حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَعْدٍ، (قَالَ غَيْرُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ،) عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَانْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ فَرَأَيْنَا حُمَّرَةً مَعَهَا فَرْخَانِ فَأَخَذْنَا فَرْخَيْهَا فَجَاءَتِ الْحُمَّرَةُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَفْرُشُ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ فَجَعَ هَذِهِ بِوَلَدِهَا رُدُّوا وَلَدَهَا إِلَيْهَا».

وَرَأَى قَرْيَةَ نَمْلٍ قَدْ حَرَّقْنَاهَا فَقَالَ: «مَنْ حَرَّقَ هَذِهِ». قُلْنَا نَحْنُ. قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِالنَّارِ إِلاَّ رَبُّ النَّارِ»

We were with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) during a journey. He went to ease himself. We saw a bird with her two young ones and we captured her young ones. The bird came and began to spread its wings. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came and said: Who grieved this for its young ones? Return its young ones to it.

He also saw an ant village that we had burnt. He asked: Who has burnt this? We replied: We. He said: It is not proper to punish with fire except the Lord of fire.

‘আব্দুর রাহমান ইবনু ‘আব্দুল্লাহ (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা ‘আমরা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সফর সঙ্গী ছিলাম। তিনি তাঁর প্রয়োজনে অন্যত্র গেলেন।

‘আমরা দু’টি বাচ্চাসহ একটি পাখি দেখতে পেয়ে বাচ্চা দুটোকে ধরে নিলাম। মা পাখিটা সাথে সাথে আসলো এবং পাখা ঝাঁপটিয়ে বাচ্চার জন্য অস্থিরতা প্রকাশ করতে লাগলো।

রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ফিরে এসে বললেনঃ কে এর বাচ্চা নিয়ে এসে একে অস্থিরতায় ফেলেছে? বাচ্চাগুলো এদের মায়ের কাছে ফিরিয়ে দাও। তিনি আমাদের পুড়িয়ে দেয়া একটা পিঁপড়ার টিবি দেখতে পেয়ে বললেনঃ কে এগুলো পুড়িয়েছে?

‘আমরা বললাম, ‘আমরা। তিনি বললেনঃ আগুনের রব ব্যতীত আগুন দিয়ে কিছুকে শাস্তি দেয়ার কারো অধিকার নেই।

عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ ایک سفر میں تھے کہ آپ اپنی ضرورت کے لیے گئے، ہم نے ایک چڑیا دیکھی جس کے ساتھ دو بچے تھے، ہم نے ان بچوں کو پکڑ لیا، وہ چڑیا آ کر زمین پر پر بچھانے لگی، اتنے میں نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم آ گئے، اور ( یہ دیکھ کر ) فرمایا: اس چڑیا کا بچہ لے کر کس نے اسے بے قرار کیا ہے؟

اس کے بچے کو اسے واپس کرو ، اور آپ نے چیونٹیوں کی ایک بستی کو دیکھا جسے ہم نے جلا دیا تھا تو پوچھا: اس کو کس نے جلایا ہے؟

ہم لوگوں نے کہا: ہم نے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: آگ سے عذاب دینا آگ کے مالک کے سوا کسی کو زیب نہیں دیتا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Shalih Mahbub bin Musa], telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Ishaq Al Fazari], dari [Abu Ishaq Asy Syaibani], dari [Ibnu Sa'd], telah berkata selain Shalih, dari Al Hasan bin Sa'd dari [Abdurrahman bin Abdullah] dari [ayahnya], ia berkata; kami pernah bersama Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam suatu perjalanan, kemudian beliau pergi untuk suatu keperluannya, kemudian kami melihat seekor burung bersama kedua anaknya.

Lalu kami mengambil kedua anaknya, kemudian burung tersebut datang dan mengepak-ngepakkan sayapnya. Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam datang dan berkata: "Siapakah yang menyakiti burung ini dengan mengambil anaknya? Kembalikan anaknya kepadanya." Dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melihat kelompok semut yang telah kami bakar, kemudian beliau bersabda: "Siapakah yang telah membakar semut ini?"

Kami katakan; kami. Beliau berkata: "Sesungguhnya tidak layak untuk menyiksa dengan api kecuali Tuhan Penguasa api

Abdullah b. Mes'ûd'dan; demiştir ki: Rasûluliah (s.a.v.) ile bir seferde idik, bir ihtiyacından dolayı (yanımızdan) uzaklaşmıştı. O sırada iki tane yavrusuyla birlikte bir kaya kuşu gördük ve yavrularını yakaladık. Bunun üzerine (anne) kuş gelip kanatlarını (onların üzerine) germeye başladı. Derken Peygamber (s.a.v.) geldi ve; "Bunu yavrularıyla üzen kimdir?

Onları kendisine geri veriniz!" buyurdu. Yine (Fahr-i kainat efendimiz) bizim yakmış olduğumuz bir karınca yuvasını gördü de; "Bunu kim yaktı" diye sordu. Biz de, Biz dedik. "Ateşle cezalandırmak, ateş'in yaratıcısından başka hiçbir kimse için uygun değildir," buyurdu

What it means

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that they were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went away to relieve himself, and during that time, his Companions found a Hummarah bird with two chicks, so they took the chicks.

The mother bird began flapping and spreading her wings in distress over the loss of her chicks. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) returned, he said: Who has saddened her and frightened her by taking away her baby birds?! Then he commanded that they should be returned to her. After that, he saw an ant colony that was burnt with fire, and he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Who burned this?

Some of his Companions said: We did. He said to them: It is not permissible for anyone to torture a living being with fire, except Allah, Who created it.

What it teaches

  • The permissibility and recommendation of seeking privacy when relieving oneself.
  • The prohibition of torturing animals by taking away their younglings.
  • The prohibition of burning ants and insects with fire.
  • Encouraging kindness and mercy toward animals—an area in which Islam has long been a pioneer.
  • Mercy of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) toward animals.
  • Punishment with fire is something that is exclusively reserved for Allah Almighty.
