهما منافق ، ثم قال : إن أشبه النَّاسِ هَديا ودلاً وسمتاً برسول الله ﷺ عبد الله
رجاله ثقات : وأخرجه الفسوي في تاريخ
Narrated Al-A’mash from Shaqiq who said: We were sitting beside Hudhayfah and Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) and Aboo Moosa (Al-Ash’ari) entered the mosque, Hudhaifa said: 'One of these two is a Munafiq', then he continue to say: 'The most similar people to the Prophet (saw) in his character, his actions and manner is Abdullah. (i.e. Aboo Musa is the Munafiq).

وقال مسدد: حدثنا يحيى، عن الأعمش، عن زيد بن
وهب قال : سمعت حذيفة رضي الله عنه ، يقول : مات رجل من المنافقين فلم أصل عليه، فقال عمر رضي الله عنه : ما منعك أن تصلي عليه؟ قلت : إنه منهم ، فقال : أبا لله منهم أنا؟ قلت : لا ، قال : (فبكى) رضي الله
عنه
Musaddad said: Narrated Yahya from Al-A’mash from Zaid ibn Wahab who said: I heard Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: "Another man of Munafiqeen died, and I will not pray on his funeral, Umar then said: what prevents you to pray on him? I said: Because he was one of them, (Umar) said: By Allah am I also one of them?! I said: 'No.' Then Umar cried.
The chain of this hadeeth is Saheeh, and (the other narration via) Ya’qoob ibn Sulaiman from the narration of Zaid ibn Wahab is denounced.

Umar Asking “am i among the Munafiqeen ”
We read in Tarikh Al-Islam Vol 3, pg. 494:
وحذيفة أحد أصحاب النبي له الأربعة عشر النجباء ، كان النبي ﷺ أسر إليه أسماء المنافقين ، وحفظ عنه الفتن التي تكون بين يدي الساعة ، وناشده عمر بالله : أنا من المنافقين ؟ ( اللهم لا ، ولا أزكي أحداً بعدك
Hudhaifah is one of the 14 noble companions of the Messenger of Allah (صلی الله و علیه و آله وسلم). The Messenger of Allah (صلی الله و علیه و آله وسلم) revealed to him the names of Munafiqeen, and protected him from the difficulties of the Hour, and Umar was swearing him by Allah: "Am I among these Munafiqeen?" in which he Hudhaifah replied, "By Allah (swt), no! I will never tell anyone after you."

Let us analyze a narration taken from Walid ibn Jumai in which he narrates another story of Al-Uqbah in Tabuk from Hudhaifah without mentioning the names of those Munafiqeen.
We read in Tahdheeb Al-Kamal Vol 31, pg. 35 - 37:
Al-Mizzi:
الوليد بن عبد الله بن جميع الزهري الكوفي، والد ثابت بن الوليد بن عبدالله بن جميع، وقد يُنسب إلى جده أيضا.
Al-Walid ibn Abdullah ibn Jumai Al-Zuhri Al-Kufi, father of Thabit ibn Walid ibn Abdullah ibn Jumai, he is also called after his grandfather (as Walid ibn Jumai).
قال عبد الله بن أحمد بن حنبل ( عن أبيه، وأبو داود : ليس به بأس
Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrates from his father and Aboo Dawood: 'There is no discussion about him.'
وقال إسحاق بن منصور، عن يحيى بن معين : ثقة وكذلك قال العجلي
And Ishaq ibn Mansoor from Yahya ibn Mo'een who said: 'He is Thiqah.'
Al-Ijlli said the same.
وقال أبو حاتم : صالح الحديث
Aboo Hayt'aam: 'His narrations are reliable.'
وقال عمرو بن علي : كان يحيى بن سعيد لا يحدثنا عن الوليد بن جميع فلما كان قبل موته بقليل حدثنا عنه
And Amr ibn Alee: Yahya ibn Sa’eed did not narrate from Walid ibn Jumai, but near his death he started to narrate to us from him.
وذكره ابن حبان في كتاب الثقات
Ibn Hibban mentioned him in his book 'Al-Thuqat.'
روى له البخاري في الأدب، والباقون سوى ابن ماجة
Al-Bukhari has narrated from him in his 'Al-Adab' and the others, except Ibn Majah.

Ibn Hazim explicitly reveals that there are numerous reports through Walid ibn Jumai in which the identities of the Munafiqeen were revealed. The names of those who attempted to kill the Prophet (saw) were Aboo Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Talha and Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqas.
But in another version
We read in Tafsir Ibn Kathir Vol 4, pg. 182:
وما رواه مسلم أيضا من حديث قتادة عن أبي نضرة، عن قيس بن عباد، عن عمار بن ياسر قال: أخبرني حذيفة عن النبي أنه قال: «في أصحابي اثنا عشر منافقا، لا يدخلون الجنة، ولا يجدون ريحها حتى يلج [الجمل في سم الخياط : ثمانية تكفيكهم الدبيلة : سراج من نار يظهر بين أكتافه حتى ينجم من صدورهم . ولهذا كان حذيفة يقال له : صاحب السر الذي لا يعلمه غيره أي من تعيين جماعة من المنافقين، وهم هؤلاء، قد أطلعه عليهم رسول الله ﷺ دون غيره، والله أعلم
Muslim also narrated from Qotada from Abi Nazra from Qais ibn Ebad from Ammar ibn Yasir from Hudhaifah who said: The messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"AMONG MY COMPANIONS ARE TWELVE HYPOCRITES (Munafiqeen) WHO WILL NEVER ENTER PARADISE or find its scent, until the camel enters the thread of the needle. Eight of them will be struck by the Dubaylah, which is a missile made of fire that appears between their shoulders and pierces their chests."
Because of this, Hudhaifah was called the owner of the secret, which nobody knows because he could specify a group of Munafiqeen and they were those people about whom the the messenger of Allah (صلی الله و علیه و آله وسلم) informed him. Allah (swt) knows best.

