حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ) حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَيْمُونٍ صَاحِبَ الأَنْمَاطِ) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Your Lord is munificent and generous, and is ashamed to turn away empty the hands of His servant when he raises them to Him.

সালমান ফারসী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ নিশ্চয় তোমাদের রবব চিরঞ্জীব ও মহান দাতা। বান্দাহ দু’ হাত তুলে তাঁর নিকট চাইলে তিনি খালি হাত ফেরত দিতে লজ্জবোধ করেন।[1] সহীহ।

سلمان رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تمہارا رب بہت باحیاء اور کریم ( کرم والا ) ہے، جب اس کا بندہ اس کے سامنے اپنے دونوں ہاتھ اٹھاتا ہے تو انہیں خالی لوٹاتے ہوئے اسے اپنے بندے سے شرم آتی ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Muammal bin Al Fadhl Al Harrani], telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Isa yaitu Ibnu Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada Kami [Ja'far yaitu Ibnu Maimun] pemilik beberapa anmath, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu Utsman] dari [Salman], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallAllahu wa'alaihi wa sallam bersabda: "Sesungguhnya Tuhan kalina Yang Maha Suci dan Maha Tinggi adalah Maha Hidup dan Mulia, Dia merasa malu dari hambanya apabila ia mengangkat kedua tanganya kepadaNya dan mengembalikannya dalam keadaan kosong

Selman (r.a.) demiştir ki; Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Şüphesiz Rabbiniz son derece haya ve kerem sahibidir. Kulu ona elini kaldırdığı zaman, o elleri boş çevirmekten haya eder

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encourages raising the hands during supplication and informed that Allah Almighty is (Bashful), possessing great bashfulness, and does not withhold giving. He does for the slave what brings him joy and refrains from what harms him.

(Munificent) as He gives without being asked, so how much more after being asked! He feels bashful of His believing slave to return his hands empty of His answer and disappointed after they have been raised in supplication.

What it teaches

  • The more one shows his need for Allah Almighty and worships Him, the more likely it is to have his supplication answered.
  • Encouraging supplication and pointing out that it is recommended to raise the hands while supplicating, as this is one of the causes for the supplication to be answered.
  • Clarifying the extensive bounty and mercy of Allah towards His slaves.
