حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قُبُورًا وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا قَبْرِي عِيدًا وَصَلُّوا عَلَىَّ فَإِنَّ صَلَاتَكُمْ تَبْلُغُنِي حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Do not make your houses graves, and do not make my grave a place of festivity. But invoke blessings on me, for your blessings reach me wherever you may be.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযি.) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা তোমাদের ঘরগুলোকে কবরস্থানে পরিণত করো না এবং আমার কবরকে উৎসবের স্থানে পরিণত করো না। তোমরা আমার উপর দরূদ পাঠ করো। তোমরা যেখানেই থাকো না কেন তোমাদের দরূদ আমার কাছে পৌঁছানো হবে।[1] সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اپنے گھروں کو قبرستان نہ بناؤ ۱؎ اور میری قبر کو میلا نہ بناؤ ( کہ سب لوگ وہاں اکٹھا ہوں ) ، اور میرے اوپر درود بھیجا کرو کیونکہ تم جہاں بھی رہو گے تمہارا درود مجھے پہنچایا جائے گا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Shalih], aku membacakan kepada [Abdullah bin Nafi'], telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ibnu Abu Dzi`bin] dari [Sa'id Al Maqburi], dari [Abu Hurairah], ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Janganlah kalian jadikan rumah-rumah kalian sebagai kuburan (tidak pernah dilaksanakan di dalamnya shalat dan juga tidak pernah dikumandangkan ayat-ayat Al Quran, sehingga seperti kuburan), dan jangan kalian jadikan kuburanku sebagai 'id (hari raya, yakni tempat yang selalu dikunjungi dan didatangi pada setiap waktu dan saat), bershalawatlah kepadaku, sesungguhnya shalawat kalian akan sampai kepadaku di manapun kalian berada

Ebû Hureyre (r.a.)'den; demiştir ki: Resûlullah sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Evlerinizi kabirlere çevirmeyiniz. Kabrimi de bayram yeri haline getirmeyiniz. Bana (sadece) salavat getiriniz. Çünkü nerede olursanız olun, sizin salâvâtınız bana ulaşır

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that houses be free from prayers and thus become like graves, where prayer is not offered. He forbade frequently visiting his grave and gathering there in an usual manner, for this is a means leading to polytheism. He commanded that we invoke Allah's blessings upon him from any place on earth, for this will reach him from the near and the distant places alike; so, there is no need to frequent his grave.

What it teaches

  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that houses be free from the worship of Allah Almighty.
  • It is forbidden to travel to pay a visit to the Prophet's grave, as he commanded that when we invoke Allah's blessings upon him, they reach him. We may only travel to go to the mosque and pray there.
  • It is prohibited to make visiting the Prophet's grave a form of celebration by repeating it in a specific way and at a specific time. This also applies to visiting any other grave.
  • This points out the Prophet's high status in the sight of his Lord, as Allah Almighty made the invocation of His blessings upon him permissible from any place and at any time.
  • As it was well established among the Companions that prayer must not be offered at graves, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade to make houses like graves where prayer is not performed.