Who Were the Munafiqeen?
We read in Al-Muhalla Vol 11, pg. 224:
وأما حديث حذيفة فساقط لأنه من طريق الوليد بن جميع وهو هالك ولا نراه يعلم من وضع الحديث فانه قد روى أخبارا فيها ان أبا بكر وعمر وعثمان . وطلحة . وسعد بن أبي وقاص رضى الله عنهم أرادوا قتل الذي صلى الله عليه وسلم وإلقاءه من العقبة في تبوك وهذا هو الكذب الموضوع الذي يطعن الله تعالى واضعه فسقط التعلق به والحمد لله رب العالمين
Hudhaifah's hadeeth is false, because it is narrated through Walid ibn Jumai– he is unreliable it seems he does not know who fabricated the hadeeth, because he narrated many reports in which state that Aboo Bakr, Umar, Uthmaan, Talha and Sa’d ibn Abi Waqas, attempted to murder the Holy Prophet (saw) by pushing him over from Al-Uqbah during Tabuk. This is a fabricated lie!"

We read in Musnad al-Bazzar Vol 7, pg.227-228, Hadith # 2800:
حدثنا عباد بن يعقوب قال: أخبرنا محمد بن فضيل قال: أخبرنا الوليد بن جميع عن أبي الطفيل عن حذيفة - رضي الله عنه - قال : لما كان غزوة تبوك أمر رسول الله ﷺ منادياً فنادي أن رسول الله ﷺ أخذ العقبة فلا تأخذوها فسار رسول الله ﷺ في العقبة وعمار يسوق وحذيفة يقود به فإذا هم برواحل عليها قوم متلثمون فقال رسول الله ﷺ: قد قد، ويا عمار من سن فأقبل عمار على القوم فضرب وجوه رواحلهم فلما هبط رسول الله ﷺ من العقبة قال: يا عمار قد عرفت القوم، أو قال: قد عرفت عامة القوم أو الرواحل، أندري ما أراد القوم؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم قال: أرادوا أن ينفروا برسول الله ﷺ. وهذا الحديث لا تعلمه يروى بهذا اللفظ إلا عن حذيفة عن النبي ﷺ وقد روى عن حذيفة من غير هذا
الوجه، وهذا الوجه أحسنها اتصالاً وأصلحها إسناداً إلا أن أبا الطفيل قد روى عن النبي ﷺ أحاديث. والوليد بن جميع هذا لمعروف إلا أنه كانت فيه شيعية شديدة وقد احتمل أهل العلم حديثه وحدثوا عنه
‘Abbad bin Ya'qub narrated to us, saying: Muhammad bin Fudayl informed us, and Al-Walid bin Jumai’ informed us from Abu Al-Tufayl from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
'During the Battle of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered a caller to announce that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had taken the mountain pass, so do not take it.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) proceeded on the pass while ‘Ammar was driving and Hudhayfah was leading. Suddenly, they encountered camels with men whose faces were covered. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Go ahead, ‘Ammar." Then ‘Ammar approached the men and struck the faces of their camels. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) descended from the pass, he said: "‘Ammar, did you recognize the men?" or he said: "Did you recognize most of the men or the camels?" He asked: "Do you know what they intended?" I replied: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "They intended to startle the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)."'
This hadith is not known to be narrated with this wording except from Hudhayfah, from the Prophet (ﷺ). It has been narrated from Hudhayfah through other routes, but this one is the best in terms of connection and the most sound in its chain of transmission. However, it should be noted that Abu Al-Tufayl narrated several hadiths from the Prophet (ﷺ). Al-Walid bin Jumai’ is well-known, though he had strong Shia tendencies, but the scholars accepted his hadith and transmitted from him

Yazid narrated to us, Walid—meaning Ibn Abdullah bin Jami'—informed us, from Abu Al-Tufayl, who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was returning from the Battle of Tabuk, he ordered a crier to announce that the Messenger of Allah would take the mountain pass, and no one else should take it. While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was being led by Hudhayfah and followed by Ammar, a group of masked men approached on their mounts, surrounding Ammar as he was following the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ammar began to strike the faces of their mounts. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Hudhayfah, "Keep going, keep going," until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended safely. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had descended, he dismounted, and Ammar returned. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Ammar, did you recognize the people?" Ammar replied, "I recognized most of the mounts, but the people were masked." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Do you know what they intended?" Ammar said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "They intended to scare the Messenger of Allah and throw him down."Ammar then asked one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "By Allah, how many people do you know were involved in the incident at the mountain pass?" The man said, "Fourteen." Ammar replied, "If you were among them, then they were fifteen in total, but the Prophet ﷺ excused three of them who said, 'By Allah, we did not hear the crier of the Messenger of Allah, and we did not know what the others intended.'" Ammar then said, "I bear witness that the remaining twelve are at war with Allah and His Messenger in this life and on the Day when witnesses will stand."Walid added: Abu Al-Tufayl mentioned that during that battle, it was reported to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that there was a shortage of water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered a crier to announce, "
Let no one approach the water before the Messenger of Allah." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached the water, he found that a group had already arrived before him, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed them on that day.
